emacs and desktop-read

emacs and desktop-read

[FCC]

Hello all,

Here is my problem:
I create a .emacs.desktop file where the buffers are from a shared FAT32
disk between WinXP and Debian. If I try to read this .emacs.desktop
using (desktop-read), it fails:
Desktop: 0 buffers restored, 3 failed to restore.
If I exit emacs and restart it, then I get:
Desktop: 1 buffer restored, 2 failed to restore.
Any ideas as to what to do?

Thanks in advance,

Read that file and notice the entries that are different from either 
the Windows XP or the debian perspective. The cure: either delete those 
(and make them never to appear again) or unify the view from both OS' 
to the fat disk.

Thanks for answering. On Debian, I create the ~/.emacs.desktop from
scratch by first opening the 3 files, all of which are located on the
shared FAT32 drive, and then using (desktop-save). But if I close all
these buffers, and do a (desktop-read), then it fails:
Desktop: 0 buffers restored, 3 failed to restore.
If I restart emacs, then the first file listed in the .emacs.desktop is
restored, the others are not:
Desktop: 1 buffer restored, 2 failed to restore.
I have not checked if this desktop file will work from WinXP. But even
if it works, it does not work from Debian, which I use more often than
WinXP.

Thanks,
