Thanks for the roundabout solutions, yes I could use sftp, lftp as a
sftp client, fish, nfs, samba, you-name-it, but it wouldn't explain to
me why a mount point just "become invisible" in Dolphin when I mount
something with sshfs on it.
I would happily settle for a bug a go with another solution, but since
at least one person tried with no problem the same setup, I should be
able to find what's screwing up here.

I am lacking time right now, but I will investigate during the week-end,
and dig upstream bug reports. I'll let the list know if I find a
rational explanation. Please don't throw the cosmic rays at me again ! ;-) .

Cheers,

Tom

Then why no sftp://u...@host ? I think most modern ssh servers have sftp 
enabled.

Yes, love going fishing too, MC or Konqueror handle it pretty well,
except right now I have seen a few posts about fish not being so
reliable for large copies with Konqueror.

But here the problem isn't to find an alternative (I could use nfs, or
samba as well) but to understand why the mountpoint simply vanish from
Dolphin when I mount something with sshfs on it.
The folder is invisible in Dolphin, and only with Dolphin (of course
with Konqueror too, since it's Dolphin doing the local browsing through
it), but the folder and content is visible with a "ls"... Strange.

Re: Dolphin can't browse sshfs mounts

[Cade Robinson]

Why not just use fish://u...@host/path?

I love fish://
I use it all the time with kate to edit scripts on remote machines.
Pretty sure I can't get along with out it. I have debated Gnome for
better behaving Evolution and a java app we use at work but I can't get
past the ease of fish:// and smb:// for that matter.

The only bad thing is OO.org doesn't work over it - at least that I have
found.

The only configuration I did wrt Session Management is disable the confirmation 
on logout (althought it applies to all others as well).
Thanks to David/Patrice, I tried with switching that setting on and off and I 
can see a clear pattern:
- confirmation on -> logs out
- confirmation off -> shutdown

 In fact, on my box if I put my machine to sleep from kickoff - KDE is not 
locked, if I use battery widget - it is.

How are you putting your system to sleep?  My KDE automatically locks when 
it goes to sleep.  I use the battery widget.

Re: A few problems with KDE 4.2

[David Baron]

Kmail in 4.2.4 -- another old bugaboo has come back (does so every so often): 
The columns in the various view-panes do not scale correctly to pane width. 
Folder panes, for example, will not show unread and total mails without a 
horizontal scrollbar--I had gotten around that before, somehow. The folder-
contents pane will truncate rather than rescale but can be set up properly by 
dragging.

Time to fix this, whoever is maintaiing it!

Select confirmation. Then it should work OK. You will get a confirmation 
dialog and OK will log out.

In PowerDevil's general settings page, the first checkbox is "lock screen on 
resume". No idea why it is locked on resume and not suspend (wonder what 
happens if the suspend fails and you don't notice).

Sleep mode & lock screen

[Christoph Burgmer]

Is there a KDE way to lock the screen automatically when I put the system into 
sleep mode?
IMHO this should be a standard option, but I can't even find a way to turn it 
on manually.

No problems over here.

Mounting with
$ sshfs u...@host:/path/ localPath
and then opening localPath in Dolphin works.

sshfs 2.2-1
KDE 4.2.4 (but worked before under 4.2.2)

Dolphin can't browse sshfs mounts

[tv.deb...@googlemail.com]

Hi all,

Using Dolphin (Version : 4:4.2.2-1 / Sid) to browse a sshfs mount gives
me an empty window and a "directory doesn't exist" error, even though
the mount is doing just fine and is accessible by other means (like "ls"
for instance).
Mountpoint belongs to user, nothing fancy permission wise... No clue.

Is it a known issue ? Am I missing something like an helper package for
Dolphin ?

Thanks for any pointer.

Tom

I talked to one of the Plasma developers on IRC and I understood that this 
will be fixed in 4.3
Right now they are working around a limitation of the date formatting 
capabilities in KDE's locale system and that system will get the necessary 
upgrade in 4.3

True, see my reply to Marcus Better's mail.

I just skipped it since I had a manual backup already and was directly 
upgrading from 3.5 without any 4.x from experimental in between.

Strange.
The only thing I lost was per-folder identify settings.

Me too :)

I think one of them is the match for the executable in $PATH and one is the 
menu entry (.desktop file)

I think I had this problem as I first run kde4 after it hit testing.

Have a look at the session manager settings, turn them right or try to
toggle some properties and sort of re-apply if it happens they look good.

I have seen this as well on an Intel chip.
So I disabled the checks in kwinrc:

[Compositing]
DisableChecks=true
Enabled=true

sysprint is the key you press when you want a screenshot of your desktop,

This is the first time someone reports this issue here, thus I think that this 
could be 
just your problem (i.e: misconfiguration). Indeed I have several Debian 
installations and 
none behaves in this way. Have you given a try to a completely new user?
