Package: gnome-terminal Version: 3.36.1.1-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
While I believe this to be a 100% upstream bug, I am reporting this here due to the instruction on gnome's gitlab instance for gnome-terminal that have asked that all bugs go through the distributions first. For the past two weeks or so, whenever I ran an upgrade and got gnome-terminal 3.36, I've had issues with my ssh-agent. At first I thought it was crashing or something, so I just `eval $(ssh-agent)` and kept working. However, today I realized that the agent still works on ther original tab that was created in the gnome-terminal window. I started experimenting and found that there are quite a few differences in the environment variables between the initial tab and any that are created after the application has launched. Notably, the biggest issue is that SSH_AUTH_SOCK and GPG_AGENT_INFO are *NOT* passed to any newly created tab. This is super annoying as it basically makes the tab feature of gnome-terminal completely useless for some that uses their ssh agent a lot. I did try setting the "use login shell" option on my profile, but that doesn't work for the ssh and gpg agents because those are processes launched by my X session and not part of my shell login. I've created a video showing how to reproduce the issue and it can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFgjBCaDH4g. I did start to experiment with trying to bisect the code to find the bug, but I couldn't figure out a good way to test on an existing install and I don't have the time at the moment to setup a virtual machine to debug this further. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.5.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/64 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii dbus-user-session [default-dbus-session-bus] 1.12.16-2 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.36.0-1 ii gnome-terminal-data 3.36.1.1-2 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.36.0-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.36.0-2 ii libc6 2.30-4 ii libdconf1 0.36.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.64.2-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.18-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.44.7-4 ii libuuid1 2.34-0.1 ii libvte-2.91-0 0.60.1-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.9-2 Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii gvfs 1.44.1-1 ii nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal 3.36.1.1-3 ii yelp 3.34.0-1 gnome-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
