It's not an error, it's an operation that it can't complete. It needs to ask you something, and has no interactive terminal to do so with.
If it's trying to ask you for a password, your noninteractive authentication (if any) isn't working correctly.
Or it may just be asking if you want to add the host to ~/.ssh/known_hosts. This can be fixed by ssh/scp/sftp-ing into the host by hand as the same user, and answering 'y' to the question so it doesn't need to ask it again.
If you can't login even by hand, there's some other problem.

SSH-ASKPASS-FULLSCREEN(1) General Commands Manual SSH-ASKPASS-FULLSCREEN(1)
NAME
ssh-askpass-fullscreen - A simple replacement for ssh-askpass written with gtk2
SYNOPSIS
ssh-askpass-fullscreen
DESCRIPTION
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
gnome-ssh-askpass is a GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not
invoked directly. It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display
is available). This happens auto-matically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro-
grams, for example.
In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, ssh-askpass-fullscreen should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass
ssh-askpass-fullscreen is a program that...
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables are recognized:
GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.
GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer will be grabbed too.
These may have some benefit to security if you don't trust your X server. Keyboard is always grabbed.
SEE ALSO
ssh-add(1), ssh-askpass(1).
