I always set up emacs running in server mode, and every time I update Ubuntu, the procedure to do this changes.
Even though I have all the same setting in my /.bash_aliases
and /.emacs
, it will not work.
I have emacs 24.3.x (whatever the most recent version is), I have AUCTeX cvs, and TeX Live 2013 installed.
In my ./bash_aliases
, I have
emacs = 'emacsclient -t --alternate-editor='
The relevant information in my /.emacs
is
;; Start server and set directory
(setq server-socket-dir (format "/tmp/emacs%d" (user-uid)))
(server-start)
(custom-set-variables
'(TeX-PDF-mode t)
'(TeX-show-compilation t)
'(TeX-newline-function (quote newline-and-indent))
'(TeX-source-correlate-method (quote synctex))
'(TeX-source-correlate-mode t)
'(TeX-source-correlate-start-server t))
Problems only occur opening LaTeX files. Sometimes it says another server is running and other times it says:
dustin@dustin:~/Documents/NUPOC/NUPOCSoln$ emacs SolnNUPOC.tex
emacsclient.emacs24: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715
Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is unexpectedly lost.
Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this problem.

Restarting server
I read in the manual a footnote that:
Some programs use a different environment variable; for example, to make TeX use ‘emacsclient’, set the TEXEDIT environment variable to ‘emacsclient +%d %s’.
There is no mention (that I can find) on where and how to set the TEXEDIT environment.
- How do I set the TEXEDIT environment? or
- How can I set up emacsclient to work?
This set up worked prior to having to re-install everything.
