ssh server fail to start.

Issue Description

When trying to enable ssh server by settings -> System -> Secure Shell. It fails to start the service.

host-shell systemctl status ssh.service
× ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service; enabled; preset: enabled)

dec 18 23:09:24 master systemd[1]: Failed to start ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server.

I remember that I tried some old way to get ssh server running before I found the setting in system. I guess that what ever I did broke something. Unfortunately I now can't remember what I did.

Steps to Reproduce

try to enable ssh server.
settings -> System -> Secure Shell

On what version of Vanilla OS this happens?

Found this with host-shell journalctl -xeu ssh.service:

The job identifier is 5480.

sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.

How do I create host keys?

host-shell ssh-keygen -A
