[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Andreas Hasenack]

According to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/1420522 it's
fixed in seahorse 3.30, which is present in ubuntu cosmic and later.

>From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1435924, this should 
>reproduce the problem:
1. Generate a ssh key using the keytype ed25519 and enter a password when 
creating the key:
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519
2. Log out from your computer and log in again
3. Start a ssh session to a remote host:
$ ssh u...@domain.tld

I tried that with bionic, which has seahorse 3.20.0

Comment #88 hints that trusty is affected and also broke, can someone
confirm that please? trusty has seahorse 3.10.2-0ubuntu1

Releases older than trusty are EOL by now.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Adam Katz]

Peter:  Yes, that's all true (it's a workaround after all), though you
could add the ssh-agent command to your startup scripts.  I've updated
my Stack Exchange answer 
to reflect that.

BTW, you don't actually need the `mv` line since the .broken socket
isn't terribly useful.

[Adam Katz]

While this is not a big endian problem, it is a problem and it is NOT
solved yet.  I doubt it will be solved until Ubuntu bug 1420522
 is
solved.

This is GNOME bug 754028 
(Among others, see 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?no_redirect=0=ed25519#)

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Peter Ansell]

The workaround of the following commands only works until I log out (not
restarting the computer):

mv $SSH_AUTH_SOCK $SSH_AUTH_SOCK.broken
ssh-agent -a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
ssh-add


When I log back in, without having to restart the computer, the SSH_AUTH_SOCK 
is corrupted again, and it seems to be consistent. If there are any commands I 
could run before and after logging out I am more than happy to contribute.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Adam Katz]

Summary of problem (for me):

* ssh host fails with ssh Agent admitted failure
* SSH_AUTH_SOCK= ssh host works just fine
* Conclusion:  gnome-keyring can't deal with complex keys

WORKAROUND:

mv $SSH_AUTH_SOCK $SSH_AUTH_SOCK.broken
ssh-agent -a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

This is a new instance of ssh-agent, so it won't have any keys in it
(despite what seahorse says, since that's tied to the .broken agent).
You'll have to add them via ssh-add.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[linas]

I woke up this morning, and I get this error message.  What happened?

-- it was working last night.
-- ssh-add -l says everything is there.
-- above means that ssh-agent is running
-- contents of /tmp and /tmp/keyring-XXX look OK
-- SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 ssh wherever works

System: ubuntu 14.04
Uptime: about a month

Why is something that worked fine for a month suddenly stop working in
the morning?

[madmaze]

For some reason this problem just cropped up for me on 12.04.1

As of last week the problem didnt exist, I believe something must have
caused this in the last set of updates I installed.

[madmaze]

Actually, interestingly I just found:
ps aux | grep ssh-agent
madmaze  23158  0.0  0.0  13600   920 pts/8R+   20:24   0:00 grep 
--color=auto ssh-agent
madmaze  24080  0.0  0.0  0 0 ?Zs   Nov02   0:14 [ssh-agent] 
defunct

I tried restarting ssh-agent but problem persists. 
Though if i add SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 it does solve the problem.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[madmaze]

it seems after a reboot it fixed itself again, so I assume it crashed for some 
reason.
I greped through /var/log for any indication of what caused the crash.. found 
nothing.

consider this resolved for me.

[Woonjas]

Not sure if this is the same.
Connecting to my dreamplug running Ubuntu 9.04 from  my laptop running 11.10  
I'm getting the following (using ssh -vv)

debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey

Using the same key from an ssh session on an old box running 9.10 works.

This bug affects 11.10 too.
Creating the key with a type different from rsa, e.g. dsa, fixes the problem.

I have the same bug on 11.04, and can confirm that either setting
SSH_AUTH_SOCK = 0, or deleting the directory it is pointing to (/tmp

I'd like to confirm this bug too when using an SSH key with no

I'm able to override the issue by running SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 ssh -v

[ski]

I don't think this problem is related to big-endianness. I just had it
on a x86 system that was upgraded from feisty - hardy - lucid. In my
case the fix was simple: apt-get install seahorse-plugins. For whatever
reason that dependency doesn't seem to be pulled in when you upgrade.
I'd recommend folks try that first if they are having problems.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Hance J Tharakan]

I also came across with the above error message while using ssh.
I tried ssh in 2 machines in a loop. Only 1 showed(machine 21, below) the 
error. And in that machine(21)i had changed the password once before i ssh. So 
i think the error may be because of the password change. 

Please note that ssh allows to login usig private/public key pair even
after the password of the machine is changed.

See below the results...

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[poloshiao]

It was Ok when I installed openSSH on this May as soon as ubuntu 10.04 LTS came 
out. 
It encountered the same problem as described above when I make another new 
installation this afternoon.
It was resolved after runnig ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa as said on these comments.
I found out another thing not mentioned here.
There was a file called known_hosts in ~/.ssh/ when I installed on this May.
This file known_hosts disappeared when I installed this afternoon, so it failed.
The file known_hosts appeared again after runnig ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa, so it 
was perfect.

Same problem:

Order of events:
1. Switched from Debian. Copied home. - Problem appeared
2. Re-created keys and copied key across to authorised keys - Problem persisted
3. Deleted all keys, regenerated and copied key across to authorised keys - 
Problem persisted.
4. Ran ssh-add - Problem went away.

Re: [Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Tim Utschig]

Just my $0.02...

If you use an SSH agent, do yourself a favor and use OpenSSH's 
own ssh-agent.  I've found 
seahorse/gnome-keyring-daemon/whatever very unreliable, 
especially when I run dozens of parallel ssh commands (which all 
use public key auth via the SSH agent).  I give it a chance with 
each new Ubuntu release, but each time it has failed me.

I always end up falling back to the following in ~/.bashrc:

  export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$HOME/.ssh/.authsock

and the following alias for starting a new agent (once per boot):

  alias ssh-agent-init='bash -c '\''eval `ssh-agent -s`; ln 
-sf $SSH_AUTH_SOCK $HOME/.ssh/.authsock; echo Agent authsock 
$SSH_AUTH_SOCK; ssh-add /path/to/mykeys/id_[rd]sa'\'

I hear people also use the keychain package to achieve the 
same, though I haven't looked at it.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[bitinerant]

This one bit me when I deleted my old ssh keys and generated new ones on
Karmic.  Both work-arounds worked for me (I tried them
individually)--adding the line export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 to ~/.bashrc OR
running ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa.  I like the latter better because it
doesn't require extra work to distribute to the systems I use.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Oded Arbel]

I had this problem today, with Karmic. The problem went away after a
logged out and logged back in - I'm not sure what the problem is with
older versions, but I think in Karmic the problem is that seahorse does
not update with the new key when a new key is created while it is
running.

If you try to kill seahorse, you're going to kill your X session because
seahorse is running under dbus-launch. Obviously logging out whenever
you create a new SSH key is not a good workaround.

I concur... this is a problem that should have been fixed by now. When I

connecting to the target system after placing the key in the
authorized_keys2 file (on target).

Note: This must be done for each and every shell opened on the host.

Hi again,

Searching some informations on seahorse' ssh-agent, I found this thing:

/!\  Note: This only applies to versions of Seahorse prior to 2.22.
In 2.22 and later a full SSH agent is included in gnome-keyring and the
agent proxy in Seahorse has been retired. 

maybe there are some problems with versions of those programmes in
ubuntu?

See source:

[austin_is]

Still present in Jaunty. Using SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 still works around it.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Cédric Jeanneret]

Hello.

Same problem on a recently reinstalled Jaunty.

Informations :
Architecture : i386
Release : 9.04

Packages version:

dpkg -l | grep seahorse
ii  libcryptui02.26.1-0ubuntu1
ii  seahorse   2.26.1-0ubuntu1
ii  seahorse-plugins   2.26.1-0ubuntu1


System is up to date.

One thing though : we kept user's home when we reinstalled his computer. BUT we 
removed all his preferences :
for dir in .gconf .gconfd .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .local .config
do
  rm -r $HOME/$dir
done

When we do a ssh-add, it works again.
I tried to do Christian Albrecht fix, but it didn't work on this computer.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Christian Albrecht]

I have had the problem on my upgraded from Intrepid Jaunty installation.

It seems to be that gnome-keyring has a problem while reading my private
key in dos format (CR/LF). After converting it to unix format it works
like a charm.

I've used dos2unix (tofrodos package) to do the job.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Unca Xitron]

Decided to try Tim Utschig's approach and lose the DSA key I'm no longer
using, with no positive outcome.  Interesting observation, though, and
one I hadn't considered.

One addition to this that may or may not be unique to my machine.  When I first 
attempt an ssh, the dialog box that pops up reads:
  Unlock login keyring
   Enter login password to unlock keyring
   Your login keyring was not automatically unlocked when you logged into this 
computer
   Password

No matter what I put in there, no joy.  But if I close that dialog box using 
the X in the corner, the next dialog box that pops up reads:
  Unlock private key
   An application wants access to the private key 'id_rsa', but it is locked.
   Password

When I then enter the key's password in that 2nd dialogue box,
everything works fine.  So for me, the problem seems to exist with the
first issue, where it's unlocking what it calls my login keyring.  Can
anyone help clarify this for me?  Is that portion something I can easily
disable without disabling the 2nd portion?  Or is there a way to set the
password for that login keyring?

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Anand Kumria]

Hi Sebastien,

How we can help diagnose the problem? The issue description is wrong
(since earlier commentators indicated that it also failed on amd64).

I have an i386 and amd64 machine and am only expericing this issue on
the amd64 one.

Thanks,
Anand

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Tim Utschig]

Running into this on intrepid.  I have two keys loaded into my gnome-
keyring agent, one DSA, one RSA.   Pubkey auth using the DSA is key is
failing with the Agent admitted failure message, but RSA succeeds
immediately after.

Ran an strace, and noticed that it's writing the following to syslog:

   Feb 12 20:13:12 timlaptop gnome-keyring-daemon[6368]: signing of the
data failed: Invalid object

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[adinsx]

I just began having this problem in Jaunty amd64 as well. It was working
fine as of last night, but today I run into this. I should note that I
can use sftp via gnome/gvfs/(whatever the exact program that handles
sftp in gnome is) with the exact same key to the same server.

Also, if I open seahorse - select my private key - Configure key for
secure shell - enter in required information, seahorse gives me the
same error message as the terminal ssh client.

The SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 workaround fixed my problem.

I ended up doing this:
gconftool-2 --set -t bool /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh false

Fixed my problem once I logged out/in.

[Bug 201786] Re: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines

[Dustin Kirkland]

Interestingly, if I regenerate my keypair, the new ones work.

I'm using a 4096 bit rsa key.  My system is an up-to-date Jaunty amd64
install.

Also, the new, working key appears to be 4 bytes shorter...

$ wc id_rsa orig/id_rsa
  51   57 3239 id_rsa
  51   57 3243 orig/id_rsa

Like zcrar70, I'm pretty sure mine started when I upgraded to Intrepid.
No passphrase or key changes.  Nothing else out of the ordinary that I
recall.  No denying keyring.

[pat.pannuto]

I too am experiencing the same bug. Running 8.10, 64-bit on a Core2Duo.

This bug first appeared when I changed the passphrase for my key,
everything was working fine before that. The workarounds above worked
fine for me, and my ssh -v output is the same as well.

[pat.pannuto]

Interestingly, restarting X causes this bug to go away.  For those
experiencing this bug, did it just show up one day, or did you do
something out of the ordinary (eg, change keys, change your passphrase,
in any way modify your ~/.ssh directory while running, perhaps deny the
keyring once - anything out of the ordinary)?

In my case, it happened after upgrading to Intrepid - no passphrase or
key changes or anything else out of the ordinary that I remember. I am
still getting the error.

[Unca Xitron]

I'm running Intrepid, and like zcrar70 did not have the problem under
Hardy.

I've found if I close the first dialog box twice, and the Ctl-C the
command-line, the next time I try it it works fine.  Weird.
