Thank you Larry, sorry for the late reply (holidays). I'm still struggling with the same problem. Here is the whole error- message (I translated the German parts) commiting a Change in a Latexfile with Emacs VC from Ubuntu 10.04:
"""Login: <https://xyz.googlecode.com:443> Google Code Subversion Repository Password for »myLinuxUsername«: Login: <https://xyz.googlecode.com: 443> Google Code Subversion Repository Username: svn: Transmission failed (Details folllow): svn: MKACTIVITY from »/svn/!svn/act/ 87b61f4b-1512-4235-82d2-6541103d5e74«: Authorisation failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https:// xyz.googlecode.com)""" I did not change anything in my ~/.subversion/servers file, so everything is commented out. In my ~/.subversion/config file I have something like this: [groups] # group1 = *.collab.net myProject = https://xyz.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ # myProject = https://xyz.googlecode.com/ did not work either ### Information for myProject: [myProject] # http-proxy-host = proxy1.some-domain-name.com # http-proxy-port = 80 # http-proxy-username = blah # http-proxy-password = doubleblah # http-timeout = 60 # http-auth-types = basic;digest;negotiate #uncommenting this did not work # neon-debug-mask = 130 store-plaintext-passwords = yes #don't care about secutity in this case username = myGoogleCodeUsername Authentication should use myGoogleCodeUsername instead of myLinuxUsername and prompt me for a password (?) So my (very basic newbie) question remains: How do I configure subversion on Ubuntu 10.04 to be able to authenticate to a GoogleCode Repository? Thanks for any help.
