You must have issues with your configuration files and therefore the removal (and new installation) of SSH APP is not working.

You need to first get a clean removal and then reinstall from App Store.

thanks, for some reason I have had issues with installing it on the app store. It sometimes it doesn’t download and sometimes it downloads but it doesn’t say it has been installed?

I just tried to reinstall it

Exact same issue I had, like I mentioned earlier … I will probably not be the only one.

Hi,

From the console, can you please try:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ssh-app-osmc

Thanks Tom.

Thanks Tom,

I did as instructed. Ssh is now showing that it is installed but I still can’t connect. I can ping the device and connect to my phone so I know it’s on the network. As I mentioned before I have other devices that I can ssh into, no probs.

Hi,

From a client device connecting to the vero4k (if your on Windows, it may easier to run this from one of the rpi’s), could you please issue the following command:

ssh -v osmc@192.168.0.103

Thanks Tom.

Hi Tom,

A fresh install of the previous version did the trick. It all worked straight away
