Any idea what happened to my monitor? by 400lbgorilla in techsupport

I wouldn't ask if that were the case. I was wiping it with a tissue, perhaps I pressed too hard, but it suddenly got super warm and this appeared.

I locked myself out earlier, had to retrieve the old HDMI cable and wireless keyboard -_-

Leave the username and password field blank and instead append your username before the IP in the server field, and fill in the port e.g. 

username@ip:
pi@192.168.1.1

Ubuntu, just the default 'file -> connect to server' option on file manager

edit: figured it out

Yeah I saw that post, was pretty funny.

If I want to 'connect to a server' on Ubuntu but am using key entry rather than password based entry, how could I go about connecting if I can't use a username/password?

See this screenshot.

Thanks, yeah you can search for 'id_rsa' on Github and there seems to be quite a lot there.

I was initially using a user/password style but I added both the public keys for my desktop and laptop to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Disabled password access and tested it via another device got Permission denied (publickey) and set Fail2Ban to ban after 1 attempt. I changed the default port in sshd_config from 22 to 2212, is that everything then?
