bzr+ssh keys in windows?

Thought I might as well just try it to see what happens.

bzr checkout lp:~jjesse/keep/keep-doc1 prompted me for this username and password. Upon typing in the password for the key I created via puttygen and stored at c:\program files\putty\ I think I might have a bug. would be willing to change this to a bug report if that is correct.

Here is the output of .bzr.log

I think the problem is the check for 'C:\\Users\\Jonathan/.ssh/known_hosts' which will never exist in a windows system. Note how you a combination of \ and / mixing the Unix/Linux way and the Windows way. Like I said this may be a bug and I would be more then willing to open up a bug.

Thanks,

You need to be running the putty ssh key agent called Pageant. It usually adds an icon to the system tray on the bottom right. Then you right click on the agent and say that you want to add a key. You browse for the file and add your password.

The reason it is failing is because Launchpad doesn't let you use passwords for authentication, you have to use an ssh-key. When you enter a password at the prompt, that is just a regular password, not the password for your key.

Pageant, putty, and bzr don't know where to find your key unless you add it to pageant manually.

John,

Thank you very much for your answer to this question. It works just like I want it to.

Hi John,

I was not knowing from where I can get the pageant,
finally googled and got it is the part of Putty it self.

Thank you very much.

Same problem on Windows. I was a bit confused since I was able to branch and all in Linux and didn't need to configure anything else. I strongly suggest that a link to Pageant as well as information as to why you need it on Windows clients be added to https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair

Thanks for the info :)

use puttygen.exe pageant.exe

i am new here and i followed instructions but when i used pageant.exe - it shows access denied.
i ran the command bzr branch lp:libmysql
i want to download mysql connector/c
thanks in advance

Can you please post the entire error you're getting?

If you're getting ssh access denied errors check
https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair

i have followed the link u just posted. i registered my ssh key. added the key in pagenat.exe and kept running it in tray. i logged in with the command bzr launchapd-login <username>

now i run the command "bzr branch lp:libmysql" and then it shows the error

C:\Windows\system32>bzr branch lp:libmysql
Connected (version 2.0, client Twisted)
bzr: ERROR: [Error 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\users\\himanshu\\appdata\\local\\te
mp\\tmpnoadoa.pag'

C:\Windows\system32>

i tried a lot its not working. and bzr launchapd-login command is also not working now.

hi,
 i think you're hitting bug 820805. there are some suggestions there as to what to check or try.

thanks martin for help.
gen users keep their bzr directory in \program files\ and actually when we run both programs by normal privs then
bzr says access denied for creating access and then we elevate and hit the bug!
thanks i just changed to another directory in another drive.

now its not showing any error message but it is just working

D:\devdirs>bzr branch lp:libmysql
Connected (version 2.0, client Twisted)
Authentication (publickey) successful!
Secsh channel 1 opened.
_

and cursor is waiting for last around 30 mins.
!

maybe there is a firewall between you and launchpad?
