KDE and ssh

Anyone else experiencing problems with KDE's ssh/sftp service after the latest batch of upgrades?
I don't seem to be able to connect from KDE applications anymore. Command line ssh works fine.
Elad

I'm getting a: Error encountered while talking to ssh, if I try to use Konqueror with sftp. I'm also having no problems when using command line
EDIT: just ignore my posting, I had forgotten to start the ssh daemon  :oops:

  • Screen Sharing and SSH sessions freeze occasionally on multiple mac minis

    I have 28 Mac Minis at work. With such a large number of minis, I obviously can't have a monitor attached to each of them so I've got them plugged into a network switch and access them via Screen Sharing (both via regular Screen Sharing and ARD) and SSH sessions.
    A few of them seem to suffer from intermittent problems however. I'll be using Screen Sharing when the session freezes. It may unfreeze eventually, but I can also usually just quit out and re-connect and it will be unfrozen. The same thing happens when I'm connected via SSH, it will freeze and I won't be able to type in any more commands.
    I need help troubleshooting (or if anyone knows what could be causing this, that'd be cool too).
    I've tried connecting from both a Mac Pro on the wired network and a MacBook Pro on the wireless network. The freezing seems to only happen on certain Mac Minis as well.
    I've tried switching network cables from a Mac Mini that doesn't suffer from this problem with one that does and nothing changed.
    I also thought it might be a bandwidth issue at first, despite being a gigabit switch connected via cat6 to the rest of our gigabit network, but even when no significant bandwidth is being used, the freezing still occurs.
    One more thing I want to test is the connection between the switch all these Mac Minis is plugged into and one of the other switches that all our other network traffic goes through. I didn't set it up myself so I fear that it might be an old, damaged cable or something. Failing that, I have no idea what the problem could be, which is why I'm posting here.
    So, does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Or any other ideas for troubleshooting the problem? Thanks.
    (They're all running 10.6.8, and range from Mid-2007 to 2009 models).

    It would be in the system log. However, the next step would be to safe-boot in order to eliminate third-party system modifications. That goes for both client and server. If you can reproduce the problem in safe mode, then you probably have a network issue. Take everything offline except one client and one server, and test.

  • What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce?

    What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce? Today I heard someone said gnome and kde have more software than xfce. Is that real?
    Thank you.

    Its really a matter of taste, really. KDE is know to be configurable like hell, GNOME very easy to use, and XFCE lightweitgh.
    Keep in mind that whatever desktop environment (DE) you choose, you can use any application in any DE. For example, firefox, a "GTK" application, works without problem under KDE. Or Kile, a latex front-end for KDE, works perfect under Gnome.
    Personnally I prefer KDE. But I mostly prefer KDE applications like the editors (Kate/Kwrite) and file manager (dolphin).
    KDE is slower to start on my EeePC (really small machine) but because it is full featured, I can cut on number of packages installed, so in the end, with the same functionality, I have more room on my disk then using XFCE!
    Just try them, and choose the one you like

  • Kerberos, vnc, and ssh

    I get the same errors if I use "kadmin -l" and attempt to create the principals using "add -r host/myserver.mydomain.com" and "add -r vnc/myserver.mydomain.com".  The principals don't exist if I try to list them.
    Kerberos is working fine for some other services, like imap and smtp.  The principals exist.
    Does anyone knwo why I can't create these?  Thanks!

    Check your TCP segment size. To find out what it should be you can try the following.
    From a PC at site A, ping a PC at Site B. You need to set some ICMP switches though.
    C:\>ping 10.10.2.100 -f -l 1500
    The -f is set the Do Not Fragment flag, the -l is the send buffer size. Continue to do this each time decreasing the packet size until you have a successful ping. When you find that number, that is your maximum TCP segment size. You can then set that on the router. Any packet that is too big, the router will respond to the sending device saying it is too big, send a smaller size. It will do that until the packet is less than or equal to the number you set. In most routers the largest size you can set is 1460, so that might save you some time. To set it in the router, go to the tunnel interface and enter "ip tcp adjust-mss
    HTH and please rate.

  • [SOLVED] Problem witch qt4 , KDE and startx

    Hi!
    With the recent update of qt4 i had a problem to start X session.
    First, i update all with pacman -Syu (qt4 to 4.8.4-11), and then update only qt4 to 4.8.4-12.
    A few hours i have a problem to start KDE and show me a message:
    Could not start d-bus. Can you call qdbus?
    After trying to use the following command:
    xinit steam -- :1
    and to my surprise, run KDE without problems, but with xinitrc exec startkde and startx it continues equal
    Last edited by xpt (2013-03-08 20:40:33)

    gnome-session, startkde and startxfce4 will start a D-Bus session automatically if one is not already running. The skeleton file for ~/.xinitrc (/etc/skel/.xinitrc) will do the same. Make sure that your ~/.xinitrc is based on the skeleton file /etc/skel/.xinitrc.
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/D-Bus
    So...
    $ cat /etc/skel/.xinitrc
    #!/bin/sh
    # ~/.xinitrc
    # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
    if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
    for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
    done
    unset f
    fi
    # exec gnome-session
    # exec startkde
    # exec startxfce4
    # ...or the Window Manager of your choice
    ... because ...
    $ ls /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/
    30-dbus 40-libcanberra-gtk-module xdg-user-dirs
    That's why dbus is not started.
    EDIT:
    As a side note: I strongly suggest using KDM in your case. You can create a session file only for steam and switch to a seperate session with only steam from inside KDE. This will also stop KDE from running, when all you want is steam.

  • Are "Back to My Mac" FTP and SSH services visible to "everyone"?

    With the MobileMe "Back to my Mac" service, I can establish SSH terminal and SFTP connections from my Mac Mini at home to my Mac Pro at my work.  The SSH (Remote Login) and SFTP (File Sharing) services are enabled under System Preferences -->  Sharing.
    Does this make the SFTP and SSH services on my Mac visible/accessible to anyone else?  I like using "Back to my Mac" because it is simple and it uses key exchange for authentication when connecting.  However, I'm concerned that by enabling the SFTP and SSH services under Sharing, I'm also opening these services up to anyone who can see them.  Is this true, and if so, how can I maintain the security of my computers?
    Thanks in advance,
    jjw

    OK, besides putting me to sleep, the BTMM description seems to indicate that it is your MobileMe password that is important when making BTMM connections through a home NAT router.
    BTMM does open a port through the router, but if I understand correctly, it does not listen for ssh, or vnc, or afp protocols, but rather for the BTMM IPsec secure tunnel to be established, and then all the BTMM supported servers travel over the IPsec secure tunnel.  NOTE: the paper was putting me to sleep, so I could have this wrong.
    Kerberos is used for authentication of the IPsec tunnel.
    What I'm thinking is that if your Mac stays behind a home NAT router, or corporate firewall (that allows BTMM to work), then the important password is your MobileMe password.   If the Mac goes out in public, then all your Mac OS X user account (and guest) passwords need to be strong (where longer is better).
    A GRC Shields-UP probe will not check all possible ports.  If BTMM is running and all the standard ports are marked as stealth, then BTMM is using a non-standard port (as in one GRC does not check by default).  That makes it more difficult for someone to find your NAT router and then your Mac.  While this is NOT security, it does add some difficulty to the intruder's attempts at finding you.
    AGAIN, I did not fully understand the BTMM paper, so "Your Mileage May Vary" with respect to my analysis acccuracy.

  • What's the difference between reguler KDE and KDEmod?

    Hello all,
    In two weeks I get my new laptop, which will be capable of running Arch and KDE ( as my current computer isn't, somehow it only runs Fedora w/ Gnome)
    Since I really like Arch and already got it working on Virtualbox, I want to install it on my new laptop. I'd like to get it working with KDE, but I noticed Arch also has KDEmod. I already searched the forums but couldn't really find an answer to my question: What is the difference between regular KDE and KDEmod and which one is better for me to use?
    Thanks in advance!

    Allan, i forgive you for your poor paragraph construction and sorry for me being a bit peeved
    However, i know you have read more from the IRC log than just that one sentence by me...
    Allan wrote:
    From the IRC log, I do not think that conclusion is too far off, especially if you are considering Arch-Stable as your base...  So saying "plain wrong" seems... well...  plain wrong. Especially given the irc log:
    <funkyou> in one sentence: to do what we really want to do, we need a stable platform.
    So why not showing the whole picture and clear this up:
    <funkyou> ok, to start: i think at least some of you have noticed that arch linux is a fine platform for what we want to deliver, but there are some little "annoyances"
    <funkyou> mainly:
    <funkyou> -.so bumps every few weeks
    <funkyou> -the general "freshness"
    <funkyou> -a lot of manual interaction needed (sometimes)
    <funkyou> everyone can see these problems when looking at the forums, _most_ of them are related to updates
    <funkyou> in one sentence: to do what we really want to do, we need a stable platform.
    Makes more sense now? Its not that Arch is too unstable, its just that we cant keep up will all the changes... And this is not Archs "fault" nor anyone elses fault, its just going too fast for us. Most annoying or severe bugs in our tools are there due to upstream updates. And the reasons are not really the .so bumps (which are mostly solved by a simple rebuild) but also constantly changing apis and stuff. This is not a big problem in KDE (they keep their apis clean), but a big one when it comes to other stuff like parted, to give an example. And this is our main problem, we need to constantly adapt our code to upstream changes.
    This even resulted in a repo with modified or "frozen" Arch packages just to keep our liveCD going, and now we are looking for solutions for this problem, and "stable" snapshots seem to be one way... Oh, and if we would do this (there is nothing announced yet), we would do our own snapshot every X months because ArchStable seems to be a dead project. We also considered cooperating with the ArchServer guys, but their stuff is really made for servers, so even while their project is really nice its not really an option for us.
    Well, we'll see what we will do during the next months, now we are still testing and evaluating some solutions... Oh, and people, please stop any "we dont need another ubuntu" complaints...

  • Surround sound in ALSA in KDE and dmix, a working case

    After two days of searching the web, reading manuals, typing and constant rebooting, I ended up with a configuration for ALSA that works fine 95% of the time. Right now I am listening to 5.1 surround sound (through upmixing) from any app I want (flash not installed, so not tested). I am writing it here 'cause I didn't find this answer to any other forum and the solution on Archwiki didn't work, so it might help a lot of people.

    This will allow for both input and output mixing, togther with 5.1 sound. I think it can be summarized to 5 or 6 lines but my brain is too bloated with all the linux audio crap right now to even think about it..
    In some cases, in KDE, when some phonon based apps like Bangarang or Amarok are the first ones to produce sound after boot, then the sound device is locked and no other app will be able to access it and play anything. If I exit the app, play sth else, eg speakertest -c 6, then everything works fine and I can have any app produce sound (even Amarok and Bangarang). In these wicked circumstances, I noticed that KDE notifies me of some sound devices not working and falling back to some other ones (that do not necessarily have a different name). Also the login sound doesn't play and maybe it is due to this that the notification appears. In any case, after rebooting the whole thing (usually) doesn't repeat.
    Another thing with ALSA that mixed things more is that, in case you have a usb webcam plugged in, sometimes its microphone becomes the default device and the above .asoundrc will stop working. To prevent this simply change the order the devices are loaded by putting the following in a file under /etc/modprobe.d:
    alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
    alias snd-card-1 snd_usb_audio
    options snd-card-0 index=0
    options snd-hda-intel index=0
    options snd-card-1 index=1
    options snd_usb_audio index=1
    (found here http://ramblings.narrabilis.com/alsa-no … boot-time).  The aliases are probably not needed.
    I am curious to see if this works for anyone else. Also, I don't know how to use alsa-equal with this .asoundrc, so any advice is welcome. (By the way, I never got alsa-equal to work with Amarok).

    Correct about samplerate_best.
    Yes, but is there another app that has audio open?
    Well, yes and no.. In KDE running fuser (and lsof) shows  "kde4" and "kmix", but I doubt these are actually using the device, because, even with software mixing disabled, they are still listed, yet I can still play surround sound with speakertest.
    Also, in KDE, I diabled/enabled (on the fly) samplerate_best several times while trying things, without restarting KDE and the results where mixed. The same with your .asoundrc and other configurations. As a conclusion, while in KDE ALWAYS restart it to be sure that the new .asoundrc is used (fastest way ctrl+alt+bksp to kill X).
    A question:
    Generally, in linux, everything uses ALSA (ok, also OSS) to produce sound. So .asoundrc is always in effect no matter what app we are using, right? However, before even enabling surround sound, with alsaequal installed as the deffault device (as te wiki suggests), the equalizer was used only by apps talking directly to ALSA (eg VLC, speakertest) and was ignored by phonon apps. Any explanation? On the contrary, VLC seems to ignore .asoundrc as far as surround sound and samplrate_best are concerned. What is happening?
    In any case, how could I change .asoundrc to make use of alsaequal as the default, together with 5.1 sound and dmixing?

  • KDE and GNOME install no found smbclient from all mirrors?

    I met this issue when try to install KDE and GNOME. It is not found even in Arch's ftp and many mirrors.
    Who can help me this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    do pacman -Sy before. smbclient was updated yesterday and maybe you forgot to sync the database.

  • Ping and ssh don't work after waking from sleep

    Hi!
    I have been running Arch on my 2010 Macbook since May and there's always been this one annoyance which I can't figure out: after it is woken from sleep, the wireless (using netctl) happily reconnects and I can browse, check email, run pacman, do dns lookups---everything, it seems, apart from ssh or ping.  Both ping and ssh seem to hang.  If I reboot or restart [email protected], then they both work.
    Running :
    $ ssh XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
    connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(22), sin_addr=inet_addr("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX")}, 16
    where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is my work computer. (Full strace: http://pastie.org/private/xhmee0oltrnx3qmblnzq)
    Running strace ping google.com (as root) gives the repeated lines:
    $ strace ping google.com
    sendmsg(3, {msg_name(16)={sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("173.194.34.102")}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\10\0\270\345b\325\0\2\336\36QR\0\0\0\0\353\376\2\0\0\0\0\0\20\21\22\23\24\25\26\27"..., 64}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 64
    recvmsg(3, 0x7fff2f6d6f90, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
    (Full strace: http://pastie.org/private/bfygaqtccz0ms2w8hqea4g)
    I can, however, sucessfully ping my router and other devices connected to it.  I have not been able to find out anything relevant that might fix this. I've checked the MTU settings match those on the router and my other laptop running Arch does not have this problem.
    Any suggestions on how to debug this further?
    Thanks!

    I have several mid-2009 8-core Mac Pro's, all running Snow Leopard, and all have been having this problem as well.
    I will not guarantee this is going to work for anyone else....but we have found a (slightly inelegant) workaround for it that has been working for several weeks now without fail.
    Prior to putting your MacPro to sleep, run the volume all the way up and leave it there. Afterwards, put it to sleep as usual. We use the keyboard to do this, but I would imagine any method should have the same affect. However, I've not experimented.
    Anyway...this has worked 100% of the time for us. The only downside of it is that you have to remember to run it up before....and then back down after waking (else that first alert sound or music file you play will really wake YOU up!)
    If this works for anyone else, let me know.
    Apple should never have let this one out the door with this bug. Especially, as Apple Support is....wanting, at best.

  • Cli connection to masterserver: ssl and ssh

    It is possible to use SSL connection from one CLI-host and SSH from an other CLI-host to the same masterserver or can I only use one of them methods?
    If yes, how I have to configure the masterserver config.properties: hostdb.ms.connectiontype

    First off, you DON"T need a vnc SERVER. Do not launch that application, and eventually, I think you will agree that you can remove that application from your server.
    Instead of using vnc server, go into System Preferences > Sharing > Services on that machine and enable Apple Remote Desktop.
    With Apple Remote Desktop selected, click on Access Privileges...
    Configure as desired in there, making sure that you have the VNC viewers may control screen checkbox checked.
    Get out of there, then click on the Firewall tab and click on New...
    One of the choices in the pull-down menu will be VNC. Select it.
    Save and close System Preferences.
    Now go to the other computer.
    Create a connection in CotVNC to connect to 127.0.0.1:5901 (note: do not use localhost:5901; use 127.0.0.1:5901).
    Launch Terminal.
    Your ssh login command should look something like this:
    ssh -l {yourShortUserNameOnServer} -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5900 {ServerHostNameOrIPaddress}
    Once the ssh connection is established, any traffic to/from port 5901 on localhost of your local machine is tunneled over secure shell to port 5900 on the server.
    Launch CotVNC, select and activate the connection 127.0.0.1:5901. You now have an VNC session up and running, tunneled inside an encrypted secure shell tunnel.
    If you already have an alias command set up in your .bash_login (or whatever) to ssh into this server computer, essentially, all you need to do is add the additional port tunneling option -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5900 to it.

  • KDE and all the apps that come with it

    I have a question about the KDE group (and packages) and pardon me if I demonstrate my lack of understanding.   
    I'm fairly new to using linux as a desktop, although I've been using it (and FreeBSD) as server for quite some time.  So I can get around fairly well with command line, and server based stuff.
    I tried many distributions but didnt find one that I got attached to, and was about to go thru a Gentoo install when I discovered Arch.  Since then its been fantastic.  On my home lan I've replaced almost all my windows installations with arch and have not had any major issues.
    However, looking at the slick way that pacman works, with all the little packages I can choose from and the dependancy chain figured out for me, I was a little dissapointed that KDE comes with a dozen or so packages that contain 100s of apps.   For instance, I am pretty sure I dont need KBabel (a translator), yet I cannot install it thru pacman because it isnt in its own package, it is in kdeaddons.   I REALLY like the idea of having a KDE group that would install everything that it currently does, but why have so many apps inside that group of packages?
    I took a little look at the kde website and didnt really see anything in there that indicated that KBabel is part of an actual kdeaddons package there, so I am assuming that the kde maintainer for arch decided that it should be that way.
    I dont know any better, so thats why I am asking.   I dont have a need for a fax viewer, a tea cooker, or a moon phase thingo.  but I did like the AMOR to amuse the kids a little. So how can I keep one bit and get rid of the others, without having to dig thru stuff and possibly break the dependancy chain?   
    Anyway, not to take away from the effort of those maintaining the packages, because it works quite well and I'm really enjoying my new systems.  Just wanted to ask if there was a specific reason it was done this way.
    Kudos.

    Well, as it stands, no you can't just pick individual apps in KDE.  If you really want to pick what you want, you will have to turn to building from source.  You can probably alter kdeaddons in ABS, or just start with Konstruct.
    Personally, I understand why they just lump all of kde into 5-10 packages.  It would be a complete headache otherwise.  I've got the hard drive space and I can handle a few unused applications laying around.  Keep up the good work to the new KDE maintainer eh?

    That's probably the exact reason. There's probably around 100+ programs (I could be under or over by a lot, it just seems like there are a ton) that come with a fully installed KDE, and if you had to install them all individually, it'd be hell. It's just easier to put them all together into a few packages, because most people'll probably want to use KDE's stuff within the KDE environment, anyway.
