Hi, I have a weird behaviour of emacs 27, too. When starting emacs from a shell with a filename to open, emacs completely ignores the argument. E.g.: bash-> emacs text.txt & Then Emacs starts, produces a lot of output in the shell, and opens the empty scratch-buffer. In the Minibuffer is the message "Can’t find Hunspell dictionary with a .aff affix file". I don't need the Hunspell dictionary and would prefer Emacs didn't bother to look for it. What I find annoying is that I need to visit the file "text.txt" from within emacs to open it. I don't see a way to open the file as an argument in the shell command. To start emacs in the terminal doesn't help: bash-> emacs -nw text.txt ...still doesn't open the file "text.txt" I also seem to have a problem with the way the font is used in the emacs X window. The normal 12 point size is thin and difficult to read. I need to enlarge the font to 17 point to get the letters displayed OK. I can't understand this, since the fonts are OK in the terminal, even when I use a rather small sized font. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Short answer install the Emacs from Editors repo as it works as it should be

For details see if they are related to your problems if yes then you know what to do next

Dear Dr. Fink, thank you very much for you kind help. With the emacs from the editors repo, the fonts are fine, so this problem is sorted. Emacs also doesn't give me a load of messages in the terminal, so that is fine, too. But I still am unable to pass the file name as an argument. bash-> emacs test.txt & still opens Emacs with scratch and I have to open the file from within Emacs. Could you please help me?

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175487

thank you very much, that package indeed does not have this issue. Now my only (known) problem with emacs 27 is that ERC is unable to connect to two channels with the same name (but on different IRC servers) - unlike emacs 26.3. Which is super annoying but much less a problem than the original issue. So thanks again!
