I have the same issue with two computers since I switched to 16.04. No problem when I was on 15.10 or earlier.
Maybe related to this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1271591 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1411174 Title: "open in terminal" does not honour SSH_AUTH_SOCK and GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variables in Ubuntu 14.10 Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nautilus-open-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: Open a terminal in Unity via the Launcher (or Dash) and ssh into something. The ssh-agent unity keyring dialog will popup asking for the passphrase. Everything's ok. Now open a terminal via nautilus-open-terminal, for example right click on Desktop -> Open in Terminal and run env. The SSH_AUTH_SOCK and GPG_AGENT_INFO variables are not set. Other env vars are also slightly different but this might not be necessarily a problem. The problem is that trying to ssh somewhere cannot access the already running ssh-agent (unity gnome keyring), ssh will prompt in CLI for the passphrase. The expected behaviour (at least until 14.04 LTS) was that SSH_AUTH_SOCK and GPG_AGENT_INFO were set when opening the terminal via nautilus "Open in Terminal". $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.10 Release: 14.10 $ apt-cache policy nautilus-open-terminal nautilus-open-terminal: Installed: 0.20-1 Candidate: 0.20-1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1411174/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
