For reference to anyone coming here with this problem, when connecting to a remote sshd server you can find what host key algorithms the remote host uses by using -vv and check the debug output; look first for the *peer* server KEXINIT proposal (not the earlier *local client* KEXINIT proposal):
debug2: peer server KEXINIT proposal a line or two after that, you should see the list of host key algorithms the remote host is offering; if it contains *only* ssh-rsa then this bug is relevant. debug2: host key algorithms: ssh-rsa Note that by default many systems support multiple algorithms, e.g. you may see: debug2: host key algorithms: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ssh- ed25519 in this case, even though the remote host does offer ssh-rsa, it also supports other algorithms that jammy does support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1961833 Title: openssh 8.8 breaks login to Canonical servers Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: With 8.7p1-4 connecting to wendigo debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /home/jak/.ssh/id_rsa RSA SHA256:Dj1/l9g5RH00/wO7puC1WVxgpvmhmaQg3wEETwmOFPk agent debug1: Server accepts key: /home/jak/.ssh/id_rsa RSA SHA256:Dj1/l9g5RH00/wO7puC1WVxgpvmhmaQg3wEETwmOFPk agent With 8.8p1-1 debug1: Offering public key: /home/jak/.ssh/id_rsa RSA SHA256:Dj1/l9g5RH00/wO7puC1WVxgpvmhmaQg3wEETwmOFPk agent debug1: send_pubkey_test: no mutual signature algorithm Needs further investigation, but blocks people a bit right now To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1961833/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
