Public bug reported: In my "startup application preferences" I have a script which runs ssh forever on a loop. When I log in to the desktop, the ssh key agent asks for my ssh passphrase. This works correctly in Unity and Gnome. With Unity-2d, I get two dialogs when I log in. One looks like the normal one. The other is simpler and says "openssh key agent". Since they both try to grab the keyboard this results in bad things happening. Also, the openssh passphrase dialogue doesn't work, even if I manage to enter the passphrase into it.
The tunnel script just looks like: #!/bin/sh while true; do ssh -CD 1234 server; done; ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: unity-2d 4.12.0-0ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-14.23-generic 3.0.9 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-14-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Jan 11 15:30:52 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Beta amd64 (20110921.2) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: unity-2d UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-09 (93 days ago) ** Affects: unity-2d (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug oneiric running-unity unity-2d -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/914805 Title: race condition between openssh key agent and gnome ssh key agent at startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/914805/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
