oh, I figured out (from the tooltip of the Host field) that I can enter [remoteu...@remote.host] but IMHO this is not intuitive enough. there should be a separate field for remote username, maybe defaulting to the local one.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: vinagre Intended action: connect to a firewalled machine using VNC with SSH tunneling Steps: 1., start Vinagre 2., Machine > Connect 3., select Protocol: VNC, fill in Host 4., check Use host [remote.host] as a SSH tunnel 5., select Connect 6., a the dialog appears saying Host: [my current username on the local machi...@[remote.host] which is not the desired login ! 7., so I am asked to provide a password for a nonexistent user on the remote machine, which I obviously cannot do. What should happen: either on the Connect or the Password dialog box, one should have an option to provide the user name for the remote machine Versions: - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS + Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (up-to-date) vinagre 2.30.0-0ubuntu2 -- no way to change username for ssh tunneling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
