svn+ssh on Linux hangs

[smartin]

Hi,

My system:

OS: Debian Lenny and Ubuntu Jaunty.
Hardware: Dual core/Single core, 1GB RAM.
SlickEdit: 14.0.2

My problem:

I have a remote server set up with ssh/svn. I have configured the ssh connection for passwordless connections, i.e. ssh does not request a password but goes straight in using PKE. I have repositories configured with ssh+svn and I can do svn update/commit/etc from the command line, rapidSVN, etc without being prompted for a password.

I have configured svn in SlickEdit and when I do a compare workspace or compare project I get the "busy" dialog as expected with the blue bar going left to right, but when the svn diff finishes the "busy" dialog freezes. If I open up a terminal window and kill (-9) the "/bin/sh -i" that SlickEdit spawns then the "busy" dialog closes and I get the result of the diff.

I have had this behaviour in version 13 as well.

TIA.

Hi, any news on this?

So the gauge just freezes and the dialog is still up?

Has the svn process terminated at that point?

Hi,

Sorry I've been working on Windows for the last couple of months. Just gone back to Linux and hit this bug again . The gauge freezes and as far as I can see the svn command has terminated as I cannot see it in the process list. This also makes sense because when I kill the shell it seems to show the differences correctly.

HTH.
