Re: Tramp hangs setting up remote shell prompt.

[David Keegan]

Michael,

Thanks for your help. I think your analysis is correct. I
was able to get it working with the following override in my
emacs profile. I'll try your suggestion of upgrading to
2.1.18.

What determines whether the shell is "echoing" or not?
There's no stty in my profiles.

(defun tramp-action-succeed (proc vec)
 "This override disables echo on the remote host to avoid
  a hang looking for the prompt."  
 (tramp-message vec 3 "Sending stty -echo...")
 (tramp-send-string vec "stty -echo")

 ; Wait for no echo.
 (sleep-for 1)
 (throw 'tramp-action 'ok))

Regards,
David.
