login with ssh key to KVM server about mist-ce HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi Steve,

this error indicates that you try to add a KVM cloud, but provide an invalid username/ssh key combination. Please make sure the combination is valid.

If you specify a valid user/key, but the user has no rights to the libvirt daemon running you are going to receive a different error this time: "Make sure libvirt is running and user X is authorised to connect". Usually the user needs to be root or priviledged user in order to connect to libvirt

If you are running a local installation of mist.io, you can perform some debugging by running cloudpy:

user@user:~/Desktop/mist.io$ ./bin/cloudpy 
Python 2.7.4 (default, Sep 26 2013, 03:20:26) 
In [1]: from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver; driver = get_driver('libvirt')
In [2]: c = driver('kvm-host', 'root', 'path_to_ssh_key')

if you provide the correct credentials (user/ssh key) for a user on kvm-host that can communicate with libvirt, then this will not raise any exceptions. Provide the same credentials on mist.io's add cloud menu

Cheers,
Markos
