  • Then there are the cases where you want the LLM to actually interact with the page, using the current web page state and your credentials.

    For example, one might want to tell it to uncheck all the “opt in” checkboxes in the page… And express this task in plain English language.

    Many useful interactive agent tasks could be achieved with this. The chatbot would be merely the first step.




  • At the end of the log you find:

    822413 connect(4, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/run/user/1000/gcr/ssh"}, 110) = 0
    ...
    822413 read(4, 
    

    meaning it’s trying to interact with the ssh-agent, but it (finally) doesn’t give a response.

    Use the lsof command to figure out which program is providing the agent service and try to resolve issue that way. If it’s not the OpenSSH ssh-agent, then maybe you can disable its ssh-agent functionality and use real ssh-agent in its place…

    My wild guess is that the program might be trying to interactively verify the use of the key from you, but it is not succeeding in doing that for some reason.



  • As mentioned, -v (or -vv) helps to analyze the situation.

    My theory is that you already have something providing ssh agent service, but that process is somehow stuck, and when ssh tries to connect it, it doesn’t respond to the connect, or it accepts the connection but doesn’t actually interact with ssh. Quite possibly ssh doesn’t have a timeout for interacting with ssh-agent.

    Using eval $(ssh-agent -s) starts a new ssh agent and replaces the environment variables in question with the new ones, therefore avoiding the use of the stuck process.

    If this is the actual problem here, then before running the eval, echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK would show the path of the existing ssh agent socket. If this is the case, then you can use lsof $SSH_AUTH_SOCK to see what that process is. Quite possibly it’s provided by gnome-keyring-daemon if you’re running Gnome. As to why that process would not be working I don’t have ideas.

    Another way to analyze the problem is strace -o logfile -f ssh .. and then check out what is at the end of the logfile. If the theory applies, then it would likely be a connect call for the ssh-agent.










  • Boox Tab Ultra

    Looks pretty nice device! Even the camera makes a bit sense in the demo they give (though apparently in practice the scanning rarely works). And cheaper to boot as well. I might consider getting this one.

    But is the display really better quality? Atleast the DPI is slightly higher at 219 on the Boox Tab Ultra vs 190 on the Daylight. And Boox weighs 70 grams less, and that’s the device some reviews call heavy (and some lightweight…).

    These reviews mention the slow display speed:

    So perhaps there is some room for improvement? That being said, some other reviews don’t mention it and one says it’s faster than typical e-ink display, though that doesn’t sound immediately purely praising.


    In the end it probably comes to the software: how fast it is, it well it works, how nice it is to use. It seems both have customized the standard Android, so I suppose the difference is in which one has done it better and which one has better custom apps. Per the reviews Boox doesn’t fare too well in this aspect. Maybe someone will make a comparative review of the devices.
