Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Accessing a remote folder via fish:// works fine in 4.1.86 (using unofficial Debian packages from kde42.debian.net version 4:4.1.86+svn902162-0r1), however using the "Network Folder Wizard" does not. How to reproduce: 1) In Dolphin, click on Network in Places 2) Double click "Add Network Folder" 3) Select ssh 4) Enter any (valid) info (as simple as your user_name@localhost) => Error "Unable to connect to server. Check your settings and try again." I double-checked for typos in the settings, but it's all exactly the same data that works fine when typed into the address bar using fish:// directly. One more minor thing: The default encoding in the wizard is "Arabic (ISO 8859-6)". Most probably something like UTF-8 would be a better choice for most users.
Thanks for the report, but I could not reproduce the issue (I used also a user from the localhost). Can somebody else reproduce this issue?
Thanks for your reply. I just gave it another try, just to make it wasn't fixed by a reboot or something. I can still reproduce it 100%. Further, I had a look at ~/.xsession-errors and found these two lines: kdeinit4: preparing to launch kioslave: ####### CRASH ###### protocol = fish pid = 10018 signal = 29 So it seems to be a crash of kio_fish. I tried to run kio_fish from the command line and can reproduce the error in about 50% of the cases: georg@vaio:~$ kioclient exec fish://georg@localhost/home/georg <unknown program name>(10457)/ ClientApp::doIt: Creating ClientApp kioclient(10457) ClientApp::kde_open: KUrl("fish://georg@localhost/home/georg") kioclient(10457) KSharedUiServerProxy::KSharedUiServerProxy: kuiserver registered kioclient(10457)/kio (KRun): KRun(0x9949470) ERROR 143 "The process for the fish://localhost protocol died unexpectedly." georg@vaio:~$ kioclient exec fish://georg@localhost/home/georg <unknown program name>(10469)/ ClientApp::doIt: Creating ClientApp kioclient(10469) ClientApp::kde_open: KUrl("fish://georg@localhost/home/georg") kioclient(10469) KSharedUiServerProxy::KSharedUiServerProxy: kuiserver registered georg@vaio:~$ kioclient exec fish://georg@localhost/home/georg <unknown program name>(10493)/ ClientApp::doIt: Creating ClientApp kioclient(10493) ClientApp::kde_open: KUrl("fish://georg@localhost/home/georg") kioclient(10493) KSharedUiServerProxy::KSharedUiServerProxy: kuiserver registered georg@vaio:~$ kioclient exec fish://georg@localhost/home/georg <unknown program name>(10513)/ ClientApp::doIt: Creating ClientApp kioclient(10513) ClientApp::kde_open: KUrl("fish://georg@localhost/home/georg") kioclient(10513) KSharedUiServerProxy::KSharedUiServerProxy: kuiserver registered kioclient(10513)/kio (KRun): KRun(0x8e4d0f0) ERROR 143 "The process for the fish://localhost protocol died unexpectedly." Note how I get ERROR 143 in the first and in the fourth run, while the second and third run are OK. Maybe a timing problem?
I've changed the component to kio, as you say this looks like a fish protocol issue.
Maybe this is a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145123 .
Works as of 4.2.0. Thanks.
