unable to add username to bookmarked SSH connection

[Przemysław Kochański]

Binary package hint: vinagre

Every time I edit bookmark and add username, click save, and try to connect it says that my password is wrong (it's 100% good it works without bookmark). After that I edit bookmark and username is blank! Program just ignore whatever I type there...

I can confirm the bug.
Username is not saved when you add an ssh host to the favourites.
Haven't tried with VNC.

A workaround is to save the username as part of the hostname, separated by the "@" sign

Just fixed this upstream: http://git.gnome.org/browse/vinagre/commit/?id=251c1015e8a07e4abc2a8dc798629d4870127f79

I'll release 2.30.1 soon.

Accepted into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

The version in lucid-proposed looks fine, fixes the bug at my end.
Thanks for your support.

I managed to reproduce the issue with the package on Lucid, it indeed remove the username on the SSH bookmark. I've installed the proposed package and make the same test, create a bookmark, edit it and see if the username was saved or not, it was indeed saved now, the bug is fixed with the proposed package, marking this as verification done, thanks in advance.
