I am seeing the following error from Tramp:
tramp-error: ‘echo \"`uname -sr`\"’ does not return a valid Lisp expression: ‘"MSYS_NT-10.0-22631 3.4.10-87d57229.x86_64" [17;120H’
Background:
I have a "Windows 11 Home Edition" remote machine, and am seeking to connect to that machine from emacs run on macOS.
In emacs, I am doing:
(find-file "/ssh:WINUSERNAME@WIN11HOME:WINPATH")with suitable values for WINUSERNAME, WIN11HOME, WINPATH.
I can ssh to WIN11HOME (it is running the OpenSSH Server), using keys stored locally in my macOS.
By default, the shell produced for the ssh to windows is a PowerShell, which I can well understand is not what Tramp expects; Tramp was producing an error "Couldn't find remote shell prompt for /bin/sh".
To address, now I detect the tramp attach on the Windows side and, in the Tramp case, move to shell "sh" for the Windows prompt.
Thereafter, tramp produces the "uname/lisp" error above.
FYI, from the windows side:
sh-5.2$ uname -sr
MSYS_NT-10.0-22631 3.4.10-87d57229.x86_64
Thanks in advance.
