gnuinos-5 gsshaskpass missing

good day

My back ground is arch/arco and deian crunchbang++ 11/12. that may make me dangerious!!
I'm tring to get away from systemd, crunchbang++12 doesn't run as smouth as 11 did installed on the same computer.

i have installed:
gnuinos-5.0.0-daedalus_2024.06.01-ob-runit_amd64.iso

among others

gnuinos seems to be missing a file:
gsshaskpass

looked in the dir:

/usr/bin/gsshaskpass ls -la
bash: /usr/bin/gsshaskpass: No such file or directory

looked for the package with apt:

apt show gsshaskpass
N: Unable to locate package gsshaskpass
N: Unable to locate package gsshaskpass
E: No packages found

but it is clearly been programed in:
~/.config/openbox/menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openbox_menu xmlns="http://openbox.org/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://openbox.org/                 file:///usr/share/openbox/menu.xsd">

				</action>
			</item>
	</menu>
</openbox_menu>

Re: gnuinos-5 gsshaskpass missing

Hello:

Welcome to Dev1.

... is there any way to fix this ?

Hmm ...
Have you asked at gnuinos about this?

The Devuan Daedalus (stable) repository has a similar package. ie: similar in name and most probably in function.

~$ apt list | grep -i sshaskpass
--- snip ---
ksshaskpass/stable 4:5.27.5-2 amd64    # 'k' instead of 'g'
ksshaskpass/stable 4:5.27.5-2 i386     # 'k' instead of 'g'
~$ 

See here.

--- snip ---
Description-en:
interactively prompt users for a passphrase for ssh-add
A front-end for ssh-add which stores the password
of the ssh-key in KWallet.
--- snip ---

But gsshaskpass (as you have found) is not in the Devuan repositories.

Notwithstanding, it can be found here.
It was the only hit I got by looking it up with the Google engine.

Gsshaskpass
gsshaskpass is a gui dialog for ssh-agent.
To use it set SSH_ASKPASS to the gsshaskpass bin.

export SSH_ASKPASS=~/bin/gsshaskpass

Dependencies
gtk v3.10 or greater.

Does not appear to be a *.deb package, it has to be built from source.

There's one important note at the gnuinos web page which you should be taking into account:

--- snip ---
As in the devuan scenario, gnuinos package repositories are exclusive as well, that is to say they
shouldn't be mixed with other apt-based repositories, including Devuan, Debian, Ubuntu and the like.
--- snip ---

It would seem that gsshaskpass does more or less the same thing ksshaskpass does but I cannot speculate further.
I'd say the people at gnuinos may have the answer to your question.

Best,

A.

Hello:

Apparently so.

From what I can see his last post was on 2024-07-06, over a month ago.
Drop him an email, he'll show up eventually.
Maybe he's on vacation. (?)

Best,

A.
