This morning I updated my Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS system to GNOME 3.20 using the Gnome3 Staging PPA.
One issue is that somehow ssh is not longer asking for my passphrase using ssh-askpass. Instead it always asks on the terminal and I need to enter it each time (it's not added to ssh-agent). I didn't change anything about my personal configuration except install the GNOME 3.20 packages and reboot. If I run "ssh-add" by hand, then the key is added to the agent and it works properly, so the agent is running and configured properly. It's only the ssh-askpass connection thing that is busted. I've noticed that I don't have any SSH_ASKPASS env var set, but I don't remember setting that myself before; also if I set it before starting ssh (export SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ssh-askpass) I still get asked for the passphrase on the terminal. (Also if I run that ssh-askpass by hand I get a standard GNOME dialog, instead of the normal modal dialog I used to get, which dimmed the entire screen--maybe that's an Ubuntu extension? I can't find other askpass commands but maybe they have an unusual name?) I find it odd that this is related to GNOME 3.20 install but I don't know what else it could be since that's all I changed. Anyone have any thoughts, or pointers to what I should look for? -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
