Bug :-( Running as daemon

Comments

Hello, I share this to know if other people are having the same issue:

when running emacs as daemon I get this:
alt

And when opening an emacsclient sth feels off (note the coloring on the window numbers)
alt

And then when running something that takes input (such as helm-projectile) I get the prompt at the terminal where the daemon is running >very weird:
alt

Also, SPC : doesn't seem to be defined, etc, etc I don't know if this is a problem with spacemacs but it looks as if spacemacs is not fully loading while being called as a daemon.

Could you reproduce with stock Spacemacs?

No I can't ;; which means...I'm the problem right? dayum ;;

Not necessary. To find out, you can remove your personal config and private layer, and only leave the pre-configured layers active. Maybe there's a problem with a layer. If not, then, you now know where to look at :)

:) ye, I'm gonna disable all my layers. then I'll se what's up with that.

@CestDiego

This is very weird, so I disable all my layers and just stay with spacemacs' ones, and then the problem rises again D: I know it stops after keybindings. And what's after that is

Loading /home/io/.emacs.d/.cache/recentf...done
Start checking for new version...
Open the quickhelp.

ok So I deleted the nyan-cat stuff that checked if emacs was running as a graphical system. and now I don't see the prompt at the terminal and SPC : is defined, buuuut still

alt

Shows that there is sth wrong in the modeline.

@CestDiego what does the screenshot show ?

@CestDiego

Contributor Author

@syl20bnr normally I would be able to have the numbers in black background, what I feel here, is that when I make a new frame after running as a daemon, none of the graphical features work, (spacemacs logo doesn't show, nyancat, etc)

my spacemacs when running as daemon can't find source code pro, and the mode-line doesn't have fancy graphic. Same as @CestDiego I think.

@mistnim unfortunately, running emacs as daemon spawns it as a service, and so all the loading is done as service of that :( So no GUI loading features.

WIP: Properly initialize the display for daemon mode.
be81cba 
WORK IN PROGRESS.  NEEDS TESTING.  NEEDS TO USE THIS THROUGHOUT THE REST
OF SPACEMACS INITIALIZATION.

Will push a clean commit when everything is working satisfactorily.

Add macro to wrap things that depend on the display being
initialized (and a frame active), such as getting the font.  Advise the
`server-create-window-system-frame` function which is called by
emacsclient when creating a window-system frame.  This is only run the
first time a frame is created, so the advice removes itself.

Fixes: syl20bnr#299 and syl20bnr#1894

Ok should be good for the cat, remove the code that disable the cat and relaunch a daemon with a GUI and/or terminal client.

syl20bnr commented Jan 5, 2016

Basically I only re-enable the cat for the first GUI client... don't know if it will be robust enough.

syl20bnr commented Jan 5, 2016

There are still some issues with italic and some colors (helm for instance) but maybe we cannot do much about it...

EDIT: Actually the missing italic font may be an issue on my config.

syl20bnr commented Jan 5, 2016

But now terminal Emacs is affected

I don't mind having no logo in terminal client. If one use both GUI and terminal client, chances are that terminal ones are for quick edit so a missing banner is not such a big deal :-)

:) I'm so happy with this.. the only problem I have is the number color, and also I haven't really used terminal Emacs before, is the color of the evilified state cursor supposed to have trouble? it looks just the same as the normal state one

@syl20bnr

syl20bnr commented Jan 5, 2016

Yes the cursor color is always the same, we had a package to change the shape of the cursor but it was buggy so we had to remove it.
For the window and workspace numbers color I suppose this is the same kind of issue as the helm source header. For the unicode window and workspace numbers this might be fixed in spaceline, not really sure how to fix this for now.

I say after the number thing is fixed we can close this issue. But great job on this! :)

What problem is in helm with italics?

@syl20bnr

syl20bnr commented Jan 5, 2016

I have underlines, but this is also the case with regular emacs GUI so I guess this is my emacs build/font.

TheBB commented Jan 5, 2016

@TheBB I'm not sure how I can fix the window number and persp number since they are handled by spaceline.

Well, first we need to find out which code needs to be run post-GUI. I'm sure that setting those variables won't change anything, since they are set in a hook that runs every time the modeline updates, and so should be even more up to date than they strictly speaking need to be.

Hi,
Sorry to reopen this, but apparently I'm still getting issues with the powerline when starting in daemon mode.
The weird thing is that it looks normal on the spacemacs buffer, but in a regular file buffer it looks weird, as reported by the previous screenshots. Any thoughts ?

It's not definite but since there has been a wide variety of issues reported here, and since many of them have been fixed in develop now, I am labeling as such. If there are still problems please open more specific issues.

Fixed with released of Spacemacs v0.200. Let us know if you still have any problems with this issue.
