Hi, I've followed the WSL2 steps but it doesn't seem working:

$ source $HOME/omni-socat/ubuntu-bash.setup.sh
$ ssh-add -l
error fetching identities: communication with agent failed

However, it seems the $SSH_AUTH_SOCK has changed:

$ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
/home/maicol07/.ssh/agent.sock

I'm using the 1Password proxy mode. Can you help me? Thanks

Getting 'Agent protocol error' in Keepassxc while trying to do so. I lack the understanding of how it works to locate where the error occurs, or it's not working just for me since something else are broken/misconfigured.

Steps to reproduce:

Run OmniSSHAgent with default config. Start KeepassXC with "Use Pageant" selected, Click "OK". Get "Agent protocol error." message whenever you try to add keys / open up SSH Agent config.

// OpenSSH works just fine tho

First: Thx a lot for the awesome solution! I got it working quite well following the instruction in README.md Only thing a little unclear to me was "4. Run OmniSSHAgent.exe" under USAGE. As the "exe" is excutable as well as from within WSL and also from WIN11 environment, I needed one more attempt to get it working when running it from within WIN11. Still the following is not yet fully clear to me ..

• OmniSSHAgent needs to be started as the same user as the user invoking WSL. It does not work if started "as Administrator".
• After a system Re-Boot I need to start OmniSSHAgent at least once to make it work again. I can close it right after and it seems to continue to work. As of the first point it doesn't work running it as a Windows service, I'd like to know what would be a suitable/recommended way of starting the program after system restart. I assume that starting it as part of some "Run-at-Start" (Login) group would be the way to go. But I'd appriciate some guidance/instructions from expert how to best implement this.

thx -stefan

Every time program restarts it populates tray icon duplicates in windows options (not the tray itself), and forgets if it has "visible" option checked.

I prefer to have all the tray icons visible, and drag tray icon out from 'hidden' to stay near keepass every time program restarts. After several times doing that, it populated taskbar settings dialog quite a bit.

This may not be a bug since I've made some tweaks on my system, neither it is a real problem after selecting to show them all in explorer shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9} windows dialog.

Also, if I restart Explorer, icon is gone for good.

It seems that named pipe stops working after a while the system is on:

PS C:\Users\Maicol> ssh-add -l
Error connecting to agent: No such file or directory
PS C:\Users\Maicol> Get-ChildItem \\.\pipe\|findstr open
------        01/01/1601     01:00              1 openssh-ssh-agent

WSL:

  ~ ❯ ssh-add -l                                                                                              19:43:23
error fetching identities: communication with agent failed

However, Git bash works:

$ ssh-add -l

256 SHA256:ZgvmgA5CNIpEbTZWepclAdXC9fVBFsB1kvmM14Egjm8 id_ed25519 (ED25519)

I've currently tested the named pipe mode and the 1password proxy mode and the two modes are affected. Do you have any clue? Thanks
