OK, I remembered I did have another Hardy desktop install - on another EPIA-5000. I'd abandoned that installation in favour of Gentoo (-Os makes a big difference to usability on that hardware) but it was intact.
It's also an almost completely vanilla ubuntu-desktop install, whereas "mab", my main desktop isn't, although I don't recall even wanting to change anything relating to this functionality before I first tried to use it and found it not working. :-) I just tried it on this EPIA-5000, and this functionality is working fine there. This seems to indicate that at least it isn't the network, dhcp setup or the remote machines that are wrong, but I think we knew that. :-) The software's a little old, as it hasn't been updated since it was abandoned. So I'll note some details, then run an update and see if it still works then. (Bet it does!) Anyway, obviously, it's an x86 install, with the linux-386 kernel. (I'd thought switching from -generic might help with another issue but I think it was irrelevant.) openssh-client: 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 gvfs, gvfs-backends, gvfs-fuse, libgvfscommon0 0.2.3-0ubuntu5 uname -a: Linux abatwa 2.6.24-16-386 #1 Thu Apr 10 12:50:06 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux Running the updates; now the versions are the same as for mab; also now using linux-generic: And it still works perfectly. -- "unable to find supported ssh command" when connecting to sftp server in nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
