Could not unlock ssh private key. Wrong password or password not available for cron.
Asked by

ubuntu 12.04 with KDE
I get the error message "Could not unlock ssh private key. Wrong password or password not available for cron." when trying to create a profile. (It's unclear why cron is relevant as I unticked the box related to it when I got this error, but the error persisted.)
I ran:
sudo -i
ssh-keygen -t rsa
ssh-copy-id -i /root/.
ssh REMOTE-USER@HOST # completed successfully
exit
Please note that my remote-user is NOT root.
Then I ran BIT as "kdesudo -c backintime-kde4" and attempted to setup a profile, and ran into the above error.
ssh-keygen -F <remote IP address>
returns the key.
Please advise.
Thank you
