[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

Like zcrar70, I'm pretty sure mine started when I upgraded to Intrepid. No passphrase or key changes. Nothing else out of the ordinary that I recall. No denying keyring. -- ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201786 You receive

In my case, it happened after upgrading to Intrepid - no passphrase or key changes or anything else out of the ordinary that I remember. I am still getting the error. -- ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201786 You received thi

Interestingly, restarting X causes this bug to go away. For those experiencing this bug, did it "just show up one day", or did you do something out of the ordinary (eg, change keys, change your passphrase, in any way modify your ~/.ssh directory while running, perhaps deny the keyring once - anyth

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

I too am experiencing the same bug. Running 8.10, 64-bit on a Core2Duo. This bug first appeared when I changed the passphrase for my key, everything was working fine before that. The workarounds above worked fine for me, and my ssh -v output is the same as well. -- ssh Agent admitted failure to

I'm running Intrepid, and like zcrar70 did not have the problem under Hardy. I've found if I close the first dialog box twice, and the Ctl-C the command-line, the next time I try it it works fine. Weird. -- ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines https://bugs.lau

I forgot to mention, I'm using Intrepid and I wasn't getting this error on Hardy (though I may not have had the latest version of seahorse or gnome-keyring, as I had update-manager disabled for a while). -- ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines https://bugs.launc

I am also getting this error on an AMD64 machine. The error message I get is still "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key", although the output of ssh -v is a little different - here it is up to when it prompts me to use a password to login: OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-3ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19

Sam, as the original bug reporter, can you confirm that you are also on a big endian machine like PowerPC? ** Summary changed: - ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key + ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines -- ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using
