In current Rawhide, GNOME's ssh agent functionality isn't working. Every time I try and ssh anywhere from within GNOME, I get a terminal prompt for the key passphrase. The way this should work is that the *first* time I ssh somewhere I get a GNOME prompt for the passphrase, and it should then store it for future re-use within the same session. Kalev pointed out that this is likely related to https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-keyring/pull-request/7 and the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ModularGnomeKeyring Change more broadly. In light of that, some info: * I have gcr3-3.41.1-6.fc39.x86_64 and gcr-4.1.0-2.fc39.x86_64 installed * gcr3 provides /usr/libexec/gcr-ssh-askpass but no agent * gcr provides /usr/libexec/gcr-ssh-agent and /usr/libexec/gcr4-ssh-askpass * gcr also provides a gcr-ssh-agent.service and a gcr-ssh-agent.socket , but both appear to be disabled and inactive: [adamw@xps13a os-autoinst-distri-fedora (main %)]$ systemctl --user status gcr-ssh-agent ○ gcr-ssh-agent.service - GCR ssh-agent wrapper Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/gcr-ssh-agent.service; disabled; preset: disabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/user/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: inactive (dead) TriggeredBy: ○ gcr-ssh-agent.socket [adamw@xps13a os-autoinst-distri-fedora (main %)]$ rpm -ql gcr | grep sock /usr/lib/systemd/user/gcr-ssh-agent.socket [adamw@xps13a os-autoinst-distri-fedora (main %)]$ systemctl --user status gcr-ssh-agent.socket ○ gcr-ssh-agent.socket - GCR ssh-agent wrapper Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/gcr-ssh-agent.socket; disabled; preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Triggers: ● gcr-ssh-agent.service Listen: /run/user/1000/gcr/ssh (Stream)
starting the service and socket manually within a running GNOME session doesn't seem to help, I still just get a console prompt.
I would say it needs more coordination to switch over to gcr-ssh-agent on Fedora (e.g., how to propagate SSH_AUTH_SOCK, to automatically enable it at preset, ...); I propose re-enable ssh-agent support in gnome-keyring until they are done. See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-keyring/pull-request/9
that would definitely help delay my going insane, yes...thanks :)
OK, https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2322906 got this working again, thanks.
