[07:57] <s-fox> Hello.
[07:57] <bioterror> hi fox
[07:57] <bioterror> how may I help you
[07:57] <bioterror> !ask | s-fox
[07:57] <ubot2> s-fox: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[07:58] <bioterror> ;)
[07:58] <s-fox> bioterror,  You could do me a favor by understanding how rude that is.
[07:59] <bioterror> did not mean to be rude :(
[08:04] <philipballew> bioterror, dont worry, It was not rude

[19:39] <razorandnotso> hi, i need some help, i'm trying to set up ssh on my desktop
[19:39] <holstein> razorandnotso: hey
[19:39] <razorandnotso> i'm trying 'ssh -v (user)@localhost' and it gives me permission denied (publickey)
[19:40] <razorandnotso> it says debug1: trying private key: ... id_dsa and id_ecdsa but not id_rsa
[19:40] <razorandnotso> i dont' have id_dsa
[19:40] <razorandnotso> i installed it, but i think i deleted it, and there are no id_dsa files in ~/.ssh
[19:40] <holstein> razorandnotso: are these machines local?
[19:40] <razorandnotso> holstein, localhost? is local?
[19:40] <holstein> i would suggest logging in with the password
[19:40] <holstein> make sure that connection is possible
[19:41] <razorandnotso> so, ssh -p (user)@localhost ?
[19:41] <holstein> otherwise, you are troubleshooting both the connectivity, and the key permissions
[19:41] <holstein> razorandnotso: local, like in your hous
[19:41] <holstein> e
[19:41] <holstein> on your local network
[19:42] <razorandnotso> holstein, yes, sorry, i understand that. i'm if my username is razorandnotso, i'm typing 'ssh -v razorandnotso@localhost'. i'm on my desktop
[19:42] <razorandnotso> holstein, how do i log in with the password?
[19:43] <holstein> razorandnotso: you actually have to change the config to *not* allow passwords
[19:44] <stlsaint> razorandnotso: you need to go the machine that you have openssh-server setup on and edit the ssh_config to show to use password
[19:44] <holstein> stlsaint: its set to passwords out of the box right?
[19:44] <razorandnotso> so: i have openssh-server and openssh-client installed
[19:45] <holstein> razorandnotso: you should make sure you can simply ping each other
[19:45] <holstein> ssh server and client
[19:45] <razorandnotso> holstein, interesting, how do i do that
[19:45] <razorandnotso> ok i got it
[19:45] <stlsaint> holstein: yes
[19:45] <razorandnotso> it's fine
[19:46] <razorandnotso> i did some configuration following various guides, and they all say set up keygen etc and turn off passwords
[19:46] <razorandnotso> so i probably did that
[19:46] <stlsaint> you must have if ssh is telling you (publickey)
[19:46] <holstein> razorandnotso: which is fine, and arguably the way you should, or want to set it up in the future
[19:46] <holstein> but, for troubleshooting...
[19:47] <razorandnotso> ok, thanks
[19:50] <razorandnotso> ok, so i went to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and i changed it to PasswordAuthentication yes
[19:50] <razorandnotso> do i have to restart the daemon?
[19:50] <holstein> prolly... the server side
[19:50] <razorandnotso> ok, i restarted and it's working
[19:51] <holstein> in what way? you are able to connect ?
[19:51] <razorandnotso> i said ssh razorandnotso@localhost
[19:51] <razorandnotso> (with -v option) and it asked for my password and allowed me to log in
[19:51] <holstein> thats a start.. try from another box on your network...
[19:52] <razorandnotso> works from another box
[19:52] <stlsaint> so issue solved?
[19:53] <razorandnotso> ...well, the issue is that i don't know why the rsa key doesn't work
[19:53] <razorandnotso> this just verified ssh server/client is working?
[19:53] <stlsaint> razorandnotso: thats cause you probably dont have it in your ~/authorized_keys file
[19:54] <razorandnotso> so, go back to sshd_config, turn off password authentication then
[19:54] <stlsaint> razorandnotso: does your ~/.ssh folder show any keys?
[19:54] <razorandnotso> id_rsa, id_rsa.pub
[19:55] <stlsaint> ok well you need to copy the contents of that id_rsa.pub into the authorized_keys file
[19:55] <razorandnotso> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys has id_rsa.pub
[19:56] <holstein> i would read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[19:56] <stlsaint> razorandnotso: and that is your key that you made on your computer?
[19:56] <razorandnotso> yes
[19:56] <razorandnotso> should i make another pair?
[19:56] <urlin2u> holstein, can I pm you
[19:56] <holstein> well, i did read that... for a long time... then i finally got it working :)
[19:56] <stlsaint> razorandnotso: no
[19:57] <holstein> urlin2u: sure
[19:57] <stlsaint> razorandnotso: pastebin the contents of your sshd_config
[19:57] <holstein> urlin2u: thanks for asking :)
[20:01] <razorandnotso> hang on
[20:03] <razorandnotso> ok, using the guide, i did "ssh-copy-id <username>@<host>" and it prompted me for my password and seems to like it
[20:04] <razorandnotso> but i just tried sshing again, and it says 'agent admitted failure to sign using the key.' and prompts for the password
[20:04] <razorandnotso> (PasswordAuthentication no)
[20:05] <stlsaint> razorandnotso: what guide are you usign and again pastebin the contents of your sshd_config
[20:06] <razorandnotso> ok, hang on
[20:06] <razorandnotso> stlsaint, the guide is what holstien suggested https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[20:11] <stlsaint> wow, i ask for a pastebin and they leave....smh
[20:11] <stlsaint> razorandnotso: what happened?
[20:12] <razorandnotso> stlsaint, uh, i tried to copy the contents by opening gedit, but i have an error with gedit... first suggested solution is to logout and log in
[20:12] <razorandnotso> stlsaint, but i just tried sshing and it seems to work fine...
[20:12] <razorandnotso> stlsaint,  i'm going to try from another box again
[20:13] <razorandnotso> seems to work
[20:14] <stlsaint> ok
[20:14] <razorandnotso> gedit's working too, although i don't need to post the contents now
[20:38] <ektos> I'm having trouble getting ubuntu to recognize a secondary video card. I've added another device section in xorg.conf with the correct pci bus id, but It still won't show up. Could anyone help me?
