Talk:Gerrit/Troubleshooting

when i run git clone ssh://qdinar@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/core.git mediawiki i get : " The authenticity of host ... can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is ....". i asked about this in irc and i got this answer: " this is the right fingerprint https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:SSH_Fingerprints/gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418 " " https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help%3ASSH_Fingerprints%2Fgerrit.wikimedia.org%3A29418&type=revision&diff=1908069&oldid=1872718 ". then i compared fingerpints and typed yes, enter. i think this may help somebody. (copied from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Wba935o4h49w537z ).

now, i think, i needed not to copy this here. editors of this page probably review discussions of gerrit tutorials and add topics from there to this page.

Thank you @Qdinar: - I have added https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Gerrit/Troubleshooting&diff=4657657&oldid=4602949 - can you read this and tell me if this is clear enough?  « Saper // talk »  20:28, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

yes, it seems clear to me, but it may be not clear to somebody

If you have some ideas how to improve the text, please feel free to edit it... don't worry if you make mistakes!

Good day! In the first steps I have written "yes" after $ssh -p 29418 gerrituser@gerrit.wikimedia.org but then it haven't been continued. So the next time I have had an error like this "debug1: No more authentication methods to try. ...@gerrit.wikimedia.org: Permission denied (publickey)." and I cannot find on your page how this problem may be solved. Two variants mentioned here are not devoted to this case.

@Фәрһад What is your user name for your Wikitech developer account, and which exact complete command did you enter (copy and paste, please)?

user:AKlapper (WMF), in wikipedia and other neighbouring projects my name is written in cyrillic script "Фәрһад". For gerrit it passed not, so I create another account with only latin letters "Faerhad". As it was written here I have made all the steps before this in step "$ssh -p 29418 gerrituser@gerrit.wikimedia.org". it always write "Identity added: .ssh/id_rsa (Фәрһад@F▒rhad)" but the next step don't pass.

@Фәрһад If you are following the Gerrit/Tutorial#Add SSH Private key to use with Git and if you literally entered "ssh -p 29418 gerrituser@gerrit.wikimedia.org" then you did not read the instructions which say "Replace gerrituser by your username".

Edit: Ah, and if you follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Troubleshooting#%22Permission_denied_(publickey)%22_error then you should replace "username" with your username.

I have found a mistake in previous steps... So now it has been improved. Thanks!
