Resolved: Dolphin won't connect to local SSH server
Resolved: Dolphin won't connect to local SSH server
Hi y'all! My set up:
- Desktop PC, running Ubuntu 24 and KDE 5.27
- Local server running Ubuntu 24
I have had my Dolphin file browser set up to connect to the local server vis SSH since forever but starting this week, it can't seem to connect. It just says "Loading..." forever, no error.
This is the URL it uses for this connection:
sftp://[email protected]:22/
Until last weekend, it just worked. I don't recall anything happening around that time. I don't think anything has changed on the server.
I can still connect via SSH at a terminal just fine so I know the server is online & the user hasn't changed.
Are there logs for Dolphin somewhere? How can I troubleshoot this?
Thanks for any ideas!
EDIT: I, uhhh... rebooted and it works now. Thanks anyway @[email protected] you taught me how to troubleshoot this tool and I appreciate that.
Can you connect with
sftp?sftp [email protected]Try using this to get logs:
KIO_SFTP_LOG_VERBOSITY=10 KDE_FORK_SLAVES=1 QT_LOGGING_RULES="log_kio_sftp=true;kf.kio.workers.sftp=true;" dolphin --new-window sftp://192.168.68.137:22/My guess is something is up with your fuse install. You can also try creating an entry for this connection so you don't need to keep putting it in the address bar. You may be able to get some extra feedback by attempting that route.
Sure you need port 22 at the end? did you try without it?
I believe it's the way Dolphin invokes using fuse for the connection. Adding the port and trailing path.
