If I start emacs-26.3 from a command line (in a TUI or xterm) I do get a working emacs. Parts of this problem looked GTK3 relted, so I have upgraded all the GTK3 packages that are available. This doesn't make a difference. There were elpa packages in the available package list, so I upgraded those in case they caused some problem during installation which stopped the menu entry (Programming/Emacs) from being written. I have re-installed all the emacs packages, which made no difference. I started emacs from the command line (xterm) under strace, and the resulting strace has no lines which grep could find with grep -i gtk. My LXQT menu system doesn't display a LX-runner that I can see. I spawned lxqt-runner from a command line (xterm), and it popped a box up on the screen. Having it try to spawn emacs did not result in a GUI emacs session. ~/.xsession-errors doesn't seem to have anything applicable. /var/log/messages doesn't seem to have anything applicable. /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't seem to have anything applicable. running strace -o /tmp/emacs2.strace emacs -q --geometry80x36 from lxqt-runner does not start a GUI emacs. The strace output ends with a message to STDERR that STDIN is not a tty. I don't know if there is anything else useful in the strace output. There doesn't seem to be any information here, which might help in identifying what is happening. If you had suggestions for what other things to try, I might be able to provide more information. -- System Information: Distributor ID: Devuan Description: Devuan GNU/Linux beowulf/ceres Release: 10 Codename: n/a Architecture: x86_64 Kernel: Linux 5.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages emacs depends on: ii emacs-nox 1:26.3+1-1 emacs recommends no packages. emacs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
