Forum Thread: Rescue-ssh.target Is a Disabled or a Static Unit

Yes me too. I tried anything, but I have the same issue. If you have resolved the problem, please let me know! However, this website is the best one on the web!

rm /etc/ssh/sshhost*
dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server

Same and how do i follow threads ?

First do this:
rm /etc/ssh/sshhost*

Then run this again:
dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server

Had this problem earlier and this fixed it

What do you mean by sshhost*

And how to type sshhost*

I tried many different variations and also went to file system> etc> ssh but found four or five different files named ssh host

Understood what you meant but still the same problem persists although this time it creates SSH2 EDCA key and SSH2 ED25519 key but after that again the rescue line

Me too someone help

this way still not solving the problem..
please someone help to solve this problem, i stuck on it too..

Oh I see now, what he meant is to remove all files starting with `ssh<underscore>host` inside `/etc/ssh/`

Hello. I had the same problem with the same message.....I formatted my sd card,and started over . I did just like the Null-byte YouTube video said. After I used to default login credentials . I right clicked the mouse and opened the terminal screen up. I typed apt-get update. It finishes getting the update.. I type apt-get upgrade it asked me to continue I typed y.. The Pi starts unpacking , after about 5 min the screen goes blank then the pointer , and curser flash Intermittently. I then restart the pi and it boots me into emergency mode.. That's where I am right about now... lol .. ....... I thought I could get around the static/ disabled line..

Hey there is a thread in reddit where tey explain the Prob.
reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/a68fhh/rescuesshtarget_is_a_disabled_or_a_static_unit/

Hello, i tried everything i could find online including what was sugested here and in the reddit post but nothing seems to work does someone have a working solution?

root@kali:~ rm /etc/ssh/sshhost*
root@kali:~ dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
root@kali:~ service ssh restart

Hi there, to remove all those blocking files use this:

find /etc/ssh/ -name "ssh_host*" -print

find /etc/ssh/ -name "ssh_host*" -delete

dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server

Hey mate, tried this, but it still gives the same error

I tried -print again, and apparently it only deleted a few files and left some...
Should I delete the remaining ones too?

Hi I followed this and looked like it was working as a load of text came up then at the very end finished with the same error! so im a bit lost now? it did something? but then back to square one with the error again? what should I do? thanks

after trying again first delete then print, I saw there were no files, so it deleted them for sure, but then after dpkg again it creates keys but then still at the very end gives the same message! so im really lost now! please help! im new to all this and im looking forward to learning a lot, just have to get this set up right first! thanks

Has anyone found a solution for this ?

Have you solved this problem? I tried to fix it but it was unsucess.
