Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forums and to Linux in general. I'm not even sure if I'm posting this in the right place because, while it's a specialized problem I'm experiencing, my level of linux knowledge is far from specialized.
Anyway, here's what I'm trying to do:
I have two laptops, one of which is a Toshiba Satellite L-500 with a hard install of Kubuntu 14.04 and the other of which is a Samsung 305V4A running a Windows 7 Home Premium host and a Kubuntu 14.04 VirtualBox VM. Over the past few days, I've been trying to configure an SSH server to run on key-based authentication between my main Kubuntu system and the VM on the other laptop. Prior to my attempt at configuring key-based authentication, I'd already been successful at downloading and installing the openssh-server package on both systems, setting the the VM to "Bridged" mode, and SSHing into it from the Toshiba.
However, ever since I tried to configure key-based authentication, I notice that the VM displays the "Booting system without full network configuration" message upon start-up. When it's finally booted and I click on Firefox, it just says "server not found." I've read threads both on this forum and others from people who have had similar problems but none that were quite the same and none of which provided any solutions. As per one suggestion, I tried running the dmesg | grep eth0 command in the VM's terminal window just to diagnose the problem and noticed a line that read "e1000: eth0 NIC Link is Down."
Also, when I run the command sudo ssh 192.xxx.x.xxx from the other computer and enter my password when prompted for it, I get a message that says "Permission denied (publickey)." Now, as far as know, I was able to successfully trade public keys between the two systems with the scp ssh_host_dsa_key.pub 192.xxx.x.xxx command. I was under the impression that, once key-based logins was successfully configured, I could SSH between the two systems without having to enter a password.
What exactly am I doing wrong? How do I restore my VM's internet connection and properly configure key-based SSH logins between the two computers? :confused:
Any help would be most appreciated.
