Hello,
I'm have a fresh 32-bit Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) install. I obtained both the 2009-01-03 and 2009-01-04 slime tarfile / cvs snapshot. Both of them exhibit the same issue. With both SBCL and CMUCL, the slime repl does not appear. The inferior lisp window is displayed. The 'connected' message, along with its jaunty colloquial appendage, shows in the mini-buffer. Sometimes I would get a swank disconnected (end of file) message on a socket, other times it appeared as if there were no error-related messages at all.
The REPL moved to a contrib. Instead of (slime-setup), place (slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-asdf)) into your ~/.emacs.
-T.
