According to Ubuntu Forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=682608) it looks that the import is carried out automatically when _both_ id_rsa and id_rsa.pub are present in the .ssh folder.
I was solving a similar problem and the key just popped out in Seahorse when I added the public key. Private key alone is apparently not enough. Maybe that is because in .pub is actually saved the key comment. So I just did ssh-keygen -y to generate public one, pasted it into gedit, saved as id_rsa.pub and it just works. BTW, I guess that MIME types doesn't really play a role. For me, in nautilus, id_rsa gets detected as type "Dokument VHDL (text/x-vhdl)" and id_rsa.pub as "Prostý textový dokument (Plain text document) (text/plain)" ;-) -- id_rsa not detected as x-pem-key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397145 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
