Hi There,

A second issue on my DietPi. First one is TimeSync, not resolved yet!

If I ssh, from putty on a Win10 PC on the same network. I never get a prompt.

The message gets displayed around 30seconds after I enter the password, then no prompt.

At one point, putty will timeout.

journalctl -ex shows that the password is accepted and the session opened.

But no prompt… now after 7 minutes!

htop is showing my session and low cpu

Any thoughts?
