Comment 0 for bug 557364

Hi all:

I got running the Ubuntu Karmic Koala image from the store in my private cloud (I use UEC). When I try to connect it via ssh I got the next error: "Permission denied (public key)". If I try through putty, it reaches the instance and prompts me for a username, but right after inputting anything this message comes up "Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available".

I have run ssh -v and this is the result:

OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-6ubuntu2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007

Looking on the internet I found a post saying that you won't ever be able to ssh your instance because it doesn't have your public key. Could it be tha?

In case it may be relevant I also post the etc/ssh/sshd_config:

# Package generated configuration file
# See the sshd(8) manpage for details

# What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for
Port 22
# Use these options to restrict which interfaces/protocols sshd will bind to

Does anything occur to you?

Thanks
