Lowering the severity as it looks like I was using it incorrectly, but keeping it to important as dumping a password in plaintext still doesn't sound right. > One thing I noticed when inspecting the debs from 5.6.5 and 5.7.0 was > that the /usr/share/application/org.kde.ksshaskpass.desktop file was > present in 5.6.5 but not in 5.7.0. > I guess that that explains the disappearance from krunner. > > When I run 'ssh-add' from Konsole thing seem to work just fine.

According to the README you should use it sth like the following. Put the following in a script: #!/bin/sh export SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ksshaskpass # Add default key ssh-add And then add/link that script in System Settings -> Autostart to be started at session start. I had removed that from my system as it meant that I often got 2 'competing' password dialog boxes at session start and that was annoying. One was from KMail/Kontact and the other from ksshaskpass and starting ksshaskpass manually through krunner as described earlier I didn't have that problem. But it could (very well) be that it was due to kwallet from 'KDE4' and 'KDE5' were asking for my password. But now I have the latest KMail (5.2.2), so they'd both use kwallet from 'KDE5' and after having created the above script and linking it in Autostart, I only got 1 password dialog box and both KMail and (k)ssh(askpass) are happy. I'm now also getting that ksshaskpass wants to open kwallet to retrieve the password, while I was getting a separate dialog before, probably some fallback mechanism. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Bug#831600: ksshaskpass: After upgrade from 5.6.5 to 5.7.0 it stopped working
Package: ksshaskpass Version: 4:5.7.0-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Today I made a new attempt at upgrading ksshaskpass to 5.7.0 after the previous try failed and it failed again. After logging in I (pretty much) always start ksshaskpass through krunner and that makes it so that I can ssh into several machines using keys. After the upgrade to 5.7 it doesn't appear in krunner anymore. Starting it from Konsole gave a somewhat unsettling result as it dumped the password in plaintext to stdout ... and when trying to ssh into another machine it still asked for my key password. $ ksshaskpass & [1] 3863 $ Pass a valid window to KWallet::Wallet::openWallet(). [1]+ Doneksshaskpass One thing I noticed when inspecting the debs from 5.6.5 and 5.7.0 was that the /usr/share/application/org.kde.ksshaskpass.desktop file was present in 5.6.5 but not in 5.7.0. I guess that that explains the disappearance from krunner. When I run 'ssh-add' from Konsole thing seem to work just fine. I think it's getting the password from kwallet (as before) and when I ssh into another machine I'm not asked (again) for the password of my key. If you need more info, let me know.
