Hi,

 

I knew these days the intel devcloud were made a change to the infrastructure, and I followed all the steps the forum posted, it still doesn't work.

 

Firstly, I followed these commands, and then showed the permission denied,

Fernando_Mo_0-1656063232560.png

 

I tried to solve above poblem, then I redownloaded my accessing document and reintalled it in Cygwin, using the command $chmod 600 <devcloud-access...txt, and config> it doesn't work as well. the whole processes were following below,

 

$ rm -r .ssh/

$ bash ~/Downloads/setup-devcloud-access-154409.txt

Appending SSH connection configuration to /home/Momo/.ssh/config
Creating the private SSH key /home/Momo/.ssh/devcloud-access-key-154409.txt
Important: this file is your access key, keep it safe like you would a password.
Done! Now you can access Intel DevCloud by running ssh devcloud or, if you are behind a proxy, ssh devcloud.proxy

$ ssh devcloud

$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/devcloud-access-key-154409.txt

Hi,


Thank you for posting in Intel Communities. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. As DevCloud has migrated to new SSH server, some of devcloud users are still facing this issue. We are currently looking into it and will get back to you soon with an update. We will connect with you through private email/message to get your DevCloud user ID.


You can access Jupyter notebook through the below link. Please scroll to the bottom and launch jupyter notebook. https://devcloud.intel.com/oneapi/get_started/


Regards,

Alekhya

I am seeing the same "guest@ssh.devcloud.intel.com: Permission denied (publickey)" error after regereating config and ensuring I am using the new key. Please message me as well so that I can send you my userid. Thanks.

@Fernando_Mo @DanDaMan 

I cannot confirm the issues that you're seeing.

I was able to successfully connect to Intel DevCloud using three different methods from my Windows laptop:

  1. Cygwin
  2. Windows OpenSSH
  3. Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL2.

I have successfully removed the old fingerprints for ssh.devcloud.intel.com, and for its corresponding IP 12.229.61.118, and I have successfully added the new fingerprints when prompted to do so.

 

Looking at the screenshot I'm going to guess that the error is somewhere else. Technically our SSH upgrade does not require our users to reinstall Cygwin, nor reconfigure their SSH settings. I would recommend reinstalling Cygwin and reconfiguring SSH from scratch. For this purpose we provide automation scripts at the following links:

 

  1. Install Cygwin
    https://devcloud.intel.com/oneapi/documentation/connect-with-ssh-windows-cygwin/
    https://devcloud.intel.com/oneapi/static/assets/install_cygwin.bat
  2. Configure the SSH connection
    https://devcloud.intel.com/oneapi/documentation/connect-with-ssh-linux-macos/

Please give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Good luck!

I can confirm this seems to be working correctly now. I think this must have been a backend fix, as it works now without any changes on my end.

Hi @DanM @AlekhyaV_Intel @DanDaMan @Dan_P_Intel 

 

I can login in with another account of Intel Devcloud, the method is following below,

Finally this account (u139xxx) was login in successfully via this scheme.

 

However, for the problem account (u154xxx), it still didn't work by the same method as above.

Yes, as the red and bold sentence said, this account is alway denied. I didn't reinstall my cygwin, just reconfigure the account script as showing above.

 

@DanDaMan I hope it can help you a little.

Hi everyone,

 

Regarding with the user account u154xxx as mentioned before, I tried it in terminal of Ubuntu 16.4 OS, it also shwn me the permission denied,

 

$ bash ~/Downloads/setup-devcloud-access-154xxx.txt

Done! Now you can access Intel DevCloud by running ssh devcloud or, if you are behind a proxy, ssh devcloud.proxy

or the other option as showing below I also tried, but it didn't work as well.

I'm not sure if it's random account would be occurred this issue, because the account u139xxx is all ok whatever Ubuntu or Windows Cygwin. It's so confusing for me. anyway, it's also so lucky for me because I can work with one of accounts.

You are seeing a different error than the "guest@ssh.devcloud.intel.com: Permission denied (publickey).." which is what I was seeing. Also your encryption type seems different (I see ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:/Dlip01tdMyRmhMDc870Z4Uk7AancwwoTnbb0EZajK0. )

If it's only happening in Ubuntu 16.04, I suspect your SSH version may be too old and may not support the encryption types that devcloud requires. You might want to try with an up to date version of SSH and a clean ~/.ssh directory in case there was something funky in your configuration.

Good luck!
