Dear friends,
I am trying to set up an SSU connection, but so far, with no success at all. I have enabled the Developer Mode, and hence I have access to the built-in terminal. Moreover, I’ve got Termux installed as well (supported by a fully-adjusted microG).
In order to avoid any confusion, I’ve set all my passwords the same, let’s say “12345678” (digits only). Why? To eliminate any speculation about introducing wrong credentials during the installation process.
So what have I done so far?
- Enabled the Developer Mode
- In the built-in terminal, checked whether sshd is running, and started the SSH service
systemctl status sshd
devel-su
systemctl enable sshd
systemctl start sshd
systemctl status sshd
- And this is where everything falls apart: trying to set up the SSH connection over Wi-Fi in Termux:
ssh nemo@my_ip_over_here
After that I’ve accepted the host key by typing “yes”, and by provided my Developer Mode password (which in this case, is the same as the “SSH remote-connection-password” and my Jolla Account password).
Result: Auth failed, or Permission denied, please try again.
I am clueless. It cannot be the “SSH remote-connection-password”, since I’ve updated that many times and made sure, that it is what it should be. It cannot be the Developer Mode password either, since it’s accepted without problems when running devel-su in the built-in Terminal. Hah! It cannot even be the Jolla Account’s password, since that let’s me log in as well without problems, and is exactly the same with the rest of the two!
So pleae, help me out guys and dolls! I am more of a Jolla symphatizer than a real whiz at coding. But yeah, it happens in Termux where my password is being rejected (or where I keep getting those error messages for some reason, anyway).
Thanks a lot for your kind help!
