[Last Edit: Bophades]
Im trying to set up an eventual ~/.config/autostart/ .desktop file for this.
Now currently, all my ssh-agent and ssh-add to then add my keys work. I just cannot seem to get the command gnome-terminal -- ssh-add to do anything but just bring up a new gnome terminal. also tried the older gnome-terminal --command ssh-add and same damn thing. also tried lots of combos using exec, and also sh -c and just nothing here works.The system will happily do gnome-terminal -- ssh-keygen though, and pop up a new term where I see ssh-keygen was ran and its asking me about saving a key in a file which is 100% expected to happen there. But for some reason ssh-add is special in some way? wtf? normally id expect ssh-add to ask me for the passphrase, and when running this command in an existing gnome-terminal it does just that... just cannot do the command gnome-terminal -- ssh-add where I can do the command gnome-terminal -- ssh-keygen Why doesnt command gnome-terminal -- ssh-add pop up a new gnome-terminal asking my for the passphrase??

Have you tried:
gnome-terminal -e ssh-add ? Or the more generic "xterm -e ssh-add" |

Well #1, gnome is poop and has been since gnome 3, so stuff like this doesn't surprise me.
Maybe try it without "command"? gnome-terminal --ssh-add Also, you're not running it with any arguments, don't know that much about doing that myself but here's what the man page says about it: When run without arguments, it adds the files ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa_sk, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_sk, and ~/.ssh/id_dsa. After loading a private key, ssh-add will try to load corre‐ sponding certificate information from the filename obtained by appending -cert.pub to the name of the private key file. Al‐ ternative file names can be given on the command line. |

The passphrase is read from the user's tty. i wonder if the autostart cant figure out the tty is on the new terminal or something |
