Connect additional PC to Spark with Nvidia Sync

I want to connect more PCs to one Spark. But i get a problem during nvidia sync setup - because Unexpected Errorssh: handshake failed: knownhosts: key mismatch
This Spark is already connected to an other PC with nidia sync.

How can i add an other pc to the same machine?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, you should be able to connect to the same Spark with different machines.
If you manually connected via SSH then you may be hitting an issue where you have conflicting hostname/ip in your knownhosts file. You should look in your knownhosts files and remove any entries that match the hostname/ip you are trying to connect with Sync. After that you should be able to connect with Sync.

It is actually not possible to connect to a spark with the same user account from a diffrent machine. As you can see in the picture. Tested on serveral PCs.

Hi db9979, just want to confirm do you still hit this error after removing any of the Spark entries in your known_hosts file?

on the new pcs there is no entry in known_hostfile

(2 new Windows PCs)

Hi db9979.

I have had the same problem. Looked inside .config/NVIDIA as much as I coudl, but finally it only worked to completely remove everything aorund nvidia-sync.

It was my case.

If it helps:

pkill -9 -f nvsync
pkill -9 -f "NVIDIA Sync"
sudo apt purge nvidia-sync
rm -rf ~/.config/NVIDIA/Sync
rm -rf ~/.config/nvidia-ai-workbench
find ~ -iname "*nvsync*" 2>/dev/null
find ~ -iname "*nvidia-sync*" 2>/dev/null
sudo apt install nvidia-sync 

We just released a new NVIDIA Sync update. Please update and let me know if you still run into this problem
