I have a HP Probook 4545s notebook with a some weeks old Arch Linux installation. Most of the time when I want to use Filezilla or SSH, the Gnome password dialog does not appear to ask for the SSH key password. So then I can't use Filezilla or SSH.
I tried both a Gnome session and a Wayland session. In the Gnome session it sometimes works, and in the Wayland session it never does. I can't figure out what is the problem here.
I have found some log entries ( journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon ) :
-- Reboot --

1It is terribly difficult to diagnose something with no error messages. Linux provides a directory with most log files (not all!) in /var/log. You might start by sifting thru those files searching for a relevant entry. – MariusMatutiae – 2015-10-03T06:49:19.947
