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.
Hey that works too! Same effect as my previous workaround, that I just posted yesterday.
I do have to repeat this command everytime, so I had to put it into ~/.zshrc so it’s executed beforehand in every new terminal.
It still does feel lile a workaround since it ‘resets’ itself (as I said) with every new terminal.
So, this is set somewhere in your config files, I think. Maybe try:
Just to see where it’s being set.
