Problems cloning a GitHub repo using Egit on Eclipse 3.6.2 Helios

Eclipse 3.6.2 Helios
Egit 1.1.0
Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot

ERROR: when adding public repo (on github) to clone, does not accept SSH key password (just keeps asking for it again and again)

SOLUTION: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=326526
Then add to your .bashrc:
export GIT_SSH=/usr/bin/ssh
(and reload it with a "source .bashrc")
If it still doesn't work, try re-creating SSH keys through eclipse (Prefs>General>Network>SSH2) and use those keys for authentication (you have to add the public key to github again)


ERROR: on commit:

Unhandled event loop exception
No more handles [MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME='/usr/lib/xulrunner-addons'] (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:

SOLUTION: Ensure you have sun java installed: http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/
Then install xulrunner-1.9.2 (NOT v2.0) manually by downloading it from here (you will need to navigate to your version of ubuntu first, if it is not 11.10 Oneiric):
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/i386?text=xulrunner
Then install with this command:
sudo dpkg -i file.deb
Then add this line to your .bashrc:
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.17
(and reload it with a "source .bashrc")



ERROR: on push:

fatal: cannot exec '/home/jack/programs/eclipse_v3.6.2/plugins/com.aptana.git.core_3.0.0.1303919605/os/linux/askpass.tcl': Permission denied

SOLUTION: just change permissions to 777

NEXT ERROR:

exec: 3: wish: not found

SOLUTION: http://sysadmin.circularvale.com/desktop-config/getting-git-working-in-aptana-on-ubuntu/
Basically install these packages: tk and python-tk
