This problem still exists in oneiric with default lubuntu setup. SSH_AUTH_SOCK is point to ssh-agent socket which is started by /etc/X11/Xsession. Gnome-keyring starts but environment variables are not exported in LXDE/Lubuntu session. And I can not find the place where it's exported by gnome/unity session. So the only workaround I found is to add to ~/.profile or somewhere in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/...: export `/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=ssh`
So, I think this should be fixed the way similar to gnome-session, to allow enabling/disabling it via .config/autostart gui tools. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664206 Title: SSH_AUTH_SOCK not being properly set: user has to type password even if saved in the password manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-keyring/+bug/664206/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
