[ubuntu-studio-devel] SSH key generation, WAS: Re: wily in gedit bottom of page appears and disappears

[Grant Frank Burton]

I think because of that gtk2 - gtk3.16 stuff in the Terminal Emulator I
don't know it's just a guess.

I notice some Terminal Emulator have gtk but the one that installs with
studio don't.

so here's what I did

>>
grant at grant-EJ215AA-ABE-w5230-es:~$  ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/grant/.ssh/id_rsa): id_rsa
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
41:42:80:35:ae:37:e8:84:ca:0b:34:69:f3:50:b5:ba
grant at grant-EJ215AA-ABE-w5230-es
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 2048]----+
|   o++o .        |
|  .....o         |
|   ...  .        |
| .oo.    .       |
|.B+.o   S        |
|=o=...           |
|o..E             |
|. .              |
| .               |
+-----------------+
grant at grant-EJ215AA-ABE-w5230-es:~$
>>>

there is nothing in (/home/grant/.ssh/) just an empty folder. The files are
in (/home/grant/)

so I guess I need to move the file into that folder to have a ssh right?
