Defaultuser@192.168.2.15: Permission denied (publickey,password)

Platform Development
#1

The SDK just stopped connecting to my XA2. I can’t make it work no matter what. I can normally connect via ssh from the same computer using anything else, e.g. from MSYS2 shell.

ssh defaultuser@192.168.2.15 works perfectly fine. sftp also works great. From literally ANYTHING else BUT the god damned Sailfish SDK, which out of nowhere now always shows defaultuser@192.168.2.15: Permission denied (publickey,password).

If I switch to normal (password authentication) then I can upload new key and device test runs successfully, but if I then switch to “specific key” authentication then again there’s the same error.

Can anyone please suggest what to do?

Edit:

After whole day of failed attempts to find a solution, I fixed it by brute force, i.e. by deleting - both on the phone and computer - all key files, every authorized_keys and known_hosts file I could find, restarting, and setting up everything anew.

So I don’t know what exactly caused it, but now it works again.

I´m suffering the same Problem and until now i haven´t keep it running with publickey, even when manually copy the pubkey to the device. Password-Option is missing on the QT-Editor.

I stay with the Emulator for developing.

Hey @fingus, try to do it the way eventually I did, i.e. from the device delete everything from the /home/defaultuser/.ssh folder, and then on your computer locate and delete authorized_keys and known_hosts files used by the ssh.exe command that you have configured in the SDK. Then reboot both and try to add the device to the SDK anew.

Its working with your steps. The Assistent just ask one time for the defaultuser-/root-Password and then never again, so here is maybe the Problem.
