The openssh update today (8.1p1-4 → 8.2p1-1) broke the ability to open the file system on android with dolphin and KDE Connect. All folders remain locked protected. Error is:
The shortterm solution is to downgrade openssh.
After the Firefox issue, it has been at least a week or 10 days since I updated. Between Firefox, Mesa, and now openssh it may be another week or ten days before I update.
According to this link/ advisory, it looks like 8.2p1-3 restarts the daemon automatically. Otherwise, it looks like a manual restart may be required. Not sure if this solves the KDE Connect issue, but thought I’d point it out in case you hadn’t seen it yet. Does this help?
I just upgraded and the newer openssh-8.2p1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst version and it does not work with dolphin. So the problem seems deeper than an openssh restart. There is another KDE Connect openssh problem reported on Reddit today: kdeconnect and sshfs key exchange problem
The Android app offers ssh key exchange using diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 and diffie-hellman-group1-sha1. In the newest version of openssh the former was removed from the defaults, the latter has been disabled for a while. This results in kdeconnect not being able to create a connection using sshfs.
@ricklinux it appears that the kdeconnect 1.4-2 released today fixes (or works around) the openssh bug. kdeconnect and dolphin now work as advertised with android phones.
