    Can't get ksshaskpass to work

    I've followed various instructions on how to set up GUI-based key authentication, and have placed the suggested script into .kde/Autostart (and made it executable):

    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    # set SSH_ASKPASS if not set elsewhere
    export SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ssh-askpass
    ssh-add </dev/null
    And including this one https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...authentication and followed its suggestion of replacing ksshaskpass with ssh-askpass, but all no avail.

    My understanding is that ssh-add some_key on the command line will initiate a popup asking for the key passphrase, but it asks for it in the terminal as usual.

    Running /usr/bin/ssh-askpass does show the popup.

    Am I missing something or is that the expected behaviour?
    Thanks!
Working...
