I upgraded ubuntu to focal 20.04 and SSH was unable to negotiate with network devices I tried to ssh on.
Solution was found here, or simpy editing /etc/ssh/ssh_conf by adding following lines to the end of the file:

Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc
MACs hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,umac-64@openssh.com
KexAlgorithms diffie-hellman-group1-sha1,curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
HostKeyAlgorithms ssh-rsa,ssh-dss

I had some problems while downgrading so here are my steps.

Documentation is not really clear about this, so here are the steps.

1. from fxos, reformat system
   firepower-2110# connect local-mgmt
   firepower-2110(local-mgmt)# format everything
   All configuration and bootable images will be lost.
   Do you still want to format? (yes/no):yes
2. enter rommon and boot via tftp
   rommon 1 > address 10.86.118.4
   rommon 2 > netmask 255.255.250.0
   rommon 3 > server 10.86.118.21
   rommon 4 > gateway 10.86.118.1
   rommon 5 > file cisco-asa-fp2k.9.8.2.SPA
   rommon 6 > set
   rommon 7 > sync
   rommon 8 > tftp -b
3. everything is erased so you have to reconfigure your mgmt interface
   firepower-2110# scope fabric-interconnect a
   firepower /fabric-interconnect* # set out-of-band static ip 10.86.118.4 netmask 255.255.250.0 gw 10.86.118.21
   firepower /fabric-interconnect* # commit-buffer
4. download image (could not get USB to mount so I used ftp)
   firepower # scope firmware
   firepower /firmware # download image ftp://user@10.86.118.21/cisco-asa-fp2k.9.8.2.SPA
   check status:
   firepower /firmware # show download-task
5. install image
   look at version you want to install:
   firepower /firmware # show package
   firepower /firmware # scope auto-install
   firepower /firmware/auto-install # install security-pack version
   check status (wait for Update Software Pack Completed):
   firepower /firmware # show
6. configure ftd/initial configuration
   firepower /firmware # connect ftd

• In grub boot screen type “e” for edit, and search for line starting with linux – add “init=/bin/bash” at the end
  • linux /boot/vmlinuz-version root=UUID=hex ro quite init=/bin/bash
• Press CTRL+X to boot and execute following:
  • mount -o remount,rw /
• enter “passwd” to change root password (or passwd username)
• execute “sync” and make reboot

Nice guide here.

Very good explained here.
