Hi Jason, thanks for taking the time to file a bug report, and I'm sorry you're having trouble.
The sshd -ddd needs to be run as root to be able to listen on port 22. Also, an output from your laptop of ssh -vv your.desktop.address Will help to debug this issue. ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874518 Title: ssh fails after upgrade to 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/874518/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
