Whenever that happens, it is ssh-agent instead of gnome-keyring that is providing the SSH agent capabilities: $ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK /tmp/ssh-qeG7CTbx4w7D/agent.4592 $ ps -p 4592 -f UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD xeno 4592 4576 0 20:53 tty3 00:00:00 /usr/lib/gnome-session/gnome-session-binary --session=gnome $ ps -p $SSH_AGENT_PID -f UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD xeno 4652 4592 0 20:53 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/im-launch gnome-session --session=gnome I usually close the GNOME Terminal and open a new one (sometimes I must do this more than once), and I eventually get the expected output: $ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK /run/user/1000/keyring/ssh $ ps -p $SSH_AGENT_PID -f UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD xeno 4652 4592 0 20:53 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/im-launch gnome-session --session=gnome Interestingly, the $SSH_AGENT_PID variable seems to continue pointing to the process where ssh-agent is running. Generally once I get the keyring socket in the $SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable, it will stay that way even when I close the terminal and launch a new one. This seems to be a weird conflict between two programs offering the ssh-agent service.
