问题描述
安装Ubuntu(13.10)之后，我在软件中心找到了两个版本的Emacs 24：
-
GNU Emacs 24(emacs24)
-
GNU Emacs 24(emacs24-透明)
我不了解它们之间的区别以及安装哪个版本更好。我将emacs与scheme，clips和其他功能语言一起使用。我更喜欢哪个版本？
最佳方案
-
不带后缀的
emacs是Emacs的GTK +版本 -
带
-nox后缀的emacs-nox是不支持X服务器的emacs版本。 -
后缀为
-lucid的emacs-lucid包括具有清晰用户界面的Emacs。
现在的问题是“什么是清醒接口？”当然，在这种情况下，包装说明没有帮助。幸运的是，我发现了一个bug report试图解决该问题：
But what is a Lucid user interface? Presumably it means “the user interface offered by emacs23-lucid”, which is still unhelpful.
The changelog.Debian.gz tells me it is “an emacsVER-lucid package for those who still want the non-GTK+ version” — that is, the UI
(1) looks like old emacs
(2) does not use GTK+— which seem like useful data for a person deciding whether to install it.
The reader is also curious about the relationship, if any, to Lucid, Inc.
进一步阅读：
Lucid, Inc’s “Lucid Emacs” was the fork that became XEmacs. So it would seem that emacs23-lucid is the version of GNU Emacs designed to look like nineties versions of XEmacs? See
http://www.gnu.org/s/libtool/manual/emacs/Lucid-Resources.html#Lucid-Resources
Installing them and comparing (on Squeeze) I see that emacs23’s splash screen says “This is GNU EMacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)” while emacs23-lucid’s has “(x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)”. It’s older and greyer-looking than the GTK+ version, but nowhere near as grey as xemacs21…
然后我们希望将其作为下一个描述(看起来更清晰)：
Maybe the description could be something like:
Description: The GNU Emacs editor (non-GTK+ GUI) GNU Emacs is the extensible self-documenting text editor. This package contains a version of Emacs with a graphical user interface based on the old XEmacs-style Lucid widget set.
您可以了解有关此”Lucid” here的更多信息。
次佳方案
如果您使用GTK Emacs，则会受到以下错误的困扰：https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715。基本上，如果您的X服务器崩溃了，那么Emacs也会崩溃，即使它是作为守护程序启动的也是如此。它几乎肯定不会被修复。这就是为什么我使用Lucid GUI。
