What Fedora and OpenSSH version are you using? Does it work if you
downgrade openssh? Are you using gnome-keyring? What is the output of
"echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK"?
probably only for the record as I don't expect many Fedora/ppc64le
desktop users here and the problem seems to be ppc64le specific :-)
You get the "agent refused operation" there, because the gcr-prompter
process (dbus service) crashes when unlocking the ssh key, for more
details see
