The error message says that this host key has changed: /home/windl/.ssh/known_hosts:54 As you say the host is a new hardware and a new OS, this is expected. Just remove that key. And the message also says: You can use following command to remove the offending key: ssh-keygen -R host -f /home/windl/.ssh/known_hosts Did you try this ? By the way, it doesn't look like a tramp problem, you should get the same error outside Emacs with ssh in a terminal. Hoping this may help, Bruno > > Kind regards, > Ulrich
