My suspicion is that we never get as far as askpass – gnome-keyring- daemon spawns a ssh-agent to pass requests on to (in my case, that's easy to spot because I use PKCS#11 tokens and that's the one spawning ssh-pkcs11-helpers), and that one doesn't have DISPLAY in its environment, so it won't even try to obtain permission that way.
I'll see if I have enough foo to either force the ssh agents into debug mode (readpass.c's read_passphrase() only logs at debug level) or frobnicate their environment to have a DISPLAY, see if that fixes things. -- 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/1812247 Title: ssh-askpass(-gnome) fails for ssh-add -c: agent refused operation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1812247/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
