(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: unknown Version: 2.1Beta1 CVS:2001-01-13 Severity: grave Installed from: Sources When using kdessh with the command line: kdessh root@kestrel.psi.ca /opt/openv/netbackup/bin/xnb it does not actually launch the program. Reason is unclear. The command: ssh root@kestrel.psi.ca /opt/openv/netbackup/bin/xnb functions as expected (runs the XProgram xnb) cougar:ahrensj~$ kdessh --version Qt: 2.2.3 KDE: 2.0 KDE ssh: 2.0 cougar:ahrensj~$ kdessh root@kestrel.psi.ca /opt/openv/netbackup/bin/xnb kdesud: PING kdesud: Host set to root@kestrel.psi.ca (At his point the prompt for password for the keypair appears. After password is entered the following occurs) kdesu (kdelibs): WARNING: [stub.cpp:126] Unknown request: -->sh: kdesu_stub: not found<-- Killed by signal 15. kdesu (kdelibs): [process.cpp:279] Echo mode still on. kdesu (kdelibs): WARNING: [stub.cpp:126] Unknown request: -->sh: kdesu_stub: not found<-- kdesud: eof on fd 7 QMutex::~QMutex: destroy failure: Device or resource busy It appears that it is complaining because it cannot fild kdesu_stub but: cougar:ahrensj~/kde2$ which kdesu_stub /opt/kde/bin/kdesu_stub (submitted via bugs.kde.org)
This Bug should be CLOSED (Not a bug). Test results: Version: 3.1.4 Packager: kde-redhat.sf.net OS: Redhat 9 Kernel 2.4.20 It appears, from the above report, that Jason's remote server setup did not have an executable kdesu_stub found in the remote PATH (as initialized in the user's ~/.bash_profile). The correct procedure to correct this problem is to find if the remote server (kestrel.psi.ca in Jason's case) has at least kdelibs installed to support the remote invocation of kdesu_stub. Jason looked for kdesu_stub on the local machine; which is the right command, but he issued it on the wrong side of the connection. The display of the error is a little clearer in 3.1.4 than 2.1Beta1, but definitely needs more work to make it more "user friendly". But, that's an issue to be written in a separate bug or submitted patch.
The first sentence of the second comment says it all: "This Bug should be CLOSED (Not a bug)."
Going along.
