[solved] Beryllium : ssh-add needed after startup

Hi,

After some months away from BunsenLabs, I've installed Beryllium in the last few days and I'm having an issue with my SSH keys : after each startup, I have to run ssh-add...

I've seen some old posts mentioning gnome-keyring-daemon but it isn't activated on startup (as shown by bl-xdg-autostart --list).

Is there a way to avoid to run ssh-add each time I start BunsenLabs ?

Thanks in advance !

Re: [solved] Beryllium : ssh-add needed after startup

Yes indeed, put this in ~/.ssh/config:

AddKeysToAgent yes

You will be asked for the passphrase of your ssh key the first time you use it in that session, but not after that.

gnome-keyring-daemon is not xdg auto-started as you found (excluded by entries in the .desktop file) but is started instead in ~/.config/bunsen/environment with components pkcs11,secrets

BUT gnome-keyring-daemon is not needed for ssh: ssh-agent is started automatically when needed.
