ssh doesn't work with XUbuntu 22.04

(related: Ubuntu 22.04 SSH the RSA key isn't working since upgrading from 20.04 / SSH and Telnet timing out. Ubuntu 22.04 lts but the solution provided doesn't work)

Hi all,

ssh works from home. I can ssh to my laboratory, push to github.com+ssh, etc...

Nevertheless, I installed XUbuntu-22.04 on a new computer and ssh doesn't work for this machine.

After reading Ubuntu 22.04 SSH the RSA key isn't working since upgrading from 20.04 , I added HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa and PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa to ~/.ssh/config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config , restarted ssh sudo systemctl restart sshd.service but it still doesn't work (see below).

I don't know much things about ssh so I have no clear idea of what I'm doing.

Here are a few outputs:

$ openssl version

$ sudo systemctl restart sshd.service

what am I missing ?

EDIT

I also tried too add the values in sshd_config + ssh_config.

Telnet doesn't work too.

$ telnet my.host 22 
Trying IP...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

This error means that the connection can not be established between your local and remote server. You can use some tool to double check if you can connect to the port on remote server.

If that is the case, you should check it from your connection level first. The ssh key/password exchanges hasn't started yet.

If you can ssh to my.host from another server, that means the sshd service running on my.host is good. You should check it from network layer to see why this server can't connect to it.

It might be related to network firewall or network ACL. Those are the rules which defines the client ip address which can access the server. The cloud provider like AWS also has this feature.

You can continue only after this connection issue is fixed.
