You're *probably* missing the gnome-keyring package. you'll need: - ssh-agent (to remember) - an app that processes your passphrase (gnome-keyring or pinentry-gtk) ssh-agent is part of openssh-clients. It's usually run by gnome- keyring-daemon. Look in the process list for it. It should be running. ssh-add is a cli app that will let you add the key and trigger a passphrase without a GUI. You can see if a key is being remembered by running 'ssh-add -l' gnome-shell should prompt for the key (the prompt will be themed like gnome-shell), but so can pinentry/pinentry-gtk (themed like a Gtk2 app) _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/CUBJ7HVHIMMSFRV5EJAQ25XIGZB5WVG4/
