Opening WebOS dev Manager as root required to negotiate ssh key pair with the TV #361

@Peppix-007

Device Type

Linux

Dev Manager Version

1.99.14

Model

OLED65G16LA

webOS Version

6.5.1

Rooted

No (with Dev Mode)

Bug Description

When I add a new device everything seems go to flawlessly, but when I want to sideloading or open a terminal it says "host refused". The only way to get around this is open by terminal webos-dev-manager as root (that means typing: " sudo webos-dev-manager" and adding the device here. Consequently the next time I will have to do what ever operation on the TV everything will be functional even with the app opened as a normal user. Furthermore I Have to manually import the IPK file, the GUI frontend just opens as a blank popup

Reproduction Steps

Just try to add a device and open an terminal session without root privileges on the PC

Expected Behavior

it should work even without root privileges, anyway I think it is problem related to the ssh client which by default with standard privileges didn't let me use ssh-rsa, that kind which is employed for negotiating the keys with the TV. Tried with the following terminal command:
sudo ssh -i webos_rsa -p 9922 -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -oPubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa prisoner@192.168.1.13
Where webos_rsa is the key file downloaded from http://192.168.1.13:9991/webos_rsa
inserted the dev mode password and worked
