2016-05-18 20:20:28 Andrea Bernabei description Environment: Xenial 16.04 Summary: Keys created by QtCreator can't be used with phablet-shell. Note: this is probably a more generic ssh problem. How to reproduce: 1) Install Ubuntu SDK (I'm using QtCreator 3.5.1 based on Qt 5.6.0, from SDK's experimental PPA) 2) Tools->Options->Devices->Add a generic linux device 3) Select "password" as auth type and fill in IP and username, then click Next and Finish 4) Click on "Create new" next to "Private key file:" 5) now remove .ssh/authorized_keys on your ubuntu phone/tablet 6) run phablet-shell. It will read the newest key from .ssh (which, at this point, will be the one we've just created) and copy it to .ssh/authorized_keys on the device 7) phablet-shell will fail to connect, returning error sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation QtCreator creates a 1024bit RSA key, although I could NOT reproduce the problem using a key generated with "ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 1024". It seems all keys created by QtCreator are unusable to connect to the device using phablet-shell (or more generically ssh) https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2568 This could be somehow related openssh-client: Installed: 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu1 Environment: Xenial 16.04 Summary: Keys created by QtCreator can't be used with phablet-shell.
