This issue seems to be present in Jaunty version of emacs-snapshot. Opening new file through C-X f /sudo::/somefile hangs after inputting password for sudo with message "Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell".
Tried to apply workaround proposed by Phil Sung with following steps, but it didn't work: $ cd /usr/share/emacs/23.0.91/lisp/net $ sudo gunzip tramp.el.gz Changed tramp-remote-sh for sudo command to "/bin/bash --norc" and then byte-compiled it with: $ sudo emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile tramp.el -- Tramp cannot access files via sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181399 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
