Can’t use the su method, since I don’t really want to veer from the Ubuntu default too much. ssh is right out (for localhost? I ask you!). It shows a “Waiting for prompts from remote shell”. And that’s it, apparently. Or is it just that incredibly slow? Answer Just upgrade tramp to 2.1.18 (if you … Read more
I know that this is not directly programming related, but I’m stumped, and since Emacs is my main programming tool… I am trying to set up Tramp to connect to my testing host. I’m invoking it either using /ssh:host:.bashrc or /scp:host:.bashrc but both of these run into the same problem, sooner or later. They get … Read more

I’m attempting to use TRAMP to for editing files remotely with Emacs (v 26.1), but I’m finding that it’s nearly impossible to work without the connection constantly being re-established.

Issuing M-x shell results in exec: 24: /bin/zsh: not found message. Can I somehow tweak tramp to run bash? Answer Try M-x … Read more
I have an issue with tramp against a specific host when I use ssh-keys for authentication. It works fine when I don’t use ssh-key authentication, but I would like to prevent entering the password all the time. Don’t know if it’s related, but I use zsh for shell. I have followed both the tips of … Read more
I’m trying to set up my Emacs TRAMP to access remote files via ssh, and I would like to add some additional arguments to the ssh command that tramp uses for connecting. Is there a way to do this? I could do it by directly manipulating the variable tramp-methods, but that’s icky. Answer I came … Read more
