SUPER EDIT: Since this thread started, I realized that it's probably going to be a long-term commitment of mine. As such, I'll be clearing up certain sections to read in a more informative manner, to make it easier to follow should anyone be looking through it.
{first post backstory...not useful} Due to my kids freaking out about spiders, we managed one night of camping before they were ready to call it quits. Luckily, Bacon has cheered me up by releasing sauce64. So, I'm dedicating today to making it shine without changing anything that makes it special (I'm keeping twm, even if it isn't even close to my favorite stacker....).
Step 1. Fresh install...already getting some practice with emacs.
So, the .tmux.conf located in the user's directory on my sauce install is screwed up (I mean, I only copy & pasted my config exactly....so it's probably something that I did wrong.) Still, we get a chance to fix all of the extra "?" marks with emacs outside of X, so our tmux session won't be screwed up and spam errors all into the root window.
First, log in as your user (if this dumps you into a tmux session with a bunch of gibberish...use C^a % to open a second frame) and:
Code: Select all
emacs -nw ~/.tmux.conf
Step2. Saving our actually fixed file.
After we've made our changes. Use C^x + C^s to save the changes, and then C^x + C^c to close emacs. This should drop up back out to your tmux session or terminal. If you want to kill a tmux frame, you can simply type "exit" to remove that partiuclar session. (You can also use "C^a \" to kill them, per the tmux config.) I'd suggest performing a "killall tmux" just to make sure there aren't any invisible sessions open because tmux won't re-sauce (NEW TERM) the config until all sessions are exited. If all goes right, in a new tmux session...the garbage should be gone.
Step 3. Open a file, the more fun way:
Let's check out our .emacs file to see what Bacon put in there. From a terminal, enter in JUST
Code: Select all
emacs -nw
Oh, cool. Bacon included the basic .emacs with Marmalade repo added (really good idea. It's like he had an emacs guru passing along brilliance to him. Speaking of, WHERE IS SLARTIE?) Next, let's set it up to manage packages for us.
