To: address@hidden Subject: tramp (2.0.41); Autocompletion fails with a cryptic error message. X-Reporter-Void-Vars-Found: tramp-out-of-band-prompt-regexp --text follows this line-- Enter your bug report in this message, including as much detail as you possibly can about the problem, what you did to cause it and what the local and remote machines are. If you can give a simple set of instructions to make this bug happen reliably, please include those. Thank you for helping kill bugs in TRAMP. Another useful thing to do is to put (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) in the ~/.emacs file and to repeat the bug. Then, include the contents of the *tramp/foo* buffer and the *debug tramp/foo* buffer in your bug report. --bug report follows this line-- I am trying to use TRAMP and have just installed it. However, trying to open a remote file gives the following error when trying to TAB-compete the filename. tramp: Found remote shell prompt. tramp: Initializing remote shell tramp: Waiting 30s for remote `/bin/sh' to come up... tramp: Setting up remote shell environment tramp: Determining coding system tramp: Waiting 30s for `HISTFILE=$HOME/.tramp_history; HISTSIZE=1; export HISTFILE; export HISTSIZE' tramp: Waiting 30s for `set +o vi +o emacs' tramp: Waiting 30s for `unset MAIL MAILCHECK MAILPATH' tramp: Waiting 30s for `unset CDPATH' tramp: Setting shell prompt tramp: Starting remote shell `/bin/bash -norc -noprofile' for tilde expansion... tramp: Setting remote shell prompt...done tramp: Finding command to check if file exists tramp: Finding a suitable `ls' command tramp: Checking remote `/bin/ls' command for `-n' option tramp: Testing remote command `/bin/ls' for -n...okay tramp-check-ls-commands: Invalid function: (macro . #[(variable value &rest body) "ÃÄÅÆDEÇ BÈ DC BBF‡" [variable body value if get (quote byte-obsolete-variable) quote progn let] 6 ("/home/stieltjes/rodgers/.emacs.lisp/tramp.elc" . 227547)]) tramp-handle-expand-file-name: Invalid function: (macro . #[(variable value &rest body) "ÃÄÅÆDEÇ BÈ DC BBF‡" [variable body value if get (quote byte-obsolete-variable) quote progn let] 6 ("/home/stieltjes/rodgers/.emacs.lisp/tramp.elc" . 227547)]) Quit Any help in fixing this would be much appreciated.
