Title:
gnome-keyring -ssh silently start and conflict with ssh-agent
Status in gnome-keyring package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
According to /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop gnome-keyring
launchers are visible in OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;MATE;. I use Cinnamon and under
Cinnamon gnome-keyring is not visible in the autostart menu. But it's started
hidden ad steal SSH_AUTH_SOCK from the ssh_agent. And this creates confusion
problems, because gnome-keyring don't support ECDSA and ED25519. And there was
hard to investigate where this gnome-keyring was launched to switch it off.
The problem script is from Ubuntu, perhaps
/usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-keyring-ssh.conf
There is a check of running ssh-agent, [ -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ], but obviously
it don't work.
What is needed to do is if gnome-keyring is running in any windows
manager, thus it must be visible in any, thus anyone shall can quickly
switch it off, if this will be needed. Or don't run where it is not
visible as autostart application.
Workaround is to copy file /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-
ssh.desktop to the user homedir, delete "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;MATE;"
with any text editor in this file and switch it off later. Now all
work fine.
Ubuntu 17.04, gnome-keyring 3.20.0-3ubuntu2.
