For some reason, emacs can't find my startup files (emacs configuration). When I look, I see very different startup behaviour for emacs when I'm running in devshell vs. my normal shell (bash). Inside the devshell it seems to be totally lost and I get messages like "User gthomas has no home directory". Indeed when running in the devshell, I can see that emacs is trying to access paths like this: /usr/share/emacs/23.2/site-lisp/~gthomas/.emacs.elc What's even more odd is that emacs does manage to find _some_ of the correct files such as /home/gthomas/.emacs.d/auto-save /home/gthomas/.emacs.d/auto-save-list Any idea why the confusion? I'd really like to have emacs behave properly within devshell :-) I can only imagine what else might be "weird" under the covers while using devshell...
