I recently upgraded my ubuntu environment to 13.04 and emacs 24.2.1 came with it. org-mode was working fine within it out of the box except it failed with "Symbol's function definition is void: org-defvaralias" when I restarted the machine this morning. Not finding much on google I decided to upgrade org-mode to the latest release so I added (require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t) (unless package-archive-contents ;; Refresh the packages descriptions (package-refresh-contents)) (setq package-load-list '(all)) ;; List of packages to load (unless (package-installed-p 'org) ;; Make sure the Org package is (package-install 'org)) ;; installed, install it if not (package-initialize) ;; Initialize & Install Package to my init as per http://orgmode.org/elpa.html#. This gave me org-version 8.0.3 Now my agenda is completely blank with no tasks displaying at all (they also fail to display in the other views). A message "org-agenda-skip: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil" appears when I try to recalculate the agenda view. I know that something is now failing in one of my org files because if I reset org-agenda-files to a simple test file it works. However, I have literally dozens of org files, some of which are many thousands of lines long because I use them for client documentation. They were working fine in the previous version of org-mode. Another, possibly related issue is that when emacs opens and the agenda is calculated, the test file buffer is marked as changed when it is not changed. Is there some way I can easily narrow down the issue or perhaps restore the robustness of the previous org-mode version? --20cf307ac4c966b6f704e08f6706 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Ho= wever, I have literally dozens of org files, some of which are many thousan= ds of lines long because I use them for client documentation.
