TRAMP doesn't work anymore

TRAMP doesn't work anymore

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi,

since a CVS update about one week ago TRAMP mode doesn't work
anymore. If I try `C-x C-f /su:' I get this new buffer:

,----[ *tramp/ssh su* ]
| ssh: su: Name or service not known
|
| Process *tramp/ssh su* exited abnormally with code 255
`----

If I try opening a remote file with `C-x C-f /user@' it echoes "Open
Directory: file or directory user@ not found." and I get this new
buffer:

,----[ *tramp/ssh ssh* ]
| ssh: ssh: Name or service not known
|
| Process *tramp/ssh ssh* getötet
`----

I didn't change any TRAMP configs and a week ago it all worked fine,
both local files with su-method as well as remote files via ssh.

I assume this could be caused by the discussion starting with
<87r73n5o5x.fsf@pacem.orebokech.com> on gmane.emacs.devel. I tried
putting an (require 'tramp) into my ~/.emacs, but that didn't help.

Any ideas what could cause the troubles?

Bye,
Tassilo

Unfortunately, you don't mention Tramp's and Emacs' version. Let's
assume you're using Tramp 2.1.6-pre and GNU Emacs 22.0.50 (the latter
one is obvious from your User-Agent header line).

Yes. The result of this discussion is a changed autoload behaviour for
Tramp. It was committed to Emacs CVS a week ago. I did wait for a week
in order to see whether there are unexpected side effects. Since
nobody did object, I've applied the changes into Tramp CVS yesterday.

In other words: it should work now ...

Sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards, Michael.

Ah, sorry. I use the TRAMP version bundled with GNU Emacs 22.0.50, last
CVS update 20 minutes ago.

,----[ C-h v tramp-version RET ]

Not for me, so I fiddled a bit arround in my ~/.emacs and found the
problem. I use `ido-mode' for both file and buffer behavior, and it
seems it doesn't work well with the new TRAMP behavior.

,----[ ~/.emacs ]
| (require 'ido)
| (ido-mode 'both)
`----

If I uncomment the ido-stuff I still get this buffer...

,----[ *tramp/ssh su* ]
| ssh: su: Name or service not known
| 
| Process *tramp/ssh su* exited abnormally with code 255
`----

...but I can continue to complete the path, and at some point TRAMP
starts loading. With ido enabled emacs doesn't accept new input after
the *tramp/ssh su* buffer appears, or better, the new input is directed
to this buffer.

One of the changes a week ago was that Tramp completion is enabled only
when you are in partial-completion-mode. I've extended it now for
ido-mode, too.

You need to perform at least "make bootfast" with CVS sources, because
autoload behaviour is affected.

Best regards, Michael.

Thanks, now it works again.

I think I have the same problem. Any fix?

It's fixed in CVS, but I don't know if the patch is applied to the
unicode2-branch you use as well.

Try to update and see if it works then.
