HOST AUTHENTICITY WARNING MODAL
I’m trying to add a remote folder to Dolphin. I did this multiple times in the
past but some time ago I reinstalled the system on this device and it seems I’m
not able to do it anymore.
I insert all the details and a notification for the opening of the connection
pops up: (attachment 1)
Together with the notification, I get a warning that it’s not possible to
confirm the host’s authenticity: (attachment 2)
I personally trust the host, so I would normally click to connect anyway, but
the modal doesn’t answer to clicks.
I tried hiding the notification and nothing happened. Then I tried to cancel
the connection clicking on the notification: at this point I can click on the
modal, but proceeding like this gets me stuck, as the main window’s “Save and
connect” button is now greyed out and going back doesn’t save my preference,
therefore I see the issue every time I try to add the folder.
I worked around this deleting the “/” in the folder field and then adding it
again, then clicking on “Save and connect”: at this point the notification
appears again and I receive no warning regarding host’s authenticity (I just
set it to proceed anyway), but… the connection never occurs and the
notification keeps going indefinitely.
Another workaround is to click on “Previous” and then select the SSH option
again: fields will remember their values.
MAIN KNETATTACH WINDOW
I see that the main window too is not interactable when the notification
regarding the attempt to connect is open, that is until I cancel the attempt
with the button in the notification. I should be able to cancel the attempt
from the main window too (it has a “Cancel” button in the bottom right corner)
and I should be help to click on the “Help” button in the bottom-left corner,
but the window is not interactable during this process, therefore I cannot do
it.
FILEZILLA
I succeed using Filezilla: (attachment 3, attachment 4, attachment 5).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a network folder from Dolphin
2. Type the host details
3. If the host is unkown, an additional issue will be not being able to click
to trust it
OBSERVED RESULT
I cannot interact with the KNetAttach windows during a connection attempt to an
SFTP server, and stopping the attempt to tinker with the options doesn't help
troubleshooting the connection. Therefore, I'm not able to connect to the SFTP
and I cannot identify why.
EXPECTED RESULT
KNetAttach windows should be interactable when needed. This would also help
troubleshooting the connection.
