Hi replying to two e-mails at once since your questions are so similar, I hope it won't cause much confusion.

Yes, everyone has this issue, because with gnome 46 this functionality has been removed. m4xxed made a home service and shared it, they sent this link through IRC: https://paste.debian.net/1363019. This starts a service upon login that will be used by ssh.

Higher up I sent a service for guix home, if you instead want to solve this via system, I am not sure what the best way is to do this with system. Using shepherd services is kind of out of the question as you cannot start a shepherd service for arbitrary users, you need to start it as a specific one. One way would be to use the xdg autostart feature of gnome, specifically to make a desktop file in one of the $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/etc/xdg/autostart folders. The one for system is /run/current-system/profile/etc/xdg, and you write to it by making a package that will produce /etc/xdg/desktop-file-here in the output and then putting it to your operating-system's packages field, or if you were interested in making it a service you could make a service that extends profile-service-type. Let me know if you need further assistance with making this package. > > [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring#SSH_keys > > Best regards > Hugo Regards, Rutherther
