We've had another user get tripped up by this. I'm increasing the priority...

[kmeyer: I am getting "ValueError: Invalid private key string"
9:48pm justincappos_: ahh, are you using a ssh key or similar?
[kmeyer: yeah
9:48pm kmeyer: is it different?
[anthony1: ya, ssh keys dont work yet
9:49pm kmeyer: ok, what should I use to make a public/private key pair in the meantime
[justincappos_: You can generate them using seash.py or by registering for a new account on seattlegeni and asking it to generate them for you
9:49pm anthony1: I used the ones that I was able to generate in geni when I made my account
[kmeyer: I uploaded my ssh public key to geni when I made my account
9:50pm justincappos_: oh, shoot. That's a bug we only found this week
[9:50pm] justincappos_: but you're the second person who triggered this

This should also happen for the customized installer creator.

I'm working on this. I think I've fixed it but need to test.

This was addressed in r2290. There is now a check that the public key is valid. The deployment script (deploy_geni.py) was also updated because the .py file is now a mix file.
