12 | Yes. HOWEVER:

23 | That's strange - there's nothing listening on /tmp/keyring-L12w0n and
24 | for sure not on the ssh named pipe in that directroy.

29 | Yes.

55 |
56 | So there are two that are out of ideas.
57 |
58 | It seems there are two strange things:
59 |
60 | - ssh agent env.var is pointing to the wrong directory.
61 | - nothings reading from the ssh pipe in the wrong directory.
62 |
63 | Strange, isn't it?
64 |
65 | BTW: The lsof command I ran was correct, wasn't it? I'd expect
66 | that it would've shown a command which had /tmp/keyring/L12w0n/ssh
67 | open.

71 Ok, so looking at your original post, gvfs, gnome-vfs, and seahorse were
72 upgraded. I'm not much of a gnome guy but I do know that apps do all
73 sorts of strange stuff if I upgrade deps and don't restart them
74 (forget). When's the last time you restarted gnome / your box? I know
75 it's not the the NIX way to reboot when you can't fix it (as it usually
76 doesn't fix the problem) but I'm running out of ideas
