bazaar checkout error

Question

I am in folder where I have rwx rights and I tried this

bzr branch bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/%2Bbranch/openobject-addons/7.0/

I gave 'yes' when they asked to store public key

But the following error message occured

`Permission denied (publickey). ConnectionReset reading response for 'BzrDir.open_2.1', retrying Permission denied (publickey). bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.

Its a public repo, So there shouldn't be any access right problems. Is there a problem with the link? How do I verify this? `

Answer 1

This can happen if your launchpad user is not setup correctly in Bazaar. Check the output of:

bzr lp-login

If the output is not your launchpad user OR it is but your ssh key is not authorized, then that will cause the problem you are having. Fix your username and upload the correct ssh public key.

Explanation

Launchpad tries to authenticate even read-only operations IF you have told Bazaar a Launchpad username, for example:

$ bzr lp-login jelmer
$ bzr info lp:bzr
Permission denied (publickey).
ConnectionReset reading response for 'BzrDir.open_2.1', retrying
Permission denied (publickey).
bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.

"Permission denied", because I am NOT jelmer, and he certainly did not authorize my key.

So first check the Launchpad username you told Bazaar and change it if it's not you, for example:

$ bzr lp-login  # ain't gonna be me...
jelmer
$ bzr lp-login janos-gyerik  # yeah that's me!

If it's the correct username, then visit your settings page on Launchpad and make sure your public key is listed there: https://launchpad.net/~YOUR_USERNAME

Or, you could remove your Launchpad username setting with this command:

bzr config --remove launchpad_username --scope bazaar

However, when you run bzr commands on Launchpad branches you will get a warning if you haven't set a Launchpad username. (Which is ok, you can just ignore it if you don't want to write to Launchpad.)

Answer 2

I was able to branch it fine now with your command, maybe the version of bazaar that you are using is too old. Another thing that is sometimes a problem is corporate firewalls that don't allow ssh out.
