#232 Connection not established to some hosts
I am using PAC manager 4.5.4 on a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04. It works fine for the most part but to some hosts (AIX VIO servers, if it matters) I cannot connect. It's a plain non-root SSH connection with password auth. Login message appears, user name and password are sent, I get the prompt but no input is accepted and Status is "PASSWORD:Sent (not shown)", the orange block goes back and forth for about 50 seconds and then I get disconnected. No error messages shown.
Regular AIX and Linux hosts are OK.
Hi!
Easy: the "Command prompt" regular expression is not matching your AIX shell.
Please, do a manual login, and send me a screenshot of the whole process (just to see how does the shell prompt looks like when you login).
Hi David,
That was quick! Thank you. I am using a custom prompt, never thought it could cause an issue :) I have changed it a little, now it works perfect.
Old prompt: [padmin@vio1:/home/padmin]
New prompt: [padmin@vio1:/home/padmin]$>
Is there maybe a connection paramter somewhere I could set up so it recognises custom prompts?
I am a total noob with PAC, but it's excellent so far and a great help. Thanks for the amazing work.
Yep!
You can configure GLOBAL prompts and PER CONNECTIONS prompts! :)
Simply edit your connection's details, and go to "Terminal options", and heck the "Use these personal options" to be able to modify those values.
Oh, so obvious. It was greyed out and I missed it.
Changed it, a marvellous piece of software :)
Cheers.
Thanks! :)
I have the exact same issue with v4.5.5.5-1~getdeb1 (on a Ubuntu 14.04): I get disconnected few seconds after connecting via SSH.
(Please tell me if I should open another bug report)
Here is the output for SystemFailing (where I get the the prompt but get disconnected):

Once the prompt is shown as above I still have the following in the "status bar":

After some seconds I get disconnected:

The "odd" part is that this issue occurs just after upgrading from Debian 7 to Debian 8.
