28.1; Tramp prompting for password even with an existing .authinfo.gpg file

This is not happening up to Emacs-28.1, this starts happening recently

from emacs-29+.

It asks also to save password in authinfo file when entering password.

Really annoying.

Thanks.

Hi Thierry,

Do you use a "sudo" connection? There has been a change in the .authinfo

entry, see etc/NEWS from master:

And the Tramp manual says

See the Tramp manual:

Best regards, Michael.

Hi Michael,

Michael Albinus <michael.albinus@gmx.de> writes:

Yes.

Ok thanks, will try soon to modify authsource file.

Is this compatible with previous emacs versions (at least 28)?

I use

default port sudo login root password xxxxx

since years now so I was surprized this stopped working suddently.

Ok thanks for this, I don't want anything writing in this file.

Thanks.

Unfortunately this is not working, thus it is crashing emacs.

Will try to investigate later.

Thanks.

Michael Albinus <michael.albinus@gmx.de> writes:

Ah! ok it is working now with my username and not "root" as before.

Anyway it should not crash emacs when an entry in authsource is wrong,

it should fail more gracefully.

To reproduce replace your username in authinfo by "root" and try /sudo::

PS: Emacs first freeze and then I have to "killall emacs" several times

to get it killed effectively.

Thierry Volpiatto <thievol@posteo.net> writes:

Hi Thierry,

It isn't compatible. But for a while, using both Rmacs 29 and Emacs <29,

you could keep both entries in .authinfo.gpg.

Best regards, Michael.

Thierry Volpiatto <thievol@posteo.net> writes:

Hi Thierry,

I cannot reproduce this. Could you pls check whether this happens also

for you running "emacs -q"? Yes, a small "-q"; with "-Q" Tramp ignores

the auth-source library.

Best regards, Michael.

Michael Albinus <michael.albinus@gmx.de> writes:

I can't reproduce the crash anymore, don't know what I did yesterday to

crash emacs, will let you know if it happen again.

Thanks.

Michael Albinus <michael.albinus@gmx.de> writes:

Ok, so I will keep both entries, thanks.

Hi Thierry,

Yes, pls do. Perhaps it would be worth a new bug report then.

Closing *this* bug.

Best regards, Michael.
