Description kde 2020-09-07 14:14:03 UTC

SUMMARY
When opening an SSH session using a key protected by a passphrase, this passphrase is no longer automatically fetched from KWallet but has to be entered manually.
The passphrase is stored under "ksshaskpass - Passwords" however.

OBSERVED RESULT
passphrase has to be entered manually

EXPECTED RESULT
passphrase should be fetched from KWallet automatically

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Fetching the passphrase automatically worked up until openSUSE Tumbleweed 20200904 which brought KDE Plasma 5.19.5

Comment 1 kde 2020-09-15 17:43:45 UTC

It was due to Tumbleweed's change from internal ssh binaries in /usr/lib/ to /usr/libexec/, changing that line in the ksshaskpass login script resolves it.

Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2020-09-15 17:59:27 UTC

Is there a downstream ticket? I face a similar issue after updating Tumbleweed (SFTP not working in Dolphin), but I am not sure if they are related.

Comment 3 kde 2020-09-15 18:59:27 UTC

Could be related to the /usr/libexec/ migration. I don't know if there's a downstream bug opened though.
