Hello,
I'm trying to use the gnome-keyring to store the passphrases for my ssh-keys in gnome-terminal.
I started to generate my ssh-keys as described in this article.
After that I transfered the key via "ssh-copy-id" to my other computer.
Then I connected to that computer via nautilus and stored the passphrase. Now it is no problem to connect without typing in the passphrase again.
When I try to connect to that computer via a gnome-terminal ssh asks every time for the passphrase.
I tried a lot of things, but I can't solve this issue.
Does anybody got an idea how to tell the gnome-keyring that it should store the passphrase for connections via terminals?
Any help is appreciated Maybe I just don't see the solution, but I'm still new to ssh.
Thanks in advance!
David

Can I ask how do you open gnome-terminal. I had the same problem when launching gnome-terminal using a shortcut. Can you try to launch it from the application menu? Still not working?
There has been a forum topic on this, try searching for GDM keyring, you should find it

Hi alexcriss,
I tried to open the terminal from the application menu, but it didn't help.
I searched the forum for "GDM keyring" and I found a few topics dealing with similar problems, but I couldn't find a solution.
I have forgotten to tell, that when I enter
ssh-add -L
it returns
The agent has no identities.
Typing
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa
returns:
Enter passphrase for /home/david/.ssh/id_ecdsa:
Error reading response length from authentication socket.
Could not add identity: /home/david/.ssh/id_ecdsa
Maybe this helps to find the error.
Thanks again,
David

what encryption did you choose for your key?
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Hey,
thanks wonder. I had a look for bugs concerning my problem, but I didn't find this one. I just use another encryption now.
Just "ecdsa", because the article in the wiki mentioned it. I didn't think much about it.
Thanks again,
David
