Finally found this bug report! I have the same issue. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.
Is the fix going to be backported to Tusty soon? That would be great. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1271591 Title: upstart job race prevents gnome-keyring from being ssh agent Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “gnome-keyring” source package in Trusty: Triaged Bug description: I expect gnome-keyring to be the ssh authentication agent when I am logged in to a graphical session. Because of what I suspect is a race in upstart jobs, I believe SSH_AUTH_SOCK is being overwritten after gnome-keyring starts. Perhaps the gnome-session job needs to make sure the ssh-agent job is finished?
