I have my own ssh server (on raspberry pi 5, Ubuntu Server 23) but when I try to connect from my PC using key authentication (having password disabled), I get a blank screen. A blinking cursor.
However, once I enter the command eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" and try ssh again, I successfully login after entering my passphrase. I don’t want to issue this command every time. Is that possible?
This does not occur when I have password enabled on the ssh server. Also, ideally, I want to enter my passphrase EVERYTIME I connect to my server, so ideally I don’t want it to be stored in cache or something. I want the passphrase to be a lil’ password so that other people can’t accidentally connect to my server when they use my PC.
Search for /run/user/1000/gcr/ssh on the Internet. I’m on my phone and didn’t find the solution, but I’m sure you’ll find it.
I searched. When I change this variable (path), it works. So in the startup script for my terminal (~/.zshrc) I added this:
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-agent-$USER-socket export SSH_AUTH_SOCKNow it works, but I’m not sure why. Anything BUT
/run/user/1000/gcr/sshworks I think
