Hmm, I tested the workaround on lunar too just to make sure and it works for me. After the .desktop file is created the inhibitShortcutsDialog will show up one more time. Notably the description of the dialog box will change to contain the Name entry for the desktop file - in this case "GNOME ssh-askpass" rather than the executable name "gnome-ssh- askpass". After clicking "allow" it shouldn't pop up ever again.
If it still has that name the Exec path may be wrong in the desktop file. Make sure it says "Exec=/usr/lib/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass". Alternatively the local desktop file entry just might not be working and it may be worth adding the file to /usr/share/applications/ instead. This also works for me.

This happens in ubuntu 22.04-23.04 (completely updated) using gnome. If i use xfce in the same ubuntu versions, the gnome dialog doesn't pop up, of course, and ssh-askpass-gnome works properly (one entry and then all commands executed without further prompting). Fedora 37 works properly with gnome x11 or wayland, and xfce. Not sure if this is a bug in ubuntu's ssh-askpass-gnome, gnome-shell, or both/something else. ubuntu 23.04 is using GNOME Shell 44.2 and ssh-askpass-gnome 1:9.0p1-1ubuntu8.2 fedora is using openssh-askpass-8.8p1-10.fc37 and GNOME Shell 43.6 thanks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/2026307/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
