I was editing a couple of buffers through the scp transport. Link died, so the ssh process terminated. I just wanted to kill the buffers. Everything I do seems to fail.. Tramp: Opening connection nil for remote_host using scp...failed File error: Couldn't find command to check if file exists tramp-error: Couldn't find command to check if file exists Tramp: Opening connection nil for remote_host using scp...failed Tramp: Opening connection nil for remote_host using scp...failed Tramp: Opening connection nil for remote_host using scp...failed Tramp: Opening connection nil for remote_host using scp...failed Tramp: ‘getconf PATH’ not successful, using default value "/bin:/usr/bin". Tramp: Opening connection nil for remote_host using scp...failed File error: Couldn't find command to check if file exists tramp-error: Couldn't find command to check if file exists I tried first tramp-cleanup-this-connection, then all-connections, however all I got is to get even more stuck. M-x doesn't even bring the minibuffer prompt anymore when run within the stuck buffer. I could use C-x C-b to get into a buffer list, however that also only contains a single line: "ssh: could not connect to ...". Fortunately, from there M-x works. But I still cannot terminate those buffers.
