HOWTO Disable that annoying Emacs Splashscreen
The new emacs included with OpenSuSE 10.3 includes a “feature” that displays this irritating little splash screen when you’re trying to edit a file. It’s almost irritating enough to switch to vi.Fortunately, there’s an easy way to disable it. Create or edit the file called .emacs in your home directory:
$ vi ~/.emacs
and add the following line:
(setq inhibit-splash-screen t)
and voila, it’s gone for good.

I was almost starting to like 10.3.
Thank you for the fix!

Thanks for the clear fix for disabling the emacs splash screen. I think it does not matter where I paste the fix, however, it seems to be a good idea to me to put it into the “Custum settings” which should of course read “Custom settings” :-). Last time I had to fix that was on SUSE 5x…

So THIS is how I get rid of that “Type C-l to begin…” crap! I thought I was going to go insane! what a frakken misfeature. Thank you for that. What’s more, Google came up with only two pages on the literal string; hopefully now, it’ll see this one as well!!

Thank you for that! I was struggling with the –no-splash option but that is working better.

Glad I found this.
It’s not enough that there’s this stupid splash screen, but when running emacs with a filename under X in FC9, it always causes the window to be split in half with the file you’re editing on the top, and the splash screen on the bottom. So you have to unsplit the window every time to get rid of it.
Who the fsck thought that would be a smart feature to add?!
