Hi Luemmel. Having a problem. I went through the ssh setup but I always have to launch "ssh xbmc@localhost" from terminal to make swiss army knife launch correctly. It doesn't ask me for a password but after I do that I can use your add-on with no problem.
However if I don't do ssh xbmc@
localhost manually from terminal I get an error message that says "Local SSH Server not configured correctly".
Any idea why this might be happening?

Ah ha, someone else having the same problem. Look back in this thread and you'll see that I have same problem. It's still not resolved despite Luemmel's and my best efforts. It appears that for some reason, some installs of ssh just won't let you do this trick of creating a keyfile in the way that it is done for SAK. I suggest that you look at the setup script and try to manually set up SSH as per the commands in that script. If that doesn't work then, like me, you are stuck for the moment until it gets resolved. The problem is that without this feature working, it is impossible to run SSH without typing in a password as the SSH program has no facility to pass the password on the command line, or as far as I can determine by redirecting stdin from a file.
hey guys, is there a windows version available for dvd ripping?

google is your friend. There are any number of applications for Windows that will backup DVDs. Most of them paid for - but AnyDVD and its friends work well. Also look at Makemkv. This app of Luemmel's is not for windoze, mainly because the underlying software is not available on that platform.

Thanks chippyash. I will look into the steps you provided.
I went back on the thread and read that you were getting asked for a password when you ssh xbmc@
localhost from terminal. Is that correct? Because in my case I am not being asked for a password.
same problem here with 0.6.18.
I can login from shell without password with ssh
[email protected] , but I still can't start the plugin.

hum, If you are not being asked for a password then you *should* be good to go. It means that your ssh is setup correctly.
log on to XBMC with a terminal and simply type
ssh xbmc@
localhost
If you are asked for a password, then you have same problem as me, (assuming you have set up ssh correctly.) If not I suspect then you may have a different problem. Turn xbmc debugging on (in system settings), restart xbmc and then try to fire up SAK. Then look at the log file /home/xbmc/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log to see if that gives any clues.
if you can open another terminal you can
tail -f /home/xbmc/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log
and watch the log whilst you try and start SAK. This may/may not give you some idea as to what is going on.

I had this problem but was able to fix it on Ubuntu 10.10 ($ just represents the command prompt, don't type it in).
$ sh-keygen -t rsa
Save without password
Copy and paste the key from ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
or
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Then run:
$ ssh-add
Some more info about my problem.
1/ I can login to ssh without password when logued as xbmc to xbmc@
localhost
2/ When i hit this command manually:
Quote:ssh xbmc@localhost /home/xbmc/.xbmc/addons/script.video.swiss.army.knife/shell-linux/check-ssh.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
It returns to the prompt, i can see with PS there's a ssh session logued in.

Everything should be ok on my side, I don't get why it fails with the plugin with:

I wonna have a look on this issue ,-)
From the current svn code the ssh-test functions do look like here :
Code:
##############################################
# Check ssh comunication for addon #
##############################################
if ( Enable_Startup_Addon == 0):
# We have a ssh configuration that should work ....
# But should working and working properly are two diffrent things ,-)
state_ssh = OSCheckSSH()
if (state_ssh == 1):
GUIInfo(0,__language__(33321))
if (__verbose__ == "true"):
GUIlog ("please do configure ssh-server for login without any passwords")
GUIlog ("This addon do not start until ssh communication is working properly for the current user")
GUIlog ("Addon do exit now ...")
Enable_Startup_Addon = Enable_Startup_Addon + 1
And the test istself is very basic ....
Code:
#########################################################
# Function : OSCheckSSH #
#########################################################
# Parameter : none #
# #
# Returns : #
# #
# 1 Test failed #
# 0 Test successfull #
# #

def OSCheckSSH():
global __configLinux__
global __verbose__
if (os.path.exists(__configLinux__[39])):
os.remove(__configLinux__[39])
OSRun( "check-ssh.sh ",True,False)
time.sleep(2)
if (os.path.exists(__configLinux__[39])):
return 0
else:
return 1

This code depends on a few things .....
the user from the settings (example : xbmc) can start any ssh-command without any password.
It does execute the shell-script "check-ssh.sh" and does wait for 2 secounds.

Could you try to increment the value time.sleep(2) to time.sleep(4)
inside the function "OSCheckSSH".
In a normal case the 2 secounds should be fine and the file do exist.
May your envirmont does need more than the expected 2 secounds to finish
the operation.
I try to implement a new parameter for this setting.
