I also have this problem. This bug is the first sensible discussion of the issue I have found all day. I've actually been able to do something using the tty1, thanks for that tip!
I am using gnupg with enigmail for thunderbird. In the course of working with it, I've installed several key agents of one kind or another. I am using edgy with gnome. I can see a few things: Applications -> System Tools -> GnomePGP (0.4) Applications -> Accessories -> Encryption Keys (alias for seahorse 0.9.5) Applications -> Accessories -> GNU Privacy Assistant (0.7.0) System -> Preferences -> Encryption Preferences This fails to start! When I try to start this, there is an app icon in the lower gnome panel with the title "Starting Encryption Preferences" and it disappears with the application launching properly. While this happens, a 'top' indicates a brief appearance of "seahorse-prefer". At the root prompt, we get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/dweber# seahorse-preferences (seahorse-preferences:29644): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. That might be expected after an 'su' within my user gnome-terminal session. If the same app is run as a normal user, within that user gnome-session, it just hangs with no errors or warnings at all. This looks a lot like the hang we get from ssh - no warnings or errors, just hung indefinitely. $ apt-cache search seahorse gpgp - gnome front-end to GnuPG - a free PGP replacement seahorse - A Gnome front end for GnuPG Are these packages the same thing? Do they conflict? It seems that only seahorse picks up the .ssh/ keys when it gets started from: Applications -> Accessories -> Encryption Keys (alias for seahorse 0.9.5) The other gnupgp programs only pickup the GnuPGP keys, they don't touch the ssh keys. I purged seahorse. At this point, I need to post this, logout and then see if ssh will work within gnome-session/terminal. It works fine in tty1, with or without seahorse. -- edgy - ssh client freeze https://launchpad.net/bugs/63479 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
