Hello Carlos, Thanks for your reply.
But on Noble, the agent is not socket activated unfortunately: drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2026-04-28 00:29 ./usr/lib/systemd/user/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2026-04-28 00:29 ./usr/lib/systemd/user/graphical-session-pre.target.wants/ lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2026-04-28 00:29 ./usr/lib/systemd/user/graphical-session-pre.target.wants/ssh-agent.service -> ../ssh-agent.service -rw-r--r-- root/root 542 2025-08-26 12:41 ./usr/lib/systemd/user/ssh-agent.service (see: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/859193547/buildlog_ubuntu-noble-amd64.openssh_1%3A9.6p1-3ubuntu13.16_BUILDING.txt.gz) It's only enabled by the graphical session/desktop starting. I would argue that having that working OOTB for the LTS in WLS would be a nice feature -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2156041 Title: (noble) ssh-agent not started in WSL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/2156041/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
