Hi all: I am troubleshooting the "interesting" problem with Emacs Tramp I described here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2025-08/msg00061.html It is going to take a while, and I am short of time at the moment, not the best combination. Michael Albinus already suggested (setq tramp-verbose 10), but then many Tramp debug buffers are created, even for files from the history I haven't opened today, the log is too extensive, and it is full of internal information like server and user names which I would rather not publish. One of the issues I am facing is that Tramp is leaving behind temporary files on the remote server like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2025-08-10 11:02 tmp1eghjG You may not realise that Tramp is littering the disk that way, and when you (or some other sysadmin) realise about those orphaned files next month, such filenames make it hard to know exactly was caused the problem and what file it was related to. I suggest a change in Tramp's temporary file naming policy. For a file like: myfile.txt I suggest a temporary filename like: myfile.txt.EmacsTrampTmp1eghjG That way, you immediately know what is leaving the temporary file behind and what file it is related to.
