While this is not a big endian problem, it is a problem and it is NOT
solved yet.  I doubt it will be solved until Ubuntu bug 1420522
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/1420522> is
solved.

This is GNOME bug 754028 <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754028>
(Among others, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?no_redirect=0&quicksearch=ed25519#)

  I tried generating a new key. this worked for a few logons, but then i
  get back to this error.

  I think it is to do with the local key agent. i found that
   SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 ssh oberon
  works fine.
