I know there are lots of topics like this, but I've tried everything and none have solved my problem.

I'm trying to connect from my desktop to my pi with ssh but I get permission denied, please try again. I tried ssh [email protected], ssh [email protected] (after creating it) and ssh [email protected]. The problem is: I can connect using PuTTy but cannot using directly the ssh from ubuntu, so:

  • ip address and password are correct (a can even PING this address)
  • I can connect with ssh from my pi to the pi with localhost, from my desktop to my pi with PuTTy, and from my desktop to my desktop with localhost
  • I changed the keyboard layout from my desktop to be the same of the pi
  • I'm using raspberry 3B+ so the problem is not the connection of 5GHz
  • I'm using the same network
  • I also Tried to connect from a pi to another, and didn't work.
  • I have enabled it from raspi-config

ssh -v [email protected]

  • This looks like a normal sequence and you appear to have a key mismatch /home/barth/.ssh/id_rsa. For whatever reason (which is unlikely to be the Pi) your password is not recognised. As you have provided insufficient detail we can't help. For what it is worth many of us don't use password and have installed publickeys on the Pi.

These lines:

debug1: identity file /home/barth/.ssh/id_rsa type 0
debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /home/barth/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1
debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /home/barth/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /home/barth/.ssh/id_dsa-cert type -1
debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /home/barth/.ssh/id_ecdsa type -1
debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /home/barth/.ssh/id_ecdsa-cert type -1
debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /home/barth/.ssh/id_ed25519 type -1
debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /home/barth/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert type -1

say ssh (i.e., your client) found one private key: id_rsa. All of the others were not found found (type -1).

Then these lines:

debug1: Trying private key: /home/barth/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Trying private key: /home/barth/.ssh/id_ecdsa
debug1: Trying private key: /home/barth/.ssh/id_ed25519
debug1: Next authentication method: password

say the client considered sending three different keys, but since it didn't have those keys, it fell through to trying a password.

Note that none of the 3 keys the client considered sending was the id_rsa file that was found.

So, you need to get these things in sync so that the client is offering a key that the server is willing to accept. You can use ssh-keygen to generate different kinds of keys.

  • But this is only true if PasswordAuthentication no is set in /etc/ssh/ssh_config or /etc/sshd_config.

  • Thanks, it works, but i had to clean up my keys before I set a new one. I had three other problems: 1st is that I had to set PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, 2nd: I had to add AllowUsers pi and 3rd: delete the AllowUsers pi in my raspberry Commented Aug 18, 2020 at 20:12
