can't ssh

[winnetouch]

Hy.

I've just successfully installed openelec on my rp2 and am having trouble ssh-ing to it. I use cyberduck or fillezilla (I'm no to good with a comand prompt). I enter the ip adress and the default username and password (root, openelec) and the dang thing won't connect. I even tried setting up a static IP adress and set the DNS servers to google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Nothing...

What am I doing wrong?

I don't remember where I saw it, but there is an setting somewhere (in rpiconfig?) to enable/disable ssh. I'd google "enable raspberry pi ssh" and see if that points you to the right place to check that setting.

[winnetouch]

Tried that... All I found out was that the SSH is already installed and enabled on my pi. Is there a way that the router could be at fault?

It's enabled by default in Raspbian, but OpenElec may be different. Are you sure your sources were referring to OpenElec?

Is it configured to reject root connects? Did you try

ssh -vvv root@ip

to see why it thinks it isn't working?

I tried the same thing with retropie. Doesn't work. Openelec doesn't have a comand line. I can go find the IP adress in openelec and input the default username and password but it doesn't work. Is it weird that both openelec and retropie use the same IP?

EDIT: I tried ssh -vvv root@ip in retro pi.

This is the result

OpenSSH_6. 0p1 Debian-4+deb7u2, OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013

The ip address belongs to the Pi, not the operating system. If you shutdown the Pi the router 'remembers' the ip address that the Pi has (how long for is a setting on the router). Starting up the Pi with a different system on a different SDcard will mean the ip address is the same.

I tried ssh -vvv root@ip

It seems that you typed 'ip' rather than the ip address (not your fault, it is an abbreviation that is commonly used, and we tend to expect everyone to know this). Type

Code: Select all

ssh -vvv root@192.168.0.1

- replace the 192.168.0.1 with the correct ip address

Sorry, I'm fairly new to this.

I tried that and a long string shows up with debugs and at the end it asks me for a password. What password? I tried my network password and it doesn't work. I tried the default retropie password for ssh. All that happens is:

debug3: packet_send2: adding 64 (len 57 padlen 7 extra_pad 64)
debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply
Connection closed by UNKNOWN

But all of this still doesn't solve my problem with openElec. I can't access the comand prompt in that and that's the whole point why I want ssh access in the first place.

See http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/OpenELEC_FAQ
User ID and password for openelec are root / openelec

[winnetouch]

I get that and I tried entering it in cyberduck just as I stated above. It doesn't work.

So... I gave up and reflashed my memory card... Lo and behold. Now it works. Looks like I screwed up the settings somehow.
