The PC at “my” desk at my customer’s site just got migrated from WinXP to win7, and I have to re-install and re-configure a couple of packages, and now I have trouble re-adopting tramp.
Having to deal with tramp always brings Michael Albinus to my mind. I only met him during one week in 1988 (1989?), when I had only lived for a couple of months in Berlin. It was quite an enthusiastic time then, and we were so much younger then. Would he let me invite him on a couple of glasses of rather drinkable red wine in the future back home in Berlin?
Alright, back to the issue itself! Yes, after the Windows upgrade I certainly installed the newest available emacs (i.e. emacs package) and PuTTY (0.63) as well.
- http://stackoverflow.com/a/18764972/3119172 — I followed this advise on stackoverflow (please read and follow!!!) — I just summarize the steps briefly):
- byte-compile …/emacs/lisp/net/tramp-sh.el
- exit emacs
- remove ~/.emacs.d/tramp, i.e. the “tramp connection history” resp. the “tramp connection details cache“
- start emacs
and it seemed to find a proper “ls” command again.
I.e. I didn’t follow the other advise, demanding the installation of the newest tramp package.
Having solved the “ls” issue, I faced these messages:
Unable to use key file "…id_rsa.ppk" (unable to open file) Fatal: Received unexpected end-of-file from server
The windows registry had a couple of entries named “PublicKeyFile” pointing to an outdated location, where id_rsa.ppk had resided before. Changed all occurrences of that entry within the registry (subtree of PuTTY), and that issue was solved.
