In Mageia 6, we have openssh-7.5p1 Since OpenSSH 7.0, the the ssh-dss (DSA) public key algorithm has been disabled by default, because it's considered too weak. http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.0 Most likely, the server you tried to upload your public DSA key to, no longer accepts such keys. Please try again with an RSA key. CC:

guillomovitch, marja11 A thousand excuses, it is mga5 who is in question. rsa works very well does it make sense to update mga5?

Yes, it is time to upgrade, but you might want to wait for the mageia 6.1 isos that we'll hopefully have within a few weeks, because there were already so many updates since Mageia 6 was released. Of course, upgrading with a Mga6 netinstall iso or in a VT with urpmi, after changing your Mageia 5 media to Mageia 6 media, is possible, too. Resolution:
