Enable Ssh



SSH service in openSUSE / SLES is provided by the openssh-server package which is automatically installed but not enabled during installation. It means that SSH service does not automatically start during system boot and you will not be able to log in to your machine via SSH even though it is already installed.

You can enable SSH service during installation of openSUSE and SLES at the Firewall and SSH section on the Installation Settings screen.

For this you'll have to set the options to the followings before clicking the Install button:

  • SSH service will be enabled

If you missed the option during installation or simply just need it later, you can manually install and configure the necessary at the terminal.

The Remote - SSH extension also contributes a new icon on your Activity bar, and clicking on it will open the Remote explorer. From the dropdown, select SSH Targets, where you can configure your SSH connections. For instance, you can save the hosts you connect to the most and access them from here instead of entering the user and hostname. Enabling SSH (Secure Shell) allows remote connection to the Raspberry Pi. This provides a means for adding roms, changing configuration, updates, and other convienient procedures by using SSH and SFTP clients to connect to the Raspberry Pi. To install and enable SSH on Ubuntu follow the steps found below: 1. Open the terminal either by using the CTRL+ALT+T keyboard shortcut or by running a search in Ubuntu Dash and selecting the Terminal Icon. Next step is to enable systemd service sshd to make sure that SSH daemon will start after the reboot: $ sudo systemctl enable sshd Once the SSHD service is enable use once again the systemclt command to start SSH server: $ sudo systemctl start sshd Once ready check the SSH server status using the following command: $ sudo systemctl status sshd. To enable SSH password authentication, you must SSH in as root to edit this file: /etc/ssh/sshdconfig. Then, change the line. PasswordAuthentication no. PasswordAuthentication yes. After making that change, restart the SSH service by running the following command as root: sudo service ssh restart Enable Logging In as root.
