Bug 380707 – sftp authentication broken in kde 4.7, patch available

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description aditsu 2011-08-26 03:58:09 UTC]

When I try to access an sftp url in dolphin, it shows "authentication failed"
at the bottom and "loading folder..." at the bottom right, with a kind of
progress bar that goes back and forth forever. There is no login dialog, and it
doesn't do anything.

Originally reported at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278986
Fixed upstream, patch available at http://commits.kde.org/kde-runtime/23e4ab03091e9d824e78171ea92a2da2326256d8

Reproducible: Always

Fixed in kdebase-kioslaves-4.7.0-r1

Hi again; unfortunately, that patch was not quite enough, and the problem still remains in kde 4.7.1. I reported back in the kde bug, and they fixed it again.
This time I actually verified by generating the patch and making a custom ebuild, and I confirm that it fixes the bug. I'll attach the patch and ebuild.

sftp patch for kdebase-kioslaves-4.7.1

I generated this by extracting kio_sftp.cpp from kde-runtime-4.7.1.tar.bz2, downloading the latest version from https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-runtime/repository/changes/kioslave/sftp/kio_sftp.cpp and doing diff -u between them.

kde 4.7.2 is available now and that fixes the problem
