Tramp crazy, starts automatically on startup

Tramp crazy, starts automatically on startup

[Emanuel Berg]

Tramp has gone crazy, it starts automatically on startup!

Here is some other poor soul having the same issue, what he
uses tho and how he solves, that doesn't ring a bell.

"Very annoying" no kidding, what IS this???

  Tramp tries to connect to remote hosts on emacs startup

  This happens when you used ido to browse directories on
  a remote host and it saved them in `ido-dir-file-cache`.
  Ido will then save this cache to
  `ido-save-directory-list-file` which is loaded when emacs
  starts up. You can use the following code to clean the cache
  of tramp entries when emacs quits:

  (defun ido-remove-tramp-from-cache nil
    "Remove any TRAMP entries from `ido-dir-file-cache'.
    This stops tramp from trying to connect to remote hosts on emacs startup,
    which can be very annoying."
    (interactive)
    (setq ido-dir-file-cache
          (cl-remove-if
           (lambda (x)
             (string-match "/\\(rsh\\|ssh\\|telnet\\|su\\|sudo\\|sshx\\|krlogin\\|ksu\\|rcp\\|scp\\|rsync\\|scpx\\|fcp\\|nc\\|ftp\\|smb\\|adb\\):" (car x)))
           ido-dir-file-cache)))
  ;; redefine `ido-kill-emacs-hook' so that cache is cleaned before being saved
  (defun ido-kill-emacs-hook ()
    (ido-remove-tramp-from-cache)
    (ido-save-history))

Could you pls explain why "Tramp has gone crazy"? It simply does its
job, as indicated by saved history files.

Does it still "go crazy" when you start "emacs -Q"? If not, pls blame
somebody else.

Best regards, Michael.

How do I disable this feature?

It says use `tramp-cleanup-this-connection', however the next
time I start Emacs the same thing happens again?

Don't focus on Tramp. Focus on whatever is invoking Tramp in
the first place (it was a session-y thing, as far as I remember?).
The "cleanup connection" thing is just a symptom way downstream of
the cause.

It would seem so (because it didn't work to clean it up if
that's what happened) but then it just makes it more
confusing, why does it say so?

Anyway it stopped! I don't know why.

tramp-cleanup-this-connection is just for the running Emacs session. If
you leave Emacs, and a package saves some information to activate Tramp
this way or another, Tramp will be invoked again, when you start Emacs.

I would look in the saved init files for the different packages for a
remote file name syntax.

Best regards, Michael.

Something like "~/.emacs.d/recentf", if you use recentf. Or similar
files from other packages.

Best regards, Michael.
