RPC ERROR: Invalid Request invalid base64: Invalid padding when trying to add ssh key

General

I created my ssh key in linux. When I try to add it to start9 I get RPC ERROR: Invalid Request invalid base64: Invalid padding. I tried including -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----. I also tried without and get the same error.
