Linux emacs 22.1 + tramp: 2.1.12: tramp completion does not work for me.

[Michal]

Hallo group members.

Did You experience any problems with it?

I do the following.

(tramp-get-completion-function "scp"):
((tramp-parse-connection-properties "scp") (tramp-parse-shosts "~/.ssh/known_hosts"))

(tramp-get-completion-function "ssh")
((tramp-parse-connection-properties "ssh") (tramp-parse-shosts "~/.ssh/known_hosts"))

$ grep 10.102.12.89 ~/.ssh/known_hosts
10.102.12.89 ssh-rsa AAAAB3........

now, when I put:
C-x C-f /ssh:10<TAB>  no completion is present....

or even
C-x C-f /s<TAB>
Click <mouse-2> on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type <S-Return> to select the completion near point.

Possible completions are:
sbin/				   sys/
selinux/			   srv/


...no ssh:, scp:... present...

My tramp configuration is:
(setq pp-tramp-dir "/emacs-packages-22/tramp-2.1.12")
(add-to-list 'load-path (concat pp-tramp-dir "/lisp"))

(let ((partial-completion-mode t))
  (require 'tramp))

(setq password-cache-expiry nil)

C-h v tramp-version:
tramp-version is a variable defined in `/emacs-packages-22/tramp-2.1.12/lisp/trampver.elc'.
Its value is "2.1.12"


Have You got idea what might be the reason?

I wonder if it can be the fact that I do not use built in tramp 2.0.55 from emacs 22.1.

Regards,
Michal

To have the completion on your remote host you have to be connected one
time first in this session of emacs on this host with tramp.
The same if you use /su::

Unfortunately, it doesn't work as described in the Tramp manual. Partial
completion must be enabled permanently:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/tramp/lisp")
(partial-completion-mode t)
(require 'tramp)

No, that's not related.

Thank You,
