Hi George, 1st, please use either "diff -c" or "git diff" to prepare the patch. You can even use "git diff" on a files/folders that are outisde of a git source tree. 2nd, I tried what I think was your patch. I've attached the change I used, it is outputted with "git diff". I used the x2goclient master branch (4.0.3.0.) Unfortunately, it failed to fix the bug. I did not experience any regressions though. I tested it on both a Windows XP 32-bit SP3 machine and a Windows 8.1 64-bit machine (with the latest required updates & optional updates from MS.) 3rd, the username I used was "δοκιμαστικό χρήστη". That is how Google Translate translated "test user" into Greek. Because it is not easy for me to type that name into the Windows login prompt, I simply ran commands like the following to test it: runas "/user:δοκιμαστικό χρήστη" "c:\x2gobuilds\x2goclient\dist\x2goclient.exe" -Mike On Mon, Sep 1, 2014 at 7:23 PM, Michael DePaulo wrote: > On Mon, Sep 1, 2014 at 3:51 PM, Mike Gabriel > wrote: >> Hi Mike#2, >> >> On Mo 01 Sep 2014 19:28:50 CEST, George Trakatelis wrote: >> >>> A suggested patch is to substitute the Qt4 toAscii() function with >>> toLocal8Bit() >>> in two specific places of SshMasterConnection::run(). >>> A git diff is as follows: >>> >>> $ diff /c/a/sshmasterconnection.cpp /c/b/sshmasterconnection.cpp >>> 521c521 >>> < ssh_options_set ( my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTIONS_SSH_DIR, >>> (mainWnd->getHomeDirectory()+"/ssh").toAscii()); >>> --- >>>> >>>> ssh_options_set ( my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTIONS_SSH_DIR, >>>> (mainWnd->getHomeDirectory()+"/ssh").toLocal8Bit()); >>> >>> 630c630 >>> < ssh_options_set ( my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTIONS_SSH_DIR, >>> (mainWnd->getHomeDirectory()+"/ssh").toAscii()); >>> --- >>>> >>>> ssh_options_set ( my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTIONS_SSH_DIR, >>>> (mainWnd->getHomeDirectory()+"/ssh").toLocal8Bit()); >>> >>> >>> The change affects only Windows builds and was tested in Windows 8.1 Pro >>> and Windows 7 Professional. >>> >>> G.
