git login issue from linux command line

[Robert Bradford]

We have recently moved to hosted bitbucket, now have ssh keys with no passphrase in place but when I try to do a git clone I get the following:

Cloning into  '<repository-name>'...

(gnome-ssh-askpass:26720): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
error: unable to read askpass response from '/usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass'

** Note I replaced the real repository name with <repository-name>

We do not use GNOME or any other GUI front end on this server, how do I get around this issue so I can clone the required repository?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rob! Can you run the below command and then try again?:

unset SSH_ASKPASS

You can also add the line to your .bashrc file.

Let us know if it worked for you!

Best regards,
