Help please. I seem to have hit a problem running Emacs under Linux on my $100 Lenovo Chromebook while connected to Google Drive. While running the standard Linux tar command in a shell buffer in Emacs I got this error: (file-error "Getting attributes" "Transport endpoint is not connected" "/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/Linux/") Immediately after that error I tried the Emacs command dired on the troublesome directory and got the following very similar error. Apparently Emacs is working very well for the most part, but having trouble with what looks like a broken connection to Google Drive. Google Drive seems still accessible, at least now, from my Chromebook, e.g., via the Chromebook command called Files. I suspect there was a break in my connection that might possibly be handled by Emacs by trying to make another connection to Google Drive as a part of the error handling. Maybe some waiting and retrying might be involved. (file-error "Reading directory" "Transport endpoint is not connected" "/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/Linux/working") Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Reading directory" "Transport endpoint is not connected" "/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/Linux/working") access-file("/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/Linux/working" "Reading directory") insert-directory("/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/Linux/working" "--dired -al" t nil) dired-insert-directory("/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/Linux/working" "-al" nil t t) dired-readin-insert() dired-readin() dired-internal-noselect("/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/Linux/working" nil) dired-noselect("/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/Linux/working" nil) dired("/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/Linux/working") gw() funcall-interactively(gw) call-interactively(gw record nil) command-execute(gw record) execute-extended-command(nil "gw" "gw") funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil "gw" "gw") call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil) command-execute(execute-extended-command) I installed my Emacs with the following command to the Linux Terminal program supporting the shell that was available after I used the very simple Linux installation instructions in the Settings command on my Lenovo Chromebook. sudo apt-get install emacs Thanks so much for any help you can give. I suspect I have been getting bitten by mysterious errors that are reminiscent of what I am now reporting. I am utterly clueless about what to do because it happens seemingly randomly. I doubt it is not a problem with tar or dired but rather something much deeper. Fortunately this time I got the above bug reports on errors from Emacs. I have been using Emacs constantly since about 1971 and just love it. I have met Richard Stallman several times and invited him to speak to the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Texas at Austin, hence my cc to rms.
