Hello, can you please run this command and report back the results?

ls -ld /

Thanks

Hi Johan,

This looks like this is somewhat related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/45234

Are you using the standard init script and configuration for sshd? try running the following to make sure your configuration is correct:

sshd -t

Once that's done, you can manually create the directory it needs:

sudo mkdir /var/run/sshd

I'm marking as invalid because this looks like a configuration problem. If it's not a configuration issue, please change the status back to "new".

[Karl Stenerud (kstenerud)]

Update: There's a second person with the identical report. Please try the above fix first and report here if it does. If not, we'll have to dig deeper.

Hello Arnold,

I thank you for your answer.

It looks like openssh-server was not installed.

Then, I installed it and I have this message after doing a "sshd -t" :
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key

The folder /var/run/sshd exists but have nothing inside it.

Hope this will resovle the issue.

Regards

Johan
