[Trisquel-users] Error message when trying to launch GNU Emacs 24 (Terminal)
When I installed the Emacs program I got two new icons in the "start menu"; The GNU Emacs 24 (GUI) and the GNU Emacs 24 (Terminal). Now the GUI one works fine, but when trying to launch the Terminal one I get this error message: Could not launch 'GNU Emacs 24 (Terminal)' Failed to execute child process "xterm" (no such file or directory"

You can try install xterm, or you can try run whatever terminal first and then run "emacs -nw" in it.

> Failed to execute child process "xterm" (no such file or directory" The desktop file is trying to launch it in xterm for some reason. Either install xterm $ sudo apt install xterm or open your preferred terminal emulator and launch Emacs from there. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
