      Hello everyone. I used the setup guide for preparing RetroPie on a minimal Ubuntu (18.04.2) image. I just wanted to see if Sega Saturn, N64, and a few other systems would run faster compared to the Pi 4B. I was able to add emulators and get sound working, but I ran into problems getting SSH to work. I first tried looking for a Raspberry-Config section under the Configuration menu, but I did not find it there. Upon looking up an article on Google on Enabling SSH on Ubuntu, I used sudo apt update, followed by sudo apt install openssh-server. From there, I typed sudo systemctl status ssh to see if it was actually running. The command line showed that it was active. When I entered ssh username@ip_address, it asked me to enter my password, but then I remembered that the tutorial setup an automatic login for my username. Should I go back and reset the original password? I attempted to enter my username and left the password section blank when I entered the details in Firezilla, but it gave an access denied error. If anyone can give me an idea of what I should do next, please let me know. Thank you.

        But that doesn't mean your account doesn't have a password. Doesn't Ubuntu have a default user and password ? What's your installation user called ?

          My installation user is hiryu. I think the default password is odroid. I guess that means I should login as root.

            @Striderx99 So why don't you try with the user/password you have (hiryu/odroid) ?
            EDIT: if you have access to the root account, then you can change the password for a user using the passwd command - see https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/passwd.1.html.

              I used sudo passwd hiryu and it allowed me to reset the password as that user. I checked the credentials with Firezilla and was able to login and see the folders. As always, thanks for the quick response.
