I keep trying to push to launchpad (or even connect via SSH), I keep getting an error:

Launchpad user 'tay' doesn't have a registered SSH key
Permission denied (publickey).

Thing is, I DO have a registered SSH key on launchpad. How do I fix this?

  • How did you register your ssh-key. What ssh software are you using. – zaonline Aug 10 '15 at 00:38
  • Do you have the matching private key installed on the system you are trying to connect from? On Linux your private key should go into the `~/.ssh` folder. – NZD Aug 10 '15 at 03:09

    I have the proper private key. Conencting to Github with the same key pair works perfectly fine. As for my software, I'm using OpenSSH. – Kookerus Aug 10 '15 at 18:46

  1. You need a RSA key i.e. your private key should be ~/.ssh/id_rsa. I had a problem because my key was DSA i.e. id_dsa. You can generate it with: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "youremail@example.com"
  2. Ho to your Launchpad account and edit SSH key https://launchpad.net/~yourusername/+editsshkeys
  3. Add contends of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub here
  4. You can try to connect with ssh: ssh -v yourusername@git.launchpad.net and if connection was successful it returned exit status code -1
