You can automatically bypass gnome-keyring with the following shell snippet:
export SSH_AGENT_PID=$(pgrep -ou $USER ssh-agent) export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$(find -L /tmp -type s -user $USER -name 'agent.*' 2>/dev/null | head -1)" If you know where to stick it, at session startup, then it may serve as a workaround. Or you can place it in a script just wrapping ssh-add. I'm not sure if the gnome-keyring socket would still work for SSH once the key has been loaded. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771272 Title: ssh-add does not handle ECDSA keys until ssh-agent exports are manually launched To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-keyring/+bug/771272/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
