View Full Version : [ubuntu] xemacs and DIRED on 8.10

Installed xemacs on Ubuntu 8.10. Works in principle, but

1. all new 'dired' buffers have some extra stuff appended of the form
//DIRED// 65 66 120 122 176 189 243 255 ...
//DIRED-OPTIONS// --quoting-style=literal

2. when files are added/modified, the 'dired' buffer gets littered
with extra text like
-rw-r--r-- 1 wfjm wfjm 11839 2009-01-18 16:37 new.txt//DIRED// 52 72
//DIRED-OPTIONS// --quoting-style=literal
//DIRED-OPTIONS// --quoting-style=literal

emacs works fine, no such effect. Any idea what is broken here ?
Thanks in advance for any hints.

Set dired-use-ls-dired variable to nil.

One easy way is :

M-x customize-variable RET dired-use-ls-dired

click mouse middle button on "Toggle" (to put it to off) and then click middle button on "State" and select "Save for future sessions".
