Hello,

I am running Skrooge in a Linux server (Slackware 14.2) from a Windows 10 laptop running Xming X Server.

The point is that when I manually open a terminal session to the server and from it run Skrooge (export DISPLAY=a.b.c.d:0 & skrooge) everything work fine, but if I try to run it using PLINK cli I always get first a "save as" dialog, trying to save the unused new file, and after closing it the my correct file is opened and Skrroge works fine.

The command I use is:

Code: Select all

plink -ssh -2 -X -pw <pass> <user>@<host> "/usr/bin/skrooge <skrooge-file> &>/dev/null"

I have also tried assigning a TTY:

Code: Select all

plink -t -ssh -2 -X -pw <pass> <user>@<host> "/usr/bin/skrooge <skrooge-file> &>/dev/null"

Any Idea on how to avoid that annoting "save as" dialog? Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks!
JM

Hi JesusM,

Could you generate a trace file of Skrooge?
To do that you just have to do "export SKGTRACE=10" before runing Skrooge.
This is just to understand why the "Save As" panel is called.

I run:

Code: Select all

plink -ssh -2 -X -pw **** jesusm@192.168.1.43 "(export SKGTRACE=10 & /usr/bin/skrooge)"

The console output was:

Code: Select all

##WARNING: failed to get the current screen resources
##WARNING: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 170 (Unknown), sequence: 170, resource id: 90, major code: 146 (Unknown), minor code: 20
##WARNING: QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-jesusm'

(First two lines are also shwon when running from a shell session)

Where is supposed to be created the trace file?

Thanks!

Traces must be in the std output. Try this:
export SKGTRACE=10 && /usr/bin/skrooge > /tmp/skrooge_traces.txt
instead of
export SKGTRACE=10 & /usr/bin/skrooge

You should have a file named /tmp/skrooge_traces.txt containing the traces.

I have sent you a link to the file by PM.

Thanks!

Hi,

In you traces, I can see that:
1- An initial empty document is created (this is normal)
2- The load of /home/Cuentas/Cuentas.skg is triggered (this is normal)
2.a- The closure of the document created in (1) is done (this is normal)
2.b- The document created in (1) state is "Modified" (this is not normal), so the save panel is displayed

I don't understand why the initial document is considered as "modified". This should not be the case.

During the analysis, I decided to optimise performances by avoiding the creation of the empty document when a file name is passed as argument.
I committed this optimisation but this could help you (not document initialised, not document modified).

Are you able to build the trunk to test it?

Regards.

Ok, I have updated Skrooge with your modification, and my views:

1. When I run Skrooge from a terminal, it works fine both passing a file as argument and without arguments (but this already worked fine before)

2. When running Skrooge using plink, it now work fine in both cases too.

Thanks!!

To be honest, I don't understand why it did work before.
Anyway, this topic is closed.
