      @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 ?

                        Try this:

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