ssh agent seems to not be running after rebase to -dx

question

Rebased to -dx,

Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

Seems like something that would definitely be setup in -dx, so I'm wondering what I somehow messed up.

Edit:

I've run

systemctl --user enable ssh-agent

systemctl --user enable ssh-agent

and

systemctl --user start ssh-agent

systemctl --user start ssh-agent

systemctl --user

systemctl --user

shows ssh-agent.service and ssh-agent.socket active.

journalctl --user --unit=ssh-agent

journalctl --user --unit=ssh-agent

shows

Jan 28 23:25:49 core systemd[2071]: Started ssh-agent.service - OpenSSH key agent.

Jan 28 23:25:49 core systemd[2071]: Started ssh-agent.service - OpenSSH key agent.

/run/user/1000/ssh-agent.socket

/run/user/1000/ssh-agent.socket

is created.

echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

doesn't print anything.

Setting

SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/ssh-agent.socket"

SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/ssh-agent.socket"

in a terminal doesn't seem to make a difference, while it sets the variable ssh-add still fails.

Edit 2:

eval $(ssh-agent)

eval $(ssh-agent)

and then setting $SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the tmp file created works in that terminal.

export

export

ing the variable does nothing. This does not seem like normal behavior.
