Problem with remember and org-mode 6.01d

Problem with remember and org-mode 6.01d

[Jurgen Defurne]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade to the newest org-mode, but I really need the remember functionality.

I have two systems, one that acts as 'production' and one that acts as 'test'. On production I am still on the org-mode 5.23 + remember 1.9. I am now trying remember 2.0 (although I have tested after failure with 1.9) with org-mode 6.01d. I have setup the test system that it has the same emacs startup commands as the production system.

When I try to enter a remember template, C-c r works, but upon selection of the template I get 

        symbol's function definition is void : x-selection-value

Does any one have a clue about this problem ?

Regards,

Jurgen

I just tried the same on a different, clean machine and I still get the same problem. This is the content of my .emacs file :

(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/remember")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org")

(require 'org-install)
(require 'remember)

(org-remember-insinuate)
(setq org-directory "~/agenda")
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "/notes.org"))
(define-key global-map "\C-cr" 'org-remember)

(setq org-remember-templates
  '(("Todo" ?t "* TODO %?\n  %i\n  %a" "~/org/TODO.org" "Tasks")
    ("Journal" ?j "* %U %?\n\n  %i\n  %a" "~/org/JOURNAL.org")
    ("Idea" ?i "* %^{Title}\n  %i\n  %a" "~/org/JOURNAL.org" "New Ideas")))

Apparently you have an Emacs version that has X-windows, but does not  
know the
function x-selection-value (which is used by Org to extract the X  
selection).

Which Emacs version is that?

Thanks.

P.S.  The git repo has already a work-around, but the next release is  
only in a few days.

I only use (x)emacs versions 21.

At home here, I only use emacs. I use xemacs at my job because it has better cross-platform compatibility (emacs 21 requires an X-server under Windows, while xemacs runs fine using Cygwin, so I have POSIX compatibility, but can still run on Windows without X-server). And I am not planning to upgrade org and remember at my job until it runs satisfactorily here ate home (where I can tolerate some missing features).

Jurgen

Hi Jurgen,

I didn't test the remember clipboard patch on GNU Emacs 21, only on XEmacs 21
and GNU Emacs 22. I'll get a patch out ASAP; in the meantime you can use
Carsten's workaround in Git.

Re: Problem with remember and org-mode 6.01d : Finally success

[Jurgen Defurne]

Dear all,

I noticed this noon that org-mode 6.02 was released, and I tried it out. I managed to get it working. Here are my notes for XEmacs 21 on Cygwin. I still have to test on emacs 21, but that will not be for tonight.

** TODO Error in org-6.02 makefile + patch
   The path ./lisp should be added to the load-path, otherwise all requires
   fail/
** TODO Error when requesting 'R' in agenda mode
   (3) (warning/warning) Error caught in `font-lock-pre-idle-hook':
   (error No such face :strike-through)
** TODO Error when requesting 'R'
   Clock tables appear unwanted and in wrong places in agenda files,
   where current cursor is located!
** TODO Error in clock summary
   Face for *Total time* is smaller, leading to bad spacing of table


Regards,

Jurgen

Hi Jurgen,

thanks for the report.

Yes, I missed that, thanks a lot!  Fixed now.

Hmmm, not really fixed, but worked around for now.

Another severe bug, fixed, thanks.

That is in your setup, the default bold face should not be
wider than the normal face.
