when I call ssh-add I get the following error message:

Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

It looks like ssh-agent isn't running. I don't want to run it manually. I would like to have it running automatically. Does anybody know how to configure that under Suse 12.1 with KDE?

  • Uhh you have to give ssh-agent your password so you do have to start it manually. – Joshua May 11 '12 at 19:20
  • No, that is not straight forward. If you had a look in any discussion about this topic you would have seen this. – user1169333 May 14 '12 at 07:14

Solved.

This works fine for me:

cp /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession ~/.xsession
