KeeAgent 0.12.1 on KeePass2 2.47 does not function (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) - root cause SSH_AUTH_SOCK isn't set

Did you correctly set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable before using ssh?

Hi,
i think that may be the failure.
printenv | grep SSH
shows nothing.
I will look for How to set SSH_AUTH_SOCK and post it here.

another indication, that SSH_AUTH_SOCK is not present, is the following answer:
ssh-add -l
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

It is definitivly something wrong in my environment with ssh and ssh-agent and the environment variable SSH_AUTH_SOCK.

Why this?
If i start Ubuntu-Linux, additional a shell in my graphical desktop and type in this shell

ps ax | grep ssh
1031 ? Ss 0:00 sshd: /usr/sbin/sshd -D [listener] 0 of 10-100 startups
2363 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent -s
3510 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto ssh

further
env | grep SSH has no output.

After typing
eval ssh-agent // manual start of the ssh-agent

and
env | grep SSH // the output is
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXXXXXhjbGUf/agent.3868
SSH_AGENT_PID=3869

At last i start KeePass2 in the "background" with following &
keepass2 &
[1] 3910

The final step is
ssh @xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the mandatory configuration ssh-keygen, ssh-copy-id and so on...
all works fine_

The open task is to configure ssh in that way, so SSH_AUTH_SOCK is set system-wide. The variable above is only visible in the shell.

But this is another story.

So i will close this issue with many thanks to David.
His hint was crucial!!

Please look at this thread. Environment variable SSH_AUTH_SOCK isn't set. I hope someone can help me.
