You’ve set up SSH on your Debian SBC, and it connects fine. On the Lubuntu machine you’re running OpenSSH, the first client works perfectly. When you try connecting another device, an authentication prompt appears—meaning the password is required now. Check if your SSH configuration allows password-only login or adjust it accordingly.

The error means the server certificate has been updated since your last connection, likely after reinstalling.

They talked about it, but the folder isn’t present here.

Files and folders beginning with a dot remain hidden unless specified. Use Ctrl+H in the interface or navigate to .ssh in the terminal for visibility.

You're seeing an error because the directory doesn't exist in your terminal session.

known_hosts is a text file. If you can't locate /home/<user>/.ssh, it means you're not authenticated as that user with the ssh client (or it's set up differently).

This folder might be hidden in a different location or accessible through an alternative method. Let me check for you.

Running ssh-keygen with a specific server IP resolved the problem on the client side
