Description Enrique Artal 2014-12-31 14:18:14 UTC
My version is kde-connect-0.7.3-1.fc21.x86_64, but 0.7.3 does not appear in the menu.
When trying to browse files in the phone through kdeconnect in dolphin, ksshaskpass asks for a password. Everything else work fine. I do not see a place to define such a password.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click in dolphin to browse or copy files in the phone
2. A password is asked
3.

Actual Results:  
Browsing not possible.

This password should be automatically set and never asked to you. It looks like the version of SSHFS you are using ignores the password we pass to it, so it stills ask for it to the user. Can you paste the output of the command "sshfs --version", to see which is the affected version?
Comment 2 Enrique Artal 2015-01-02 10:01:53 UTC
The output of sshfs --version is:
SSHFS version 2.5
FUSE library version: 2.9.3
fusermount version: 2.9.3
using FUSE kernel interface version 7.19

corresponding to fuse-sshfs-2.5-1.fc21.x86_64
Comment 3 Albert Vaca Cintora 2015-01-04 10:15:10 UTC
That's the same version I have, so the bug might be in a different place. Maybe it's a problem with the "ksshaskpass" package (I don't have it installed actually). Can you try uninstalling it temporally, to see if it works without it?
Comment 4 Enrique Artal 2015-01-05 10:16:32 UTC
I uninstalled this package with the same result (an X-askpass window appears) but it may be some misconfiguration problem from my account. I used another account in the computer and it worked.

I'm going to close this ticket then. Probably is something related to your ssh config, if you can find it out please comment it here so other people with the same issue can know what to do :)

Hey, I am struggling with the same error.
I reinstalled my system, took the old home directory and end up with the same error.

The "solution" to deinstall "ksshaskpas" did not work for me.
I can see the main folders but dolphin claims, that they do not exist.
So I think the connection is not established correctly.

I am using the current Kubuntu 16.10
With KDE-Plasma 5.7.5
KDE-Frameworks 5.26.0
Qt 5.6.1
Kernel 4.8.0-34

KDE-Connect 0.8-0ubuntu5

And the current Google-Play-App-Version.
Comment 7 Albert Vaca Cintora 2017-01-18 09:33:00 UTC
Version 0.8 is old and unsupported. Please upgrade to 1.0. I recommend you asking the Ubuntu packagers to provide a recent version, so it fixes it not only for you but for all Ubuntu users. The more people who complain the higher the chance they finally update it.

Thanks for absolutely nothing.

For all who have the same problem here the solution:

The problem is an old - migrated - kdeconnect setting file.
(The more challenging issue is to find this file and all its copies!)
So NEVER EVER keep you kdeconnect settings while migrating and/or reinstalling your linux system.

Steps I did:
#1 - delete "~/.kde/share/config/kdeconnectrc"
#2 - delete "~/.share/config/kdeconnectrc"
Till now no result.
Ok, then the hard one:
#3 - delete "~/.kde/*" and "~/.share/*" ... 
It works!

Now you can reconfigure kdeconnect anew and no kdehaskapass-window any more.
