You are not logged in.
Hi all,
I'm trying to get my ssh keys unlock upon logging into gnome, so that some back-up scripts to remote locations can run automatically.
I follow the wiki for keyring , but I get the following when trying to add my ssh key password to the keyring.
$ /usr/lib/seahorse/ssh-askpass my_key
seahorse-Message: 18:47:26.136: passphrase-prompt.vala:201: could not grab keyboard: 3
Any thoughts?
Many thanks all.

Solved by using a password-lesskey

Old post, but other people might land here just like me, particularly if they do not use a full-blown login manager or desktop environment.
You can force Seahorse to remember the password with this kind of command:
secret-tool store --label="Unlock password for id_rsa" unique ssh-store:$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
Use this one to check the password was saved:
secret-tool lookup unique ssh-store:$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
See this Gnome issue as well as this.
