i have a gnu emacs icon in my menu now, but when i click on it, nothing happens
Sorry 'bout that, my bad. See http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=428430&postcount=7 and the answer in the first part. Do either of those, I'll fix the package soon, but if you don't wanna redownload, the solution there will work.
Or you can start it from the terminal by specifying the full path: /opt/emacs_23.1.1_shiroikuma_2009-12-15-001000_fremantle_armel/bin/emacs
and it'll run
one more thing, the emacs is not working for me, i have icon but cannot run it. i use xterminal $ emacs: it told me file not found.
also how can i uninstall the emacs?
thank you
It'll work, if you do the above step.
To uninstall, either go to the Package manager, and choose Uninstall, then Emacs, or from the terminal as root, i.e. after sudo gainroot: apt-get remove emacs
I think suggesting to anyone not intimately familiar with Linux (ie. already probing around with the x terminal) that they install a .deb directly is a bad idea.
I agree with what you're saying, if the .deb can do something potentially harmful, like yeah uninstall half the system. That's not the case here, though yeah, if you don't know GNU/Linux you could sometimes mess it up.
But nobody worry. Nuthin' bad with this one. Also, that's how you learn in GNU/Linux, overcoming problems, right.

If you need CJK input just go ahead, you can get it working, it's not that hard, and it might take a long time for Emacs to pop up in extras-testing, plus if you're not deeply familiar with GNU/Linux, messing with extras-testing is the same problem.
But it's rock solid in this package, and you can use CJK right now.
in my n900, i cannot type "~" symbol.... neither it on the keyboard, nor can't type in the virtual keyboard.
Edit a file on the PC, make it have the following text: (set-clipboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
Save it as .emacs (note the DOT in front of the `e').
Copy it to the N900.
In the terminal, move it to /home/user
Or just run emacs, then: C-x C-f .emacs Then type the text, then save with C-x C-s
Then restart Emacs, and you it'll work.
