Bug Description

On running phablet-shell on the terminal, it gave us an error "ssh-keygen: /home/username/.ssh/known_hosts: No such file or directory". It turns out that I did have ssh keys in my system. On running "touch /home/username/.ssh/known_hosts" it started working.

May be this should be automatically by phablet-tools before ending up with an error.

as a workaround (until a proper fix landed in the package) use these three commands, then pahblet-shell will work:

mkdir .ssh
touch .ssh/known_hosts
ssh-keygen
