Public bug reported: Bug 719485 is fixed by installing libgnomevfs2-extra. I have done that. This appears to be a different bug.
New install of Ubuntu 11.04, 32 bit with all current updates. Install gnome-commander from the partner repository. From the gnome-commander menu choose Connection; remote server. gnome-commander crashes per the above referenced bug. Install libgnomevfs2-extra. Connection; remote server now brings up connection dialog. I input the following information: [X] Use GNOME Keyring Manager for authentication Service type SSH Alias ken@taylor12 Server taylor12 (note that I can ping this server from Ubuntu 11.04) Port 22 (same issue if I do not specify port) Remote dir / User name ken I then OK and close gnome-commander to save as the data will be lost if gnome-commander crashes now. I launch gnome commander and select Connections; Remote Server and select the connection ken@taylor12 which I created above. I press Connect and after a few seconds I receive a message "Failed to open connection: Access denied. I close gnome-commander and open a terminal. I issue the command ssh taylor12. I allow the key for taylor12 to be saved on the Ubuntu machine. I am prompted for ken's password on taylor12. I supply it and successfully connect to taylor12. I then exit and close the shell. I launch gnome commander and select Connections; Remote Server and select the connection ken@taylor12 which I created above. I press Connect and after a few seconds gnome-commander crashes. At this point I opened a terminal and ran ubuntu-bug gnome-commander to record this issue. If I do not use [X] Use GNOME Keyring Manager for authentication I am prompted to provide the Password in the Remote Server dialog. If I store the password in this manner I can connect to the remote server. However, the password is stored in plain text in ~/.gnome-commander/connections. This is a security risk and has been reported and acknowledged in this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653573 I am not sure if the issue is with gnome-commander or the Gnome password management architecture. The only password entry shown in seahorse is my login password. I have experienced this same gnome-commander issue in Ubuntu 10.04 32 and 64 bit and in Fedora 15 32 bit. Please advise if there is any additional information I can provide.
