Launchpad itself

unable to push code from MacOS 10.5, ssh problem?

Asked by Sharad Shanbhag

Hi,

I'm trying to push an initial branch of code to launchpad.

I've setup the ssh keys and use the launchpad-login bzr command successfully:

$ bzr launchpad-login sshanbhag --verbose
Launchpad user ID exists and has SSH keys.
Launchpad user ID set to 'sshanbhag'.

I then try to push the working branch to launchpad:

$ bzr push lp:~sshanbhag/tytology/release_1.0

A window pops up and asks for a password. However, when I provide the password I used when creating the ssh key, login fails and I receive this message:

Permission denied (publickey).
bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.

the permissions on the id_rsa.pub file are:

-rw------- 1 sharad staff 402 Aug 18 14:21 id_rsa.pub

any suggestions to resolve this issue will be most welcome!

thanks.

if you are using different ssh keys please check your ~/.ssh/config

mine looks like that for launchpad:
## Launchpad key
Host bazaar.launchpad.net
  User thopiekar
  IdentityFile /home/thopiekar/.ssh/id_rsa.1

Thomas,

thanks for the response. I had tried what you suggest already and it didn't solve the problem I was having.

As of today (25 Aug, 2010), things are working. I did two things, but did them simultaneously, so I cannot say which action solved my problem.

1) I generated a new ssh key using dsa encryption (instead of rsa encryption that I was using originally) and uploaded this key to launchpad. I also modified the ~/.ssh/config file to reflect this change. The instructions for this I adapted from here: http://wiki.openlp.org/Configuring_SSH_Keys_on_Linux_and_Mac_OS_X

2) I followed the tip given here ( http://blog.jbglenn.net/2010/03/how-to-add-ssh-private-key-to-apple.html ) to add passphrases from ssh to the Apple Keychain

Then:

$ bzr launchpad-login --verbose
Launchpad user ID exists and has SSH keys.
sshanbhag

$ bzr push lp:~sshanbhag/hpsearch/testrelease

The authenticity of host 'bazaar.launchpad.net (91.189.90.11)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 9d:38:3a:63:b1:d5:6f:c4:44:67:53:49:2e:ee:fc:89.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Warning: Permanently added 'bazaar.launchpad.net,91.189.90.11' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

Created new branch.

Success!
