Hi lagson, Please enter “which svn” in console. The path printed on the screen is what you need to enter in the connection dialog box. Best regards, Jick ---

It prints nothing… and i looked for a svn executable file in the VP installation whithout success. Could it be that VP\_UML for Linux doesn’t have an integrated svn execution file? May i use another svn installation for communication with the server? best regards ---

Hi lagson, VP Suite includes only the Windows executable for SVN. For Linux and Mac, you have to use your own SVN installation in order to communication with the server. Best regards, Jick ---

Hi Jick, thanks for the response. I have now another problem using svn+ssh on Linux… When i now enter the correct svn path on my system, an error dialog is displayed with the message “login failed”. On window i resolved this problem by creating an environment variable named “SVN\_SSH” and gave as value the path to the file “TortoisePlink.exe” do you have any idea to solve it on linux? Thanks ---

HI lagson, There are several possibilities that causes it failed to login. Could you show me your login dialog, and send me the log file for further studies? You can find the vp.log file inside $vp-suite-install-dir/bin Look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Jick ---

Hi lagson, Thank you for your enquiry. Could you run the following: /opt/CollabNet\_Subversion/bin/svn --version and let me know about the result? Second, please make the SVN path pointing to: /opt/CollabNet\_Subversion/bin/svn see if this helps.
