[opensuse] lost konsole feature in kde 4.8
I have been using KDE as shipped in 12.1, except that I let it update apps. I updated to 4.8 yesterday and lost one of the great konsole features I discovered in the original: If I start konsole with the option: "ssh -t www.somewhere.else ssh acme" I get the expected remote login. The neat new thing I saw in the original 12.1 konsole was that if I opened a new tab in that console, it also did the remote login automatically. I was duly impressed. Just what I needed. This no longer happens in the konsole in 4.8. Instead, it is the older behavior that the new tab is a local shell. Anyone else seen this? Perhaps there is now a setting that controls this. Something like, "each new tab runs the command from the command line"? I don't see this. But perhaps I do not know where to look. I do lots of ssh stuff this way. It was a great feature. Please don't tell me it was a bug... -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer@ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

I'm pretty sure that this functionality used to be part of Configure profile -> "Start in same directory as current tab". But you're right, it doesn't go do remote logins any more. File a bug? I can't see any mention of this in the change notes. But as an aside, opening multiple ssh connections to the same server is not really efficient. It's much better to learn how to use 'screen' or 'tmux' (my recommendation is via byobu). Then you can have multiple sessions on the remote host with one ssh connection, and it can even persist if your connection drops.

Will do. I like to check first that I did not miss something. The developers surely have better things to do than help me with that. I will wait a day for more responses, then file a question.

I expected someone would say that. But I am often looking at some things simultaneously. Detaching a tab when I want to have multiple concurrent views is very handy. But I guess I should have screen in my arsenal.

Efficient? Why is this not efficient, and how inefficient could it be such that it might actually matter? Its a common practice, especially when you need to log in as two different users. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
