Re: [PLUG] Ubuntu SNAP versus limited memory

I'm curious: do you have any idea what the root cause might have been? Was it the choice of desktop environment for example? (Certainly Gnome isn't the most lightweight environment.) I'm curious what Free Geek moved to instead? (Legitimately curious, not getting defensive at all here.) - Paul

Something sounds suspicious or pieces to the puzzle are missing. Changing the passphrase on a private key shouldn't change anything on the public key side. Could it be that someone slipped a different public key in your authorized_keys file? - Robert On Wed, Dec 14, 2022 at 12:15 PM Rich

[PLUG] ssh pass phrase issue

I assume that when I want to log into my web site, and am asked for my pass phrase, it's my local host asking for the pass phrase. Is this correct? If so, please help me find why, since yesterday, the pass phrase is rejected three times before the remote site kicks me off. I've use this pass
