Hello all.  For reasons I do not understand SSH does not seem to be automatically starting at boot.

my ssh files are NOT zero

root@OuterRim:/boot/config/ssh# ls -la
total 96
drwx------  3 root root 8192 Jan 30 11:41 ./
drwx------ 10 root root 8192 Jan 30 20:05 ../
drwx------  2 root root 8192 Jan 30 10:58 root/
-rw-------  1 root root 1373 Jan 30 10:58 ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw-------  1 root root  600 Jan 30 10:58 ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
-rw-------  1 root root  505 Jan 30 10:58 ssh_host_ecdsa_key

-rw-------  1 root root  399 Jan 30 10:58 ssh_host_ed25519_key
-rw-------  1 root root   92 Jan 30 10:58 ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub

-rw-------  1 root root  564 Jan 30 10:58 ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
-rw-------  1 root root 3415 Jan 30 20:05 sshd_config

no ssh process seems to be running

root@OuterRim:/boot/config/ssh# ps aux |grep ssh
root     26789  0.0  0.0   3984  2224 pts/0    S+   20:12   0:00 grep ssh

I installed the SSH Config Tool and it sure enough shows SSH Stopped

 

If I click Start on SSH Config Tool SSH starts and the service is accessible but it does not survive reboot

 

I am unsure of the proper way to make sure SSH starts at boot.  Any help is appreciated,thanks

Is SSH enabled in Settings - Management Settings?  Also if issues with this continue, then uninstall that plugin and try again with just the base OS to see if SSH works

Yes it is enabled.  I installed the plugin after I started experiencing the issue.  Since this is a fresh install, and I am eager to get it going, I just created a new USB and no longer having the issue.
