Bug description

not sure this issue is related to cinnamon, may be a problem of ssh-agent...
this is the same issue posted at : linuxmint/linuxmint#705

i repost it since it is still here in LM 22.1 beta.

after logout and login again with the same user, the ssh-agent is running, but SSH_AUTH_SOCK env is not set
thus ssh-add say : "could not open a connection to your authentication agent"

Steps to reproduce

login into cinnamon session, launch ssh-add -L in a terminal

• it display the ssh-key identities of the user
  logout and login again with the same user, relaunch ssh-add -L in a terminal
• it says : could not open a connection to your authentication agent

Expected behavior

ssh-agent should work in every cinnamon session, not just the 1st one.

Try creating /lib/systemd/user-preset/99-gnome-keyring-daemon-disable.preset

sudo touch  /lib/systemd/user-preset/99-gnome-keyring-daemon-disable.preset
sudo nano /lib/systemd/user-preset/99-gnome-keyring-daemon-disable.preset

and add

disable gnome-keyring-daemon*

Then run

sudo systemctl --global disable gnome-keyring-daemon.service
sudo systemctl --global disable gnome-keyring-daemon.socket

reboot

Hi,

i've just done that in a brand new LM22.1 beta.
it seem to fix the problem, i have tried several logout/login and ssh-agent ( ssh-add -L ) is working now in every session.

i don't fully understand why but this seems to fix the problem. thank you.
