I dont have the lucid version on the apt-get update system. So I removed what I had and installed everything over. This time I chose emacs in the search list and nothing more and it went on fine and now I have no errors.
Thanks for the tip. As things are good now.

Looks like it was a problem with repos because according to apt-get there is emacs-lucid in the Ceres repo:

$ apt-cache search emacs-lucid
emacs-lucid - GNU Emacs editor (with Lucid GUI support)

I suspect you just couldn't get necessary packages, especially the ones related to d-bus and GTK. I think that was the reason why you had a problem with GTK UI for Emacs.

I suggest to install emacs-lucid instead of emacs-gtk. It won't solve entire problem because you have to install some of additional packages but it will solve the problem in case of GNU Emacs because GTK based GUI is trash.

I installed emacs on ascii, which was a new installation and I see the following error when I use it. I am still able to use it. But wondering how to fix this error?

(emacs:15478): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
