Hi, I confirm this problem with 2 other computers. It seems to be link to Unity or Gnome keyring and ssh-agent. It does not happen with a KDE desktop. If you press ctrl+alt+F1 and test your ssh connexion, it should work due to environment variables where echo $SSL_AUTH_SOCK return an empty value.
Into your session Unity/Gnome, you can bypass this problem by adding this line into your /home/<user>/.bashrc file : export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 reload your bash environment with this command : $ source /home/<user>/.bashrc It works for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380084 Title: SSH client requires SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 will not work without it, can't use key auth without SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1380084/+subscriptions -- 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
