Platform detail (平台详情)

What steps will reproduce the bug?(重新问题的详细步骤)

Cannot parse privateKey: Unsupported key format

What should have happened?(期望的结果)

When I try to configure electerm to connect to my oracle VM using a private, key this message appears: "Cannot parse privateKey: Unsupported key format".
This doesn't happen if I use the normal if I use the normal terminal using "ssh ubuntu@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -i ssh-key-2020-10-07.key"

Would this happen in other terminal app(是否能够在其他同类软件重现这个问题)

This doesn't happen if I use the normal if I use the normal terminal using "ssh ubuntu@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -i ssh-key-2020-10-07.key"

I don't remember very well, maybe I generated it from ORACLE CLOUD.
Furthermore I use this key to successfull connect to VM using windows terminal and macOS terminal.
