Hi,
Up to before the 3.3 kernels showed up in F16, I was able to do the
following:
ssh-add
without a problem.
From the 3.3 kernel updates on, I get the following:
$ ssh-add
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
This is worked around on window-by-window or tab-by-tab basis by doing
the following:
$ ssh-agent bash
followed by
$ ssh-add
and then things revert back to the previous behaviour (only for that
tab/window, however). This is quite irritating.
I have tried this with a fully updated F16 as well as a shiny new F17.
Same problem. The problem however does not show up with the rusty old
F16 (the one that came "in the box", or rather the usb/cd so to speak).
I am using the LXDE spin.
Any ideas as to what is causing this behaviour? How to fix it
permanently? Does it call for a bugzilla report? Under what component?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
