Synchronize two Emacs Frame statuses - emacs

I usually work on two Emacs Frames, one for coding with gruvbox theme and a second one for org mode under the leuven themes.
The problem is that the two are not synchronized very well.
For example, the clocked todos in org's Emacs will not be displayed on the coding Emacs?
Is it possible to solve the problem?

conda installed emacs suddenly not working after upgrading ubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04.1 LTS

I just recently upgraded to ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (from ubuntu 20.04 LTS). Before, my conda environment for emacs worked fantastically.
My conda environment I created - and retried creating using:
conda create --name emacs
conda activate emacs
conda install -c conda-forge emacs
emacs &
Output:
emacs: symbol lookup error: emacs: undefined symbol: malloc_get_state, version GLIBC_2.2.5
And emacs doesn't even start.
Does somebody know what is going on?
"Solution":
My "Solution" so far was just to install emacs globally and use it.
Oh, I see in the GLIBC 2.25
https://elixir.bootlin.com/glibc/glibc-2.25/source/NEWS
* The malloc_get_state and malloc_set_state functions have been removed.
Already-existing binaries that dynamically link to these functions will
get a hidden implementation in which malloc_get_state is a stub. As far
as we know, these functions are used only by GNU Emacs and this change
will not adversely affect already-built Emacs executables. Any undumped
Emacs executables, which normally exist only during an Emacs build, should
be rebuilt by re-running “./configure; make” in the Emacs build tree.

How to access the kernel menuconfig in a Yocto project using bitbake?

I am currently trying to build a very simple system using Yocto. For this, I would like to change the kernel config, so I run:
bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel
However, I can't get this to open the kernel menuconfig.
When using xterm or rvxt for OE_TERMINAL, a terminal opens very shortly and clos
Using tmux yields nothing
Using screen yields:
Trying to run: screen -r devshell_11581
There is no screen to be resumed matching devshell_11581.
With no way I can actually access the kernel menuconfig. Also I could not find any logs.
What do I need to do to make this work?
As mentionned in the official Yocto reference manual here.
Try to set OE_TERMINAL to "auto" to let bitbake detect your default terminal. Or when using one of:
gnome
xfce
xvt
screen
konsole
make sure that it is installed on your system.
I think, from my little experience:
gnome (for gnome-terminal)
xfce (for xfce-terminal)
xvt
screen
konsole (for KDE environment)
Edit: Also make sure that you install all Yocto dependencies, specially libncurses-dev for menuconfig menu.

Emacs config keep changing settings from '(apostrophe) to (quote) and backwards using different OS

I'm using Emacs with the same config(spacemacs) on Debian & OSX computers.
This config is version controlled so each time I see the differences that git suggest to save depending on which OS I use this time.
here's an example:
- (quote
- ("~/gtd/inbox.org")))
+ '("~/gtd/inbox.org"))
Next time it is the opposite: ' => quote
There are about 4 elisp forms like that in the config.
Emacs versions: 27.1 & 26.1
OS: Linux/Debian & OSX
spacemacs config example similar to mine - package-selected-packages is among ~4 settings that keep changing back and forth.

How do I use emacs in IBM AIX6.1? (only emacsclient is available, not server)

I have an AIX6.1 system, with emacs installed from the rpm package emacs-24.5-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm downloaded from IBM.
However, this only installs emacsclient on the machine, and I could not figure how to start the server (daemon) on this machine, since only emacsclient is available:
rpm -ql emacs-24.5-1
...
/usr/bin/emacsclient
/usr/bin/etags
/usr/bin/gctags
/usr/lib/emacs
So any idea on how to use emacs on AIX?
The page you have linked to lists the following:
emacs-nox-24.5 The Emacs text editor without support for the X Window System.
emacs-X11-24.5 The Emacs text editor for the X Window System.
emacs-24.5 The libraries needed to run the GNU Emacs text editor.
I believe you will need to install emacs-24.5 and at least one of the other two.
i.e. the first two packages provide variants of the main Emacs executable, and the third provides everything else.

Getting the org-mode manual in emacs

How can I get access to the org-mode manual from within emacs?
I've seen this suggested:
C-h i m Org Mode RET
But the org-mode manual isn't available that way in emacs 24.3.1. Is there a melpa package or something similar I can install to get the org-manual in emacs info mode?
If you are on Ubuntu, Debian or a related distributions, do:
apt-get install emacs24-common-non-dfsg
While the Org Mode manual is part of the standard Emacs distributions, Debian, Ubuntu and related distributions do not include it in their Emacs packages, as their understanding of truly free software is subtly different from the FSF's. You'll need to install it separately.
In Section
"How do I update the info manual pages to the latest org-mode version?" of http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html there is a hint where you find the texi-files.
You can build the info manual pages from these ones.
