Binary package hint: gnome-keyring
I have an ssh key in /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa. Also currently tests fine with Fedora. A replace to gnome-keyring_2.22.3-2_i386.deb fixes problem. Also works fine with ssh-add and ssh-agent.
Problem:
First time I try and log into a remote server using ssh using 9.04, I get asked for the password (passphrase). This is accepted (if I enter wrong one, it keeps focus and asks to re-enter).
Then when it has accepted the correct passphrase, it proceeds to try and login, but doesn't seem to use it. This I am doing via gnome-terminal and a custom command (which is "ssh <email address hidden>", I have several for different hosts, using one key). On trying to login, it fails and asks for a password, if it failed and used the ssh key so I could enter passphrase at this point I'd be fine (so I'm guessing maybe its not using keyring at all? This is actually better than a broken keyring for me).
If I regress to gnome-keyring 2.22.3-2 this sort of works by asking for passphrase each time (so guessing maybe its not using keyring, but is using the correct key at least).
Will try and restore and grab copy of ssh -vvv as custom command.
Have restored original keyring. This is ssh -vvv user@host as custom command.
I'm guessing using the old keyring may be a redherring as it may not actually be using it? But gnome-terminal does use the correct ssh key and logs in fine. (so could be a gnome-terminal issue or elsewhere?)
Happy to help isolate as very important. I can work around it for the moment by using old version and logging in direct with passphrase.
