Has anyone looked into supporting the SSH Agent with the Chromebook Linux environment?
I make use of my Chromebook as a lightweight development machine rather than lugging my MacBook Pro around when most of what I need to do is SSH into servers and edit stuff.

Hi @deinspanjer! We have not yet tested the SSH agent in a Chromebook Linux environment. Thanks for trying it out and for reporting your findings. It seems that the error you're encountering is caused by the 1Password desktop app not being able to obtain the required process information about the app requesting SSH access. The app needs this information to enforce the authorization model described in the docs.
Unfortunately there is probably not a lot you can do to address this issue. For us, it would be interesting to know what window manager is being used in your Chromebook Linux environment. Moreover could you submit an SSH prompting diagnostics report as described here: https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/agent/troubleshooting/ ?
I can't promise an easy fix, but given this information we can better assess what it takes to add support for this and we can consider doing so in the future.
