Tabbed SSH connection manager for GTK+ environments.
Make sure you have installed the following packages (Ubuntu):
On Ubuntu you can install them with the following one-liner:
sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 expect python-vte libglade2-0 python-glade2
Once you have dependencies installed, it's as simple as placing gnome-connection-manager directory to a location of your choice and typing in shell:
python gnome_connection_manager.py
The application will read your LANG
environment variable and load appropriate translation file (if your language is
supported), otherwise it will fallback to english.
If you want to start gnome-connection-manager with specific language start it with LANGUAGE parameter followed by language code, like so:
LANGUAGE=de_DE python gnome_connection_manager.py
If you want to run the application from menu/launcher you can create .desktop file in your /home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications directory. Assuming you placed gnome-connection-manager source in directory /home/USERNAME/.gnome-connection-manager/ your .desktop file could look like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Gnome Connection Manager
Comment=A simple ssh connection manager for gnome
GenericName=Connection Manager
Exec=/home/USERNAME/.gnome-connection-manager/gnome_connection_manager.py
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/USERNAME/.gnome-connection-manager/icon.png
Categories=GTK;GNOME;Network;
Replace USERNAME in examples above with your username.
