[gentoo-user] ssh-add: Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

[gentoo-user] ssh-add: Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

[Michael Schmarck]

Hello.

Since this morning, I find that I can no longer add SSH keys to the
ssh key agent. I'm using Gnome 2.22, so I think seahorse would be
used instead.

--($:~)-- ssh-add 
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

No good :(

Per man ssh-add(1):

     The authentication agent must be running and the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environ‐
     ment variable must contain the name of its socket for ssh-add to work.

--($:~)-- echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK 
/tmp/keyring-L12w0n/ssh

--($:~)-- ps awux | grep keyri
mike      8073  0.0  0.2  16216  2632 ?        SL   07:18   0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --foreground --components=keyring

--($:~)-- ps awux | grep seah
mike      6631  0.0  1.8  36876 16776 ?        Ss   07:14   0:00 /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute gnome-session

Since the last boot, I updated the following packages:

Anyone else having problems with ssh-add?

Is ssh-agent running?  What does

ps -aux | grep ssh

show?  Also,

env | grep SSH

ought to show a bunch of ssh-agent stuff.

No, it's not. Gnome's seahorse offers that functionality.

Nothing interesting. :(

of course I ran eix seahorse *after* hitting reply.  Teaches me not to
reply to a message 30 seconds after getting out of bed.  Ok, now onto
helpful stuff...  does /tmp/keyring-L12w0n/ssh exist?  Does any other
sort of ssh-agent / seahorse stuff exist in /tmp?  When running
ssh-agent, I get a pipe called /tmp/ssh-[a-zA-Z0-9]/agent.$pid.  After
that I'm out of ideas.

Yes. HOWEVER:

--($:~)-- sudo lsof | grep -i tmp/keyring
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/mike/.gvfs
      Output information may be incomplete.

That's strange - there's nothing listening on /tmp/keyring-L12w0n and
for sure not on the ssh named pipe in that directroy.

So there are two that are out of ideas.

It seems there are two strange things:

- ssh agent env.var is pointing to the wrong directory.
- nothings reading from the ssh pipe in the wrong directory.

Strange, isn't it?

BTW: The lsof command I ran was correct, wasn't it? I'd expect
that it would've shown a command which had /tmp/keyring/L12w0n/ssh
open.

Ok, so looking at your original post, gvfs, gnome-vfs, and seahorse were
upgraded.  I'm not much of a gnome guy but I do know that apps do all
sorts of strange stuff if I upgrade deps and don't restart them
(forget).  When's the last time you restarted gnome / your box?  I know
it's not the the NIX way to reboot when you can't fix it (as it usually
doesn't fix the problem) but I'm running out of ideas

This morning. Yesterday, I upgraded stuff and then shut down my
machine. This morning I booted the machine.

You're right - didn't fix it :)

It seems to me, as if some daemon or whatnot is not started.

It would be interesting for me, if any other Gnome users have
this problem as well. If not, it would be interesting to see
what daemons you've got running. The lsof output would be
very interesting!

I run ssh-agent by hand on occasion.  Other than that I don't run any
keyring stuff so I'm afraid I can't be of much more help.
