Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When saving a Konsole bookmark, the URL/Command is changed to lower case. This prohibits use of Uppercase parameters. Example: With the following URL the ssh parameter "X" which turns on X-Windows forwarding and "C" which turns on compression for the connection, are required to be uppercase. ssh://user@example.com -XC is changed to: ssh://user@example.com -xc This causes the command, of course, to fail. Since UNIX parameters are case sensitive this will kill the utility of bookmarks in Konsole.
In trunk, it won't handle 'ssh://user@example.com -XC' at all. I had altered the code to handle ports. I'll have to look at the code for this.
This looks like a KBookmarkManager issue... it ignores the 'example.com -XC' and doesn't save that portion. Did this every work?
Yes, works quite nicely in 3.5.10 or earlier. Here is an example that connects to a server, then runs rdesktop to connect to a headless VirtualBox session. ssh -XYC ewr.example.net rdesktop -u cfit -d example.net -g 1024x768 -x l -a 16 -p password 172.16.0.175 & uname: Linux pavilion 2.6.16.54-0.2.5-bigsmp #1 SMP Mon Jan 21 13:29:51 UTC 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux issue: Welcome to SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586) - Kernel \r (\l).
Just checked on Kubuntu with KDE 4.4 beta 1. The behavior is worse, now when you try to add -X to an ssh://user@example.com it wipes out the example.com part of the URL.
OK, this is now officially broken to the point of being a waste of my hard drive space!!!!!! Not only can I not put in a command line in a bookmark for a command line PROGRAM. But, now it eats the IP address to connect to and any parameters that need to be passed. - Start with entering ssh://172.16.0.76 - Close the bookmarks editor - Click the bookmark and it prints ssh 172.16.0.76 - Open bookmarks editor and add parameters: ssh://172.16.0.76 -l bob -XYC - Close the bookmark editor - Select the bookmark - Note that it prints "ssh " and looks back at you like "what now"
'ssh -XC user@example.com' works well for me. The uppercase problem seems fixed now. And I do not understand why you insist saving the bookmark as 'ssh://172.16.0.76 -l bob -XYC'. That is neither URL nor command. It looks like both but it is nothing. 'ssh -XYC bob@172.16.0.76 ' is clearer and easier to understand or test.
Should this report be closed now? At least the uppercase problem seems gone.
