LG webOS SSH Doctor

SSH on your rooted LG TV stopped working? SSH Doctor finds out why and fixes it from the TV itself, with just the remote.

It's a TV app for the webOS Homebrew Channel. It runs as root through the Homebrew Channel, not over SSH, so it still works when SSH is completely broken.

Quick answers

• Default login on a rooted TV with the Homebrew Channel: user root, password alpine, port 22.
• Added a key and now alpine doesn't work? That's on purpose: the Homebrew Channel turns the password off once a key is in authorized_keys. Open SSH Doctor and choose Go back to password login, or see Troubleshooting.
• "Remote host identification has changed"? Check the fingerprint SSH Doctor shows on the main screen, then run ssh-keygen -R YOUR.TV.IP.
• None of these problems needs a factory reset.
