A0.Step 4: I cannot access the SVN repository using Ubuntu from Virtualbox

[Ravpreet Setia]

I am using my computer from home, so I am not under any uwaterloo
networks. I installed ubuntu on virtualbox, and I am stuck on step 4 of
assignment 0.

On terminal, after typing out the required command, I get warned that
the authenticity of the host linux.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca cannot be
established, and I am asked if I want to continue. I type 'yes' and then
terminal produces the line:

***@linux.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca's password:

I enter the same password that I use for putty to access the newsgroup,
but terminal just keeps asking for my password.

The directory cs246 now contains a new directory called 1119, but there
is nothing in the new directory.

Anything I should do, or am doing wrong?

Thanks.

Enter the command

ssh ***@linux.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca

It will ask for your password. Does it let you log in?

Yeah, it tells me the last time I have logged on and from where.

Then something's not right. Bring it to one of the course staff and we'll
look at it.

It worked when I changed the command to:

svn co svn+ssh://***@linux.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/u/cs246/pubrepo/1119

I thought if my ubuntu username was the same as my questid, that there
would be no problem, but apparently not. I got this new command from a
post on piazza.
