Feb 7, 2018 at 16:54 comment added Barleyman Okay, I corrected the question to say it asks for my password. @RuiFRibeiro why would ssh keychain agent affect gksudo? I enabled it anyways and it did nothing as expected. I don't have any ssh keys installed to start with.

Feb 7, 2018 at 16:30 comment added DopeGhoti gksudo should never ask for the root password. It should ask for your password. Unless you're logged in as root, in which case: why are you logging into a GUI as root?
Feb 7, 2018 at 16:05 comment added Rui F Ribeiro ssh-agent probably is not running. Is it installed?
