Bug ID: 403784
Summary: ssh X forwarding: clicking a file opens window on
remote
Product: dolphin
Version: 18.12.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: abhishek.anand.i...@gmail.com
CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When dolphin is opened over SSH X forwarding, clicking on a file (e.g. abc.png)
opens the corresponding graphical application on the DISPLAY of the remote
machine (DISPLAY=:0) and not on of the SSH client.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. ssh -Y remote
2. dolphin .
3. click on a .png file
OBSERVED RESULT
the gwenview window opens on the remote machine.
EXPECTED RESULT
the gwenview window should open on the client
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
MacOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Qt Version: 5.12.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Most likely, it affects all versions of plasma.
Instead of directly opening the clicked file, it seems dolphin sends a message
to plasmashell to open the file; dolphin is not the parent of the new graphical
process (e.g. gwenview, the parent is plasmashell.
plasmashell uses DISPLAY=:0. so the new window opens on the remote machine.
