auth.log is a good idea :) There I found the problem for my above described problem
| Jan 23 18:10:12 ax-tge gnome-keyring-daemon[6440]: couldn't find or load public key for private key | Jan 23 18:10:12 ax-tge gnome-keyring-daemon[6440]: user denied this prompt previously, skipping prompt and automatically denying I had in my ~/.ssh directory an old private key for which no public key was in the same directory. This seems to confuse the gnome-keyring- daemon. After deleting the old private key my problem disappeared! -- ssh always asks to unlock private key with no password set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187127 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
