Can't SSH into umbrel

Support and Troubleshooting
#1

I’m on the latest version 0.4.2. Using a Raspberry Pi 4 B and a 1TB SSD. Device is connected via Ethernet to router.

I did the initial setup, changed my password and synced the blockchain completely. Now I try to SSH from a Windows 10 machine (connected to router via wifi) using PowerShell and I get “Permission denied” always.

I tried logging via umbrel@umbrel, umbrel@umbrel.local, umbrel@[IP address] and using default password and new dashboard password.

I also tried using “ssh -t” as someone on reddit said it helped. But nothing works!

I couldn’t try connecting my laptop via Ethernet to the router since I don’t have the necessary adapter, but I think that’s not necessary?

Login into your node using SSH session is ONLY from another PC / device and is done using a terminal.
From windows 10, yeas you need to use Powershell.

You can reset your user data (only if you do not have any funds in that wallet/LN channels) following the instructions from Umbrel Troubleshooting Guide and start over.
No blockchain data is lost, only that you will be prompted to create a new user and save a new node seed 24 words.

Thanks, but I finally I figured it out.

The problem was I was pasting the password, and apparently ssh doesn’t like that. You have to type it out character by character for it to work. Now I can SSH. Thanks again, anyway!

Need help!
I am unable to connect to the node via ssh from windows 10.
Node is running fine.
I just cloned the ssd from 1 tb to 3 tb and now wanted to run ssh for growpart.
But keep getting permission denied when I try to connect (ssh) to the node.
Please help!

Did you check if you IP intranet changed?

#6

try some software like remmina to make ssh easier.

#7

Thank you for your response vnt. Now I am able to ssh in the node. Someone at twitter educated me to use ssh umbrel@umbrel.local (I was doing ssh username@umbrel.local).

But now I am facing another problem.

My new SSD is 3 tb in size, but it is not reflecting the new size (it still shows the old SSD size). In other words, now I am unable to growpart.

Any ideas?

I also can’t connect to my Umbrel from local network right now.
I was changing some lnd.conf before it happened.

It says:
ssh: connect to host 192.168.21.40 port 22: Operation timed out

I also can’t see mDns umbrel.local domain in my network.

Ping to umbrel machine is responding correctly.

#9

I ran ufw before, to open port for lnd, but probably I blocked ssh by mistake.

Can you guys help my to fix it?

I have physical access to rpi now and I have external keyboard, but I don’t have micro hdmi converter to connect display.

If I connect keyboard to umbrel, what should I type to login terminal?

[enter]
[password][enter]
sudo ufw allow ssh[enter]
[password][enter]
reboot[enter]

Will that be correct? Can someone check it for me please?

I guess it´s very hard help you design a new kind of node, here. That’s a matter for developers.

I am just trying to access ssh, but it is not working, and I don’t know why.
