Permission denied (publickey)

Have you set your launchpad id as the lp-login for bzr? What do you get if you do `bzr lp-login`?

I believe I have. It says david-aspirix which is what I have as user id on launchpad

I have ubuntu lucid desktop installed in vmware fusion

This is an ssh + image configuration issue for bzr, not a bug. I think believe someone from the launchpad-code team has experience dealing with non-public ssh keys.

hm do you mean there could be something wrong with my ssh key?

I have followed the getting started guides on launchpad as well as the guides on launchpad on how to create pgp and ssh keys etc.

Hi David,

Please run this command in your vm and paste the output:

ssh -v bazaar.launchpad.net

thanks

Please run this command in your vm and paste the output:

ssh -l david-aspirix -v bazaar.launchpad.net

It's definitely an ssh issue: the "Permission denied (publickey)." in your error output is the problem.

Martin, Andrew,

David, this seems to indicate that the SSH public key you've put on Launchpad doesn't actually match the keys in your account. Perhaps you added the key from a different machine. Please add /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to your account.

I had the same problem. my .ssh directory was owned by root. I changed the owner and group to my user name and it worked
