ssh problems

Reported by xenoterracide | June 1st, 2008 @ 08:16 PM

git push origin master

buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes 4 than in buffer 0

buffer_get_int: buffer error

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

this problem only affect my user on my system but not my root account. To be honest I haven't been able to 100% discern where the problem is.

I've tried generating a new ssh key and copying it over but that doesn't help.

I'm hoping you will be able to help me locate the issue.

    I am also having this same problem...

    1. git push -v origin master

    Pushing to git@github.com:diclophis/siffd.git

    Permission denied (publickey).

    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    diclophis I thinkyour problem is unrelated. looks like you haven't upped your key or have the wrong key.

    I resolved my problem, I'm closing this, as I think the problem was in one of my .ssh files. I resolved it by deleting and recreating the directory.

    Indeed, I updated my .ssh/config to include this

    Host github.com

    Hostname github.com

    Port 22

    IdentitiesOnly yes

    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my-keypair

    TCPKeepAlive yes

    User git

    And it started to work...
