Bug#508332: seahorse: won't add personal SSH key to authorized_keys file

[Sébastien Villemot]

Package: seahorse
Version: 2.22.3-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

When I go to the "Properties" dialog box of my personal SSH key, seahorse
refuses to let me tick the checkbox entitled "The owner of this key is
authorized to connect to this computer".

In other terms, seahorse refuses to copy the content of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

When I do the copy manually, the checkbox becomes ticked in seahorse. I can
untick it, but I will then be unable to tick it again.

Best,

Sébastien Villemot
