I gave up on Interix quite a while ago but I can confirm a similar issue, running NTEmacs but using ssh and friends built using MinGW/MSYS. I was never able to get interactive ssh to work correctly in an Emacs shell window (using MSYS bash as the command shell) -- it hung as AKF_SDS described. I did get bash to work fairly smoothly for almost everything else (including correct file name completion); I can offer a few hints on that subject if anyone is interested.

You are talking to Emacs users on Windows, but both your problem and the data you present are from Unix. You are unlikely to find here anyone who could interpret that data, let alone correlate it with something that is caused by Emacs on Windows. You may have better luck attaching a debugger to ssh when it hangs and finding out the reason why it hangs. Then, perhaps some ssh developer could tell you what might be the possible reason(s) for that. Only then, maybe, it would be possible to see how all this is related to Emacs and/or Windows. Sorry. </pre> Eli Zaretskii 2013-05-20T17:27:12 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5764 <pre>Be forewarned, this is a bit complex... I'm running Emacs v23.1 on Windows XP. Within Emacs I'm running Gentoo-Prefix via Interix v3.5. With this setup ssh hangs without output. I ran ssh with truss and received the output below. What stuck out to me was the repetition of: close(/some number/) close failed: errno 9, Bad file descriptor No other utilities have this issue. Has anyone seen this bug before?

I suggested a workaround for your VNC problem. The fact that the workaround uses Emacs-specific features should not be a problem as long as the solution should only work in Emacs. The section of the manual to which I pointed describes how to use special Windows keys as substitutes for Control and Alt within Emacs. If VNC does pass these special keys, then using the techniques described in that section of the manual, specifically, customizing w32-lwindow-modifier, w32-rwindow-modifier, and w32-apps-modifier, might be the solution you are looking for. I think they do know a solution. I suggest to try it. </pre> Eli Zaretskii 2013-05-15T07:09:31 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5762 <pre> The original proposal (read the Windows Keyboard section of the manual) did not seem to apply. This is not a Windows problem. Windows happily passes C-A-\ on to either a local emacs or to VNC. RealVNC worked fine. The problem is that UltraVNC does not pass the key chord on from its client to the Linux VNC server. I.e., this is not a Windows or emacs problem. I just thought that emacs users might know a solution. </pre> Ken Goldman 2013-05-14T23:15:02 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5761 <pre> So you do need an Emacs solution?

C-A-\ is indent-region C-A-q is c-indent-exp ... heavily used as I write C code. </pre> Ken Goldman 2013-05-13T19:09:29 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5759 <pre>Eli Zaretskii wrote That worked!

When I cd to C:\Windows\System32 in Emacs, I'm actually in SysWOW64. It lists the SysWOW64 files. Process Explorer confirms it. The command line invoking cmd.exe is C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe, but the path is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe. I downloaded the latest Emacs and ran it with no custom configurations, and the problem remained, so the problem is not in my .emacs. Do you know why this is happening? I would have assumed this happened to everyone since the Windows docs say that 32-bit programs are automatically redirected by SysWoW to the SysWOW64 directory. Can I somehow tell Emacs to use the path to the 64-bit cmd.exe? Or is there a Windows setting for this? -- View this message in context: http://emacs.1067599.n5.nabble.com/Not-all-files-displayed-in-directory-listing-tp284073p285749.html Sent from the Emacs - Windows - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. </pre> bsamek 2013-05-11T16:55:47 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5754 <pre> Please show a complete recipe, starting with "emacs -Q", to reproduce the problem. It is hard to help you without knowing what are you trying to do, exactly. </pre> Eli Zaretskii 2013-05-10T06:46:00 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5753 <pre>Hi guys After an upgrade to Windows 7 Ctrl-C Ctrl-C has stopped working for me within shells i.e. it doesn't kill the running process. Instead it just prints C-c C-c to the buffer. I've tried: * various versions of emacs * shell, eshell, term, ansi-term * calling cygwin bash as opposed to the normal Windows cmd.exe * adding the CYGWIN=tty env variable But no beans. I simply cannot kill my long running processes. Any ideas for this as it's killing my productivity! Thanks!

But if that's not what you want, then why do you need C-A-\ etc.? </pre> Eli Zaretskii 2013-05-07T16:11:54 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5751 <pre> I wasn't clear. This is not an internal emacs problem. However, I thought that emacs users would be likely to know the answer. After all, what other application needs C-A-\. I'm running Windows 7, connecting to a Linux platform through UltraVNC. Emacs is running on the Linux platform. UltraVNC is not passing most C-A chords. This chords work locally on Windows 7 and locally on Linux. They work Windows to Linux using RealVNC, but I'm forced to use UltraVNC. </pre> Ken Goldman 2013-05-07T15:01:24 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5750 <pre> Try remapping Meta to one of the other special keys. The information is in the node "Windows Keyboard" in the Emacs user manual. </pre> Eli Zaretskii 2013-05-06T20:14:05 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5749 <pre>(Sending to an emacs group, because who else tries to do this) I'm running UltraVNC from Windows 7 to Linux. UltraVNC does not pass chords like C-A-q and C-A-\. Any work around? </pre> Ken Goldman 2013-05-06T20:09:16 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5748 <pre>I'm relatively new to emacs, and wanted to start with my init.el empty, so that I could modify it gradually and learn how the changes affect the behavior of emacs. With that in mind, my init.el is still pretty lean and basic. I also use the same init.el file between my Windows machines and my Macbook Pro. I'm using Emacs 23.3 on both Windows &amp; Mac I have not modified the behavior of dired, but it behaves a little differently for each OS. On the Mac, dired opens up two vertical windows, on Windows it opens up two horizontal windows. While that isn't significantly different, It makes me wonder what other gotchas are waiting to cause me problems learning to use Emacs. So- to start, I'd like to modify init.el so that dired opens vertical windows for both machines. I already have code in my init.el to execute Windows specific and Mac specific changes (f needed) 1. How do I modify dired's behavior so that vertical windows are always opened? 2. How do I modify dired so that it doesn't keep switching from one window to the other when I click on a directory name? There's no reason why dired doesn't re-use the same window. With that in mind If I want to go back to the previous selection, how would I do this? Thanks </pre> Tony Cappellini 2013-04-28T04:07:56 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5747 <pre>Hi Brian, I think Eli is right. As always. One of your System32 directories probably is SysWOW64 in disguise. Is the program you compare with, a 32-bit one agnostic to your 64-bits Windows? Then it shows C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ as C:\Windows\System32\ (check http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa384187.aspx). Groente, Michel. </pre> Michel de Ruiter 2013-04-22T08:23:24 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.windows/5746 <pre> It is normal that 'shell-file-name' is set to cmdproxy. This happens on my machine as well, and yet I don't see your problem. Can you find out which cmd.exe is being run by cmdproxy.exe? You can use some utility like Process Explorer (from SysInternals) to display the process tree, so that you could see which shell is running as the child process of cmdproxy.exe, and what is its full path. See README.W32 in the distribution. But that doesn't tell much. And I don't think it's your problem, at least not directly: cmdproxy.exe simply invokes cmd.exe in this case. But it might be the wrong cmd.exe for some reason. </pre> Eli Zaretskii 2013-04-21T17:32:35 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.emacs.windows
