Special configuration steps for RasPi 3?

Question

I have a RasPi 3 on which I'd like to run OSMC. I have problems to login via ssh; I tried Raspian (on another SD card but the same Pi), and ssh won't work there, either (yes it is enabled, and WiFi connection works like a charm).

Now I suspect the problem might be caused from an incompability: I think the images were made for RasPi 2, and there have been hardware changes. I executed apt-get update and apt-get upgrade successfully and rebooted, but this didn't help. Are there special configuration steps necessary to adjust to RasPi 3?

Update, requested information:

# uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.4.13-v7+ #894 SMP Mon Jun 13 13:13:27 BST 2016 armv71 GNU/Linux
# cat /etc/debian_version

# cat /etc/os-release

The Pi is connected via WiFi (DHCP, talking to a Fritz!Box 7170), which - as far as I'm concerned - works flawlessly, including DNS. I don't have any problems to ssh to my Pi 1B which runs OpenElec.

Please note, this question is not about my ssh problem but about special measures for RasPi 3.

Answer 1

Are you sure sshd is running?

run systemctl status sshd and check that it is

If it's not, one way to enable it is using raspi-config

• run raspi-config
• select advanced options
• select ssh
• select yes to enable it

Answer 2

Since this question is not about my ssh problem but about special steps for RasPi 3, I think I found the answer. In this question I stumbled over the topic rpi-update. Thus, for Raspbian, the following steps updated my firmware:

# apt-get install rpi-update
# rpi-update
# shutdown -r now

Sadly, this didn't solve my ssh problem; but that was not the question.
