Are you using Ubuntu? If so, Seahorse (the default key manager in
Ubuntu) should prompt you automatically for your passphrase and cache
it.  Keychain might be interfering with it, so try to uninstall it
first. Then verify in Applications → Accessories → Passwords and
Encryption Keys that Seahorse sees your SSH key.

I hope that helps,
