I have a very similar experience on Ubuntu MATE 18.04. /run/user/1000/keyring/ssh is opened by gnome-keyring-daemon /run/user/1000/keyring/.ssh is opened by /usr/bin/ssh-agent $SSH_AUTH_SOCK points to /run/user/1000/keyring/ssh
When I try to open an SSH session to another machine it hangs just after "SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received" Changing $SSH_AUTH_SOCK to point to /run/user/1000/keyring/.ssh allows the SSH to complete -- 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/1586835 Title: ssh-agent fighting gnome-keyring on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1586835/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
