Package: plasma-workspace
Version: 4:5.26.0-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
when I start a KDE Plasma Wayland session, the ssh-agent is not working: attempting to load my SSH key into the agent (in Konsole via ssh-add) fails saying
"Could not open a connection to your authentication agent."
This is probably caused by the fact that the SSH_AUTH_SOCK env var is not set. (I am now setting it in my .bashrc to work around the issue.)
I have no idea how that env var is *supposed* to end up in the plasma session, but whatever mechanism is supposed to achieve that is not working.
I can see that ssh-agent comes with a systemd user service, which is setting the required variable in "dbus-update-activation-environment", so maybe KDE is somehow supposed to fetch that and that is not working?
Or maybe it's something else entirely. From feedback I got on IRC, it seems other distros have special ssh-agent scripts in /etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env/, but I don't know if that is something standard.
Kind regards,
Ralf
