ssh: unsupported key type "OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY"

[psyhomb]

Using GitHub identity to share a session does not work for me!

Version: Teleconsole 0.4.0

SSH key pair was created with following command (without passphrase) and public key was successfully added to GitHub account:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f .ssh/$github_user_key

Session was created by running:

teleconsole -i $github_user

When I try to join a previously created session I'm always encountering following error:

teleconsole -vv -i ~/.ssh/$github_user_key join $session_id

Teleconsole: joining session...

If I try to use public key, which btw does not make any sense but I had to try it out 🙂:

teleconsole -vv -i ~/.ssh/$github_user_key.pub join $session_id
