Hi, I thought the same thing: If I try to run (with xmonad.Prompt.Shell) x-terminal-emulator -e "ssh ciccio@pasticcio" it works, if instead I try to run x-terminal-emulator -e ssh ciccio@pasticcio it doesn't. I guess Prompt.Ssh runs the second (?) Yes, terminal is in $PATH. Thanks, marco On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 5:51 PM, <wagnerdm@seas.upenn.edu> wrote:

What have you set your "terminal" to? Is that terminal in your $PATH? Does that terminal recognize the -e option?

Hi, I really like the idea of being able to open ssh sessions straight from xmonad. Somehow, it doesn't work and I don't understand.

Here's relevant part of the configuration:

import XMonad.Prompt import XMonad.Prompt.Ssh

....

     myXPConfig = defaultXPConfig

....        , ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask,  xK_s), sshPrompt myXPConfig)

So when I hit mod4Mask, shift and s it starts correctly the "Ssh to:" prompt. At this point I enter the host name, and hit enter, and nothing happens...

I guess it should open a terminal with a session to the host I just entered, but it doesn't (there are no other windows with shells into that machine).

Advice? Ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance,

marco
