For me, networks are a closed book, so unfortunately I don’t get what you mean
I tried the steps you described:
- Disabling wifi doesn’t change anything
- I tried with the command
ifconfig enxa6e4ca642714 192.168.2.14
you proposed above (interface replaced by the actual device name, seems to change everytime I connect the phone). I get aConnection refused
as answer, it doesn’t complain a missing route. I don’t think it tries to connect to another device, as the device only shows up withifconfig
as soon as I connect my phone. - Success! I had a look in the thread you linked and in the third post (https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/q-had-to-setup-new-my-linux-laptop-now-cant-ssh-to-sailfish-phone-no-more-what-can-i-do/16687/3) it was proposed to use the
-v
option for ssh. Although this should only turn on the verbose mode, as far as I understand, after a lot of debugging output I suddenly was asked to confirm the fingerprint. As soon as I confirmed, I was asked for the password of my phone and then I was logged in
I don’t know why that worked (in the line above I tried the same command without -v), and in fact I can’t really say what worked. The strange thing is: withinfonfig
I see my phone connected as192.168.2.14
, because I tried to set a static IP. But the successfull connection was with ssh into192.168.2.15
.
This is all very confusing (at least for me), but now I can ssh into my phone
