Gnome Nautilus not recognizing hardware keys for SFTP.

[voronind-com]

Describe the bug

I utilize a Yubikey 5 to connect ssh and sftp. While I am able to connect via command line, nautilus gives me "permission denied" errors.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch Nautilus.
2. Try to connect to sftp://ip
3. Get a permission error.

Expected behavior

Nautilus uses gnupg agent's ssh support.

Additional context

I use this for Yubikey ssh support:

services.udev.packages = [ pkgs.yubikey-personalization ];

programs.gnupg.agent = {
	enable = true;
	enableSSHSupport = true;
};

Possible related Stackoverflow question and Debian discussion with a fix

Also I am using Sway, not Gnome.

I've tried pointing SSH_AUTH_SOCK to /run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh with no luck.

please test it with services.yubikey-agent.enable = true;

please test it with services.yubikey-agent.enable = true;

Tried both with and w/o setting the SSH_AUTH_SOCK - both cases it breaks gpg agent (console auth) and Nautilus does not work, still.

have you logged out and logged in after setting it? If so have you tried ssh-add -K?

I rebooted. Now tried again with ssh-add -K and got this:
