### Please describe the problem. Using assistant via xfce's "Internet -> Git annex" menu item, trying to connect to an ssh server fails ### What steps will reproduce the problem? Use xubuntu 13.04 and git-annex ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex version: 3.20121112ubuntu2 xubuntu 13.04 ### Please provide any additional information below. if I "sudo apt-get install ssh-askpass", this gets resolved. I think this should be fixed in the ubuntu repository's program dependencies. Also if I run "git-annex webapp" from the terminal, this doesn't happen because it will ask me for the password in the terminal. [[!format sh """ # If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here. # If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log Failed to ssh to the server.
