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

            @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 ?
