I am running the latest Tumbleweed # VERSION="20200818" with just emacs from the editors repo .
When calling /usr/bin/emacs-gtk or simply emacs-gtk here is an extra message.
Warning: game dir ’/var/games/emacs’: Permission denied
When just using /usr/bin/emacs the permissioin message is not there but melpa package async (async-20200809.501/async.el) is broken with sentinel error message but with /usr/bin/emacs-gtk the error is gone and the package works as it should
The warning is about you are not member of the group games, Oug? You've said that with /usr/bin/emacs-gtk the error is gone? If so you might check is there is a background process running for a emacs server ps ux | grep emacs this because there exists a systemd user service unit which might start such a daemon server: werner/emacs> ps aux | grep emacs werner 21109 18.9 0.7 255536 63320 ? Ssl 09:32 0:01 /usr/bin/emacs --fg-daemon werner 21129 0.0 0.0 3400 608 pts/0 S+ 09:32 0:00 grep emacs If you reinstall emacs you might restart this user service unit systemctl --user restart emacs if this is not the case then one of the environment variables in the script /usr/bin/emacs cause the broken behaviour.
I am not going to make another bug report but the man page needs fixing
man emacs says
Ah ... OK that isn't deliverd from configure script to the manual pages :(
