As a friendly tip for anyone else who:
- Just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.10
- Use Mysql Workbench a lot
- Use the built in TCP/IP over SSH to connect to remote servers.
There’s a big chance that you saw this:
Problem
In Ubuntu 14.10 the package python-paramiko was upgraded to 1.15. The package is used by Python apps to create ssh connection. In version 1.15 it seems that paramiko has problem with some servers due to a mismatch in what protocols to support. End result is that your MySQL Workbench cant connect using an ssh connection
Solution
Downgrade to python-paramiko 1.10 that was shipped with Ubuntu 14.04.
Howto
Run these two commands in the terminal.
$ wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/167351511/python-paramiko_1.10.1-1git1build1_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i python-paramiko_1.10.1-1git1build1_all.deb
Excelent topic.
Solved my problem!!!
Thanks!!!
This didn’t work for me. After installing the .deb paramiko 1.15.1 was installed according to pip:
$ pip freeze | grep paramiko
paramiko==1.15.1
Mysql Workbench was still failing with the same error. Downgrading with pip did the trick:
$ sudo pip install -U paramiko==1.10.1
Peter, sorry to hear that my solutio didn’t work and thanks for sharing what worked for you.
Problem solved.
