I have the same problem here. Sometimes seahorse crashes, and then ssh seems not to work. My workaround is to blank out the ssh-agent variables on the command line:
$ SSH_AGENT_PID= SSH_AUTH_SOCK= ssh wherever It's a really frustrating bug, because ssh doesn't work and gives no indication why unless you do ssh -v. Otherwise it just waits forever. I wish there was a way to tell GNOME that seahorse has crashed, and to restart it and update the environment variables for new shells. -- can't ssh out; seahorse-agent seems dead https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111771 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
