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

[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 [email protected] Where webos_rsa is the key file downloaded from http://192.168.1.13:9991/webos_rsa inserted the dev mode password and worked

Hello, could the IP address of the TV changed? Or installation doesn't work at all unless you're running the app as root?

Yes, The IP address of the TV changed, as a result I changed the connection settings in the WebOS-Dev-Manager UI and anayway I couldn't sideload or open a terminal. When I opened the app with sudo and re-added the device it let me do anything, and the next time even without executing WebOS-Dev-Manager as root it was possible to me interacting with the TV. That is the reason why I think it is a OpenSSH issue that got updated and by default now doesn't allow by default to use ssh-rsa for negotiating the key pair. You can still do that but with sudo.
