error message "Cannot read executable filename for process with id" using PuTTY plugin

Hi there,

I'm recently seeing the above mentioned error message when I'm trying to establish a connection via SSH using the PuTTY plugin. It shows different process IDs until it finally bails out after about 20 seconds and shows me with the Window Picker.

It is a fairly recent issue which has only started a couple of days ago.

Any ideas here?

Looks like Royal tries to find the Putty session for embedding the terminal, and searches every process ID for its name. But thats only a uqualified guess from my side

I can confirm this:

Cannot read executable filename for process with id 103272: Access denied

Sorry for the late response. No, I couldn't reproduce it because I didn't h ave access to a different machine. However, the issue hasn't resurfaced so far. So fingers crossed it was just a one-time incident, probably related to increased solar flare activity.

That's weird. I'm not able to reproduce the issue. Can you reproduce it on a different machine as well?

Okay, so the process IDs in question were MMCs. I closed all of them, and the last process ID was Fujitsu's DeskUpdate (the computer I'm using is a Fujitsu workstation). I closed that as well, and now I don't receive any error message at all, just a the Window Picker after a short while. Very strange!

How can we help you today?
