Hi,
I'm having problems to remotely browse my guixsd testing host using
emacs dired via tramp, the exact error message I get is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
tramp-file-name-handler: Couldn’t find a proper ‘ls’ command
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I found this explanation on stackexchange
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6954479/emacs-tramp-doesnt-work/8363532#8363532
actually PS1 is \u@\h \w\$, it should be \u@\h:\w\$ to be "tramp
compatible"
please is there a way to declaratively customize user prompts in
config.scm or similar?
should that "unusual" prompt considered a bug to be fixed? [1]
best regards
Gio
[1] I'm going where it's defined and try to propose a patch in guix-devel
