ssh disabled be default

Orange Pi 5 plus. 

It seems that in the 'edge' kernels, ssh is  disabled by  default.

Since HDMI doesn't  function this is a problem.

I used the debugging  UART and after setup I got the message "ssh.service is disabled"

I enabled the service and all is well.

Any reason why ssh would be disabled?

Here is the partial boot log

Starting ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server...
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
ssh.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
ssh.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Failed to start ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server.
ssh.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 1.
Starting ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server...
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.

 

Not sure what to do as keys have not been generated yet.

Thanks, Bill

have you tried to run dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server so a fresh bunch of keys is being generated?

Seems like for some reason key generation fails on first boot....

After first boot and initial setup and login, I can enable and start the openssh server with no problem.

I'm not sure how generating a set of new keys would help.

This happens with numerous images. 

Armbian_24.5.0-trunk.429_Orangepi5-plus_trixie_edge_6.8.6_minimal.img

Armbian_24.5.0-trunk.429_Orangepi5-plus_trixie_vendor_6.1.43_minimal.img

Among others.

Legacy image with 5.10.160 kernel does not have this problem

 

Regards

A while ago I debugged the ssh problem and added some comments in this thread here. 

 

 

 

I don't remember if I used bookworm or trixie. Seems to me a timing issue or in which order things start. 

For now, whenever I do some dev work, I just do either another reboot after the first setup or restart the sshd service.
