Vinagre crashes when trying to use SSH tunnel feature

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.
If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

I'am sorry, but apport (running and working for other apps) does not generate any crash report for vinagre, as I described in original report. I'm setting status to "New" again.

Then please try to obtain a backtrace manually following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Also, please try 2.29.90 version of vinagre.

I tried to perform a backtrace according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace, but something must be wrong. I have the right vinagre-dbgsym installed (see attachment), but gdb says: "(no debugging symbols found)...done."

please, in a terminal run: nm /usr/bin/vinagre | grep vinagre_ssh_connect

Here is output in my machine:
wendell@wendell-laptop:~$ nm /usr/bin/vinagre | grep vinagre_ssh_connect
08076dad T vinagre_ssh_connect

If grep returns nothing, I suspect Ubuntu/Debian build/packaging dropped the symbol...

$ nm /usr/bin/vinagre | grep vinagre_ssh_connect
nm: /usr/bin/vinagre: no symbols

I had the same bug so I decided to try and install the latest version from source (which is the same version as available on the 10.04 repos but I figured compiling it might make a difference).

No luck though, still crashes with:

vinagre: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/vinagre-1/plugins/libvnc.so: undefined symbol: vinagre_ssh_connect

Also:

nathan@nathan-desktop:~/.bin$ nm /usr/local/bin/vinagre | grep vinagre_ssh_connect
nathan@nathan-desktop:~/.bin$

(returns nothing).

The bug is still present in vinagre 2.30.0-0ubuntu1. Since it's quite close to LTS release now, should we perhaps be looking at either fixing it or remove the ssh option entirely? It happens on all three of my Lucid machines.

I second this. How can I help?

At least I need SSH to connect to VNC on our client machines.
I would like to have it fixed and not removed.

Confirmed on current lucid too, the issue is that the vinagre_ssh_connect symbol is defined in the vinagre-applet binary not in libvnc.so or anything the library is using

This bug was fixed in the package vinagre - 2.30.0-0ubuntu2

---------------
vinagre (2.30.0-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/90_workaround_undefined_symbol.patch:
    - upstream change to make ssh_vinagre_connect() visible in the .so too
      (lp: #516847)
