      @clyde When I run this command it displays a long output which is impossible to manually copy. Is there a certain part I should Copy.

            @chaska04 You ssh server on the retropie is broken - how did you install the system ?
            Try reinstalling ssh on the retropie:

            sudo apt-get install --reinstall openssh-server

              @mitu I installed it with an image from retropie website. In late 2017. Trying the command now.

                @chaska04 Sorry, No Luck. I ran the command and re-installed then rebooted.

                  @chaska04 Then try a complete uninstall then install again

                  dpkg -P openssh-server
                  apt-get install -y openssh-server

                      @mitu It says the operation requires SuperUser Privilege.

                        @chaska04 said in SSH Only works as a guest:

                        @mitu It says the operation requires SuperUser Privilege.

                        Add sudo before each command.

                            @chaska04 What's the actual error and when does it occur - during the uninstall or the install ?
