Umm. As I said, this isn't my computer but a friend's. What are you looking for in those files? Isn't this an easy bug to nail: some bit of code somewhere needs to look at /proc/cmdline and Do The Right Thing. If that piece of code is missing then how are those files going to help? :s -- Kerne

Hmmm?!?? :s The installer created an unbootable system. That's a bug IMHO. Not only is it a bug, it is also a problem. The live-CD based installer has lots of helpful screens about which options you should choose if your system doesn't boot. Grub doesn't. This creates a problem for someone wh

This is with a fresh install of hardy. Hmm. I'm definitely being prompted for the key password regardless of whether the server accepts it. In fact the server doesn't accept any authorized keys because the authorized_keys file doesn't exist there. I should say this is just after logging in on t

Public bug reported: I ssh to lots of different servers. On some servers I use password authentication. On some servers I use server:~/.ssh/authorized_keys and RSA keypairs to login. For obvious reasons my private key stored in ~/.ssh/id_rsa is protected with a passphrase. This all used to wor
