[Bug 578035] Re: ssh-askpass-gnome doesn't prompt for password in any release post ubuntu 8.10 32/64bit
after a very short and helpful conversation with the gnome-keyring developers this problem is now resolved. The problem is that the way gnome-keyring checks for public/private keys has changed. The old process used to check for ~/.ssh/id_?sa now it checks for a matching public key in a *.pub format too. For gnome-keyring to actually prompt you to unlock the key, both the public and private keys must be in your local ~/.ssh directory, this is why some users are seeing this as a problem, and others not. I was always keen to keep my public and private keys separate for legacy security issues, I've just dumped my public key with a .pub extension in my ~/.ssh directory and gnome-keyring started working, bang. No technical problem, just user error and a lack of information about the changes to gnome-keyring package in the ubuntu community/packager. ** Changed in: gnome-keyring (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Fix Released -- ssh-askpass-gnome doesn't prompt for password in any release post ubuntu 8.10 32/64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578035 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

while I chase this up with gnome (dissapointed, I'd have expected the ubuntu package maintainer to push this upstream to the correct teams, if I had wanted the answer contact the gnome developers - I'd have done it myself) could this bug please get added to Maverick also. -- ssh-askpass-gnome doesn't prompt for password in any release post ubuntu 8.10 32/64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578035 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

While this input is valid and appreciated, I'm not sure how gnome- keyring-prompt/gnome-keyring knows if this is a new key, or an old key. I'm using a DSA key, what is in this key file that is suggesting to gnome it's an old key ? I'm asking this as my keys are populated a lot around the place so I'm interested in how gnome knows it's an old key, and looking at options as deleting all my keys and re-deploying them isn't an option I'm keen to do. -- ssh-askpass-gnome doesn't prompt for password in any release post ubuntu 8.10 32/64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578035 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm using a DSA key, what is in this key file that is suggesting to gnome it's an old key ? I have no idea, most likely the hash algorithm used for this key. You could contact Gnome Keyring developers to get a better answer. You can check /usr/share/doc/gnome-keyring for AUTHORS file, it should have contact info. Maybe there is a way to convert the old key into the new one but I find that unlikely. Deployment of new keys may be the only option other than using ssh-add. PS.

We just spend some time on #ubuntu-bugs triaging this one and this is what we found out. For some time the agent responsible for caching ssh passwords is Gnome Keyring and dialog is displayed by gnome-keyring-prompt. Gnome Keyring, as stated on its website supports both SSH v1 and SSH v2 protocols but former only in compatibility mode. In this mode Gnome Keyring still caches keys but they have to be added using ssh-add. At least in David's case we have managed to track the issue down to his old DSA key, he has reported that a newly generated RSA key works as expected - i.e. password prompt shows up. I've also confirmed that it shows up for newly generated DSA keys. To all who are affected by this bug can you confirm that generating a new key solves the issue? I'm also reassigning package to gnome-keyring as ssh-askpass-gnome isn't used anymore. ** Package changed: openssh (Ubuntu) = gnome-keyring (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-keyring (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- ssh-askpass-gnome doesn't prompt for password in any release post ubuntu 8.10 32/64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578035 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

I'd just like to add a me too comment. I have re-installed my Ubuntu, copied my id_dsa into ~/.ssh. Its annoying that I no longer get the gui prompt to enter my password which is then cached. I have to unlock my key, every single time I go to log into a host with ssh. This is definitely a bug, as the expected behaviour is that it just works, like it did on the prior installation. -- ssh-askpass-gnome doesn't prompt for password in any release post ubuntu 8.10 32/64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578035 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
