Oracle Cloud server refusing my key
I'm using the same key than yesterday but it doesn't work anymore, here's the error message : Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)
I haven't changed anything from yesterday, other than restarting my computer two times, and i've tried to login with powershell and bitvise but it does not change anything.

after some research i found out how to get more information (by using -vv)
and it's outputing this :Could not resolve hostname C:\Users\reque\OneDrive\Bureau\SSH key\ssh-key-2023-09-20.key: H\364te inconnu.
"H\364te inconnu" idk what's this
oh and "inconnu" mean unknown in french
the command i'm using is : ssh -i "C:\Users\reque\OneDrive\Bureau\SSH key\ssh-key-2023-09-20.key" [email protected]
and the server is running on linux shitee
when i'm trying to login as "root" it says "please login as the user "opc" rather than the user "root""
Can you access the ssh key at that path?
yes
it's the right pass
as i said i haven't modified anything
Like, if you pull up explorer.exe and type in
C:\Users\reque\OneDrive\Bureau\SSH key\
does it show up?yessir
Mind sending a screenshot of the explorer window?
sure
the one with the .key ?
And a screenshot of your ssh attempt?
:NODDERS:
X)
ok
here's everything
you can zoom in your explorer right ?
Powershell might not be able to access onedrive, try moving the private key (and the path in the command) to the C: drive, something like
C:\sshkeysit's the same problem on bitvise tho ?
you sure i try that ?
ok i'll try anyways it won't kill me
In your command with -vv, you'd need to move the -vv to after the path of the key.
ok
Might need to try and access the vm another way
i can maybe try on the oracle interface on the site web
you can maybe do a call so i can share my screen to you ?
if you can
I'm at work lol
okay
X)
thx for your time
let's see
where should i go ?
i can go see the interface of the subnetwork of the server if it's useful
Troubleshooting the SSH Connection
If you're unable to connect to a compute instance using SSH, follow these troubleshooting steps to identify common problems.
ok i'm gonna take a look at this
bruh
i think i found the solution
apparently they make regular keys rotations
and i'm supposed to get notified but i haven't got anything
i'm gonna change the key to see if it's that
looks like it wasn't the issue
tried with another ssd but it's not work either
Try bitvise
For windows
yep
like you sugested yesterday
but doesn't work either
Is ur server still up
On the ovh panel
yes
Can you ping the ip and get a response?
take a look at that:
what's the command to ping ?
Ping
yes but what do i put after ?
the ip ?
oh
did it
it says the waiting delay is too long
he received 0 packets
Something wrong with the connection then
subnet:
of the server
Doesn’t that console window on the top corner open a console window in browser
cloud shell
and code editor
it propose me that
you mean the console icon at the top right corner ?
No. That just means the host doesn't respond to ICMP requests.
His host is online and responding, otherwise he wouldn't get permission denied.
yep
maybe i can authorize myself from the online interface ?
but idk how

Maybe this can help with that

Sorry i'm reading everything but i can't even understand the half of what's it's asking me to do
so i've looked at it completly but it does'nt give any information about what a should do in that case
HEY
I think i maybe found a way to resolve but i need you help to get data on how to do some things
i need to edit a file
but i don't have access to the console from my pc because i can't connect
so i should connect from the console on the managing page for the server
but the problem is that i don't know what console i'm supposed to use
when i'm in one of those it always ask me a password
but i don't know where i can get this password
i've never heard of it or created one

ok
sorry to flood the tchat with alot of message but it's to keep track of what i should be doing to solve this problem
hope you understand
That's what the thread is for!
uh
this link is the first you send to me but it's not useful
No, I sent you to a specific part of the page.
oh
Well, it was supposed to.
because i don't see the part where it says how to get my password
i just need that
for now atleast
is it what you showed me ?
because it puts me at the top of the page
That's what I was trying to link to
okay
Oracle is like "yeah we'll give you buttons that link to a specific spot"
do they work"I never promised that."
ahah
no bro that's not what i need
but i'll search myself
No bro I'm pretty sure it is what you need
it's not the key that i need
it's a password to enter when i'm in the console
or i'm dumb and i don't understand
mb
Well the one under is shows you how to reset password
But
BUT
The ssh key reset is what will get you back in
okay
i'll try to follow what you say for now
Otherwise, the reset password is
Literally the next one in the list
"After you are connected with an instance console connection"
but i can't connect
how can i follow that ?
like, i need a key to connect, but to get the key i need the password
and to get the password i need the key to connect
wtf
X)
that's why i'm trying to get the password by other mean than the console, you see what i mean ?
okay i found a way to get the password
Boot into maintenance mode
let's see
ok
i'm doing a lot of things at the same time so it's confusing me sorry
No worries
Take your time
Discord is asynchronous communication, idc if you take a week to respond
👍
hmm
in the process to put maintenance mode it's asking to go back to the terminal
but idk what is it talking about
Have to have the serial console open
The web panel where you'd try and put in the password to opc
ok
huh
i tried to follow the instrutions but no menu appears
idk if i'm doing it well or not
i did strictly what it asked
Alright, what did you try?
ok
i did it
i need to do it one more time because i fucked up something
but dw i'm doing it
:NODDERS: :NODDERS: :NODDERS:
I believe in you
X)
i think i made it bug
it's been stopping for 2-3 minutes when it was doing it instantly before
i launched while it was booting up i'm stupid
is it broken now ?
i think i'll just wait for now
when you come back from work, is it possible for you to go on a call ?
i understand if you don't want to
oh
it's running again
huh
so i'm trying to create the new key but i don't understand how to do it
because for sure just copy and paste don't work i need to modify the names

it's not supposed to say that
Where are you seeing that? What step of what guide are you on?
i'm on this page
i'm doing like the guy in the video
and it's the first this he write
Are you on the cloud shell?
yep
The uhhh
The recovery area?
nope
it's not in the video
???
it's not asking me to go in recovery mode
i mean maintenance
Did you
mkdir .sshno
where did you see that ?
Step 2.
but i'm at step one
Of the link you sent
why the fuck is the video dans the page saying different things
i'll follow the page i guess
The video just skips that step
Mkdir just means "make directory"
Like, create the folder.
It already had the folder created, so it didn't need to make it
bruh
i'm doing the commands but nothing is showing
i'm restarting the cloud shell
AHHHHH
when i type "mkdir.ssh" it's saying command not found
You need a space before the
.
After mkdir
.i tried
doesn't work neither
oh
wtf
it worked i guess
i surely did an error previously
if it doesn't show anything it means that it works right ?
yay
it worked
ok
so now i have the public key
the public key and the private one are on the server
so what do i do now ??
i'm waiting for your instruction bc i don't want to fuck it up
idk where you live but in france it's 22pm so if you're only here later i will maybe be asleep.
I'll continue tomorow
ok i found my login for the console
so i'm using it to start the server
but idk how to setup the key i generated
