SSH Only works as a guest [SOLVED]

[mitu]

@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

[ChasKa04]

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

[ChasKa04]

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

[mitu]

@chaska04 Then try a complete uninstall then install again

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

[ChasKa04]

@mitu Ok

[ChasKa04]

@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]

@mitu It says it ran into openssh-server while processing (as an error)

[mitu]

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

[ChasKa04]

@mitu Uninstall.

dpkg: error processing package ssh
depending problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
openssh-server

[mitu]

Try this:

sudo apt-get -y purge  openssh-server
sudo apt-get -y install openssh-server

[ChasKa04]

[ChasKa04]
