@ag: I did

git clone  ~/.emacs.d

ag16:04:30

@reefersleep: do git clone -b develop … develop branch is quite stable

ag16:04:00

and ironically has less issues (most of the time) because they get fixed very fast

reefersleep16:04:10

@ag: cheers, I will try that simple_smile

ag16:04:17

drawback? you lose ability to update spacemacs from within spacemacs. you’d have to do git pull manually

reefersleep16:04:34

as long as it's as simple as that simple_smile

ag16:04:34

but… Sylvain just pushed an update this morning, so master currently is exactly as develop branch

reefersleep16:04:03

I'll try stable once more

ag16:04:58

@reefersleep: and one more thing: the very first time when you start emacs after installing spacemacs, it takes time to get all the packages, some packages will not be able to continue their installation and you may have quit emacs and answer y to any questions that pop-up

ag16:04:42

that’s fine

ag16:04:54

it should work normally after that

reefersleep16:04:00

I've not experienced popups upon exiting emacs after the first run - maybe it has run to the very end each time, succesfully

reefersleep16:04:09

Or maybe not simple_smile

reefersleep16:04:14

But not popups, at least.

ag16:04:43

it depends of the layers you include in ~/.spacemacs file

reefersleep16:04:58

I think I've only got the Clojure layer

reefersleep16:04:22

But that's only activated once I read a .cljs/.clj/.cljc file, as I understand it

reefersleep16:04:33

Lazily activated layers simple_smile

ag16:04:15

yes, but all related packages e.g. cider, clj-refactor need to be downloaded and installed at the first time you start emacs after clojure layer added to .spacemacs

reefersleep16:04:49

Hm, get the same result on 'master' currently, and what you're saying gives me a clue - I think I've installed spacemacs on an empty .spacemacs each of my previous times

reefersleep16:04:52

But now I'm not

reefersleep16:04:55

I'll just try that

ag16:04:36

whenever something goes really, really wrong you don’t have to delete ~/.emacs.d folder and reclone it again, you just have to quit emacs do rm -rf .cache elpa and restart emacs

reefersleep16:04:07

cheers, that'll take some time off the process simple_smile

ag16:04:22

good luck

reefersleep16:04:03

Thank you for your help!

bja16:04:27

is there a way to convince company-mode to fallback to in-buffer completion targets if the cider nrepl op doesn't return anything?

bja16:04:15

before I connect to nrepl, completion in buffer works fine. Once I jack-in, I seem to lose buffer-based completion. This is evident when I want to complete something that I haven't yet eval'd.

reefersleep16:04:33

@ag: I've tried all you suggested, but nothing helped.

ag16:04:07

@reefersleep: what do you see?

ag16:04:54

what are the layers you’ve included in .spacemacs ?

reefersleep16:04:45

The last thing I tried was to use the develop branch. In this case, as it has been in every failed effort so far, I've had to C-g once all packages had been downloaded, then quit and restart Emacs - only to have it stop loading 1/3rd through and halt completely, with C-g as the only action moving me forwards.

reefersleep16:04:52

None right now, it's clean

reefersleep16:04:10

I mv'd my personal .spacemacs to .spacemacs.bak

ag16:04:45

why would you press C-g to begin with?

reefersleep16:04:13

Because nothing was happening. Nothing was downloading, nothing was installing. And it was frozen - couldn't call up the SPC menu or anything.

ag16:04:25

what version of Emacs you’re running, what OS?

reefersleep16:04:28

Wasn't like that the first few times around though

reefersleep16:04:37

Ubuntu LTS 14-something

reefersleep16:04:01

don't know the emacs.

which emacs
?

ag16:04:51

it’s been awhile since the last time I used emacs on ubuntu

ag16:04:18

you may have to apt-get install gnutools or something. I dunno 😞

ag16:04:30

maybe version of Emacs too old. I think you need at least 24 something. try running emacsclient —version

reefersleep16:04:57

emacsclient 24.5

reefersleep16:04:19

how do you yank in vanilla emacs?

reefersleep16:04:11

This is GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.8) of 2016-04-1

ag16:04:03

rrrrhgh… ask in Spacemacs gitter channel. we have a ton of people running it in Ubuntu
