Subject: Check for new news g hangs gnus
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2015 10:04:35 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y4nvz2f0.fsf@engels.histomat.net> (raw)

I installed gnus with ELPA for emacs 24. It worked properly on old
hardware, but a similar setup on new hardware hangs when I check for new
news by typing "g". What is different is the overall setup.

I have a key in fluxbox that calls ~/scripts/emacs-gnus executable
script. This script has this line pointing to its init file:

   emacs -q -l /home/haines/.emacs.d/elisp/gnus.el

The basic change from the working system was to relocate ~/.emacs-gnus
to ~/.emacs.d/elisp/emacs-gnus. Other changes I do not believe are
relevant.

When the window comes up to display the subscribed news groups and the
number of new messagse in them, the menu bar provides such things as
Gnus, Groups, Group. In the first is the command g to check for new
news. In my current setup, when I type g, it causes gnus to hang.
