[SOLVED] can't ssh from local PC

[LittleNooby]

Hi,

My problem is :

Code: Select all

The authenticity of host '192.168.1.55 (192.168.1.55)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is ea:09:8e:fb:fb:3e:ee:ba:57:e0:52:16:e7:e2:36:54.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.55' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
xbian@192.168.1.55's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
xbian@192.168.1.55's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
xbian@192.168.1.55's password: 

I can't connect either from terminal (bash) with Ubuntu or from putty [fatal error] (windows 10). I could do it in the past so I really don't understand.
But I can connect from juicySSH (android) or directly onto the pi (not ssh).
I can't possibly have the password wrong. I even changed it to the simplest thing ever and I did try to write it on screen before just to be sure.
I'm not using fail2ban
I don't want to use my PI with a smartphone and the keyboard layout of my pi isn't right so I can't really use it directly and I'd need a SSH access to change the layout. And, what the hell, I can't get an easy way to change the keyboard layout when it should be the easiest thing ever, and I'm not speaking about kodi, just the console.

I have a raspberry pi model B with XBian.


It's driving me mad, please help,

ssh has changed so that a root [uid(0)] user can't login without a key pair.

You'll need to update your /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow password logins. Or better create a key pair and add your public key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Thank you kind sir.

I solved my problem thank to your answer. As I didn't know exactly how to do it, I found and used this tutorial : http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html (except that I couldn't used ssh so I just used a memory stick to move public key to the host).

I really don't know why but I had to use the USB key as well. I was required to enter the Pi password which to my knowledge at that moment was empty.
