Private Key Authentication Failure

[Aijaz-Qureshi]

Debug output

https://gist.github.com/Aijaz-Qureshi/e77f5029f5b1b80a9ba5712d515de179.js

Expected behavior

It shouldn't show the Authentication Failure because I've downloaded the vagrant.pub and uploaded it to my box.

Actual behavior

I am able to login via Ubuntu Desktop and Vagrant ssh, but I am getting the Private Key Authentication Failure errors.

Here's the GitBash output from the project folder:

Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot. This means that
Vagrant was unable to communicate with the guest machine within
the configured ("config.vm.boot_timeout" value) time period.

If you look above, you should be able to see the error(s) that
Vagrant had when attempting to connect to the machine. These errors
are usually good hints as to what may be wrong.

If you're using a custom box, make sure that networking is properly
working and you're able to connect to the machine. It is a common
problem that networking isn't setup properly in these boxes.
Verify that authentication configurations are also setup properly,
as well.

If the box appears to be booting properly, you may want to increase
the timeout ("config.vm.boot_timeout") value.
