openSUSE 11.1, KDE 3.5.10 release 21.9.
When I try to copy files using fish:// in Konqueror over SSH, my transfer almost always stalls on a random file if there are a significant number of files being copied. This appears to be a bug in KDE’s kioslaves:
Bug 147948 – copying via fish stalls
and in that bug report a user posted a patch:
View of /branches/KDE/3.5/kdebase/kioslave/fish/fish.cpp
but I don’t know how to apply it. How do I apply this patch?
Use patch Howto apply a patch file to my Linux / UNIX source code.
Cheers
Hrm … the patch from that bug report doesn’t appear to be a diff patch, but instead the full source code for a fish kioslave. The filename is fish.cpp, and on my system I found three possible candidates for a matching existing binary:
/opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kio_fish.la
/opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kio_fish.so
/usr/lib/vhook/fish.so
So problem 1 is that I don’t know exactly how to compile the source for fish.cpp that I downloaded from the bug report (do I need specific flags? what is my output file name? etc.) and problem 2 is that I don’t know where the compiled binary would live on my system.
I asked here first because I’m not overly familiar with where openSUSE puts all its files, but perhaps this would be a better question on a KDE-specific forum? I don’t know where to go from here.
