Hi Bastien I think that I can describe the problem a bit better now. It is not related to the silent option but occurs whenever ":results value".
Emacs freezes due to the following line in org-babel-comint-eval-invisibly-and-wait-for-file (while (not (file-exists-p file)) (sit-for (or period 0.25))) it seems that R cannot transfer the file and hence this is an endless loop. it may be possible to fix this using tramp, e.g. by setting the default-directory in the buffer which runs the remote-session, or by adding a more thorough check of whether the R-session is remote. to this end let me note that there are at least two ways to start a remote R session in emacs: 1) M-x shell 2) M-x ssh via ssh.el (not part of emacs) Cheers Thomas Bastien <b...@gnu.org> writes: > Hi Thomas, > > Thomas Alexander Gerds <t...@biostat.ku.dk> writes: > >> Using the silent option together with a remote R session block >> (started via ssh.el and ess-remote), like this: >> #+BEGIN_SRC R :results silent :exports results :session *ssh gauss* >> :cache yes a=1 1 #+END_SRC >> produces: >> ,---- >> | > > > [1] 1 Warning message: >> | In file.rename(tfile, transfer.file) : cannot rename file >> | /tmp/RtmpQwlyCf/file7c9b78867f6c' to >> | /tmp/babel-4977UIT/R-4977ucf', reason 'No such file or directory' >> | > >> `---- >> and emacs freezes.
