Slackware 14.2: Emacs doesn't start when Internet is off
 
Emacs: 24.5.1 (i586-slackware-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.28).

When I try to launch Emacs without Internet connection --- it doesn't run. Neither in GUI or console mode. I renamed my .emacs file to 1.emacs, and it still doesn't work. So it has nothing to do with my settings.

After I plug in the Internet cable, it starts to work. What's up? How can I fix it?

Does it start with
Code:
emacs -nw -Q
?

Also, what is in /etc/hosts ?

Hi,

Try adding IPv6 for localhost to /etc/hosts:
Code:
::1                        localhost
::1                        [your full domain] [your hostname]
--
Best regards,
Andrzej Telszewski

What do you mean "without internet connection"?

Do you have anything in your .emacs file (or newer equivalent)?

If you wait ~12 minutes (that's default TCP timeout, BTW), does it come up?

When the Internet cable is unplugged, it doesn't start. When I plug in the cable, it starts.

Yes, I have. I renamed the file to 1.emacs to exclude any corruptions, and it still didn't work.

Yes, it starts in around 10 minutes. Why is it trying to access the Internet?

maybe you have to add
Code:
127.0.0.1  host.does.not.exist
to /etc/hosts, as explained here?

jmccue 10-25-2016 05:22 PM
I saw you renamed ~/.emacs with no luck. Also try renaming Directory ~/.emacs.d

Another thing to check, did you copy any files to /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp ?

That's because it tries to report back to gnu.org and fails.

Try Vim instead.

:D

Is that true? Why?

Personally, I've never used Emacs. Never had the need. It has been installed on my computer for a very long time though.

He's trying to see if your leg comes off if he pulls hard enough.

Does eth0 think that it is still connected after you unplug the cable? As in, it still has an IP address?
