[opensuse-factory] gnome keyring working for anyone?

Hi factory testers, (I know that opensuse-gnome would be the more appropriate list, but I want to first check if it works for anyone at all). I cannot get gnome keyring to work at all, means: neither nm-applet nor pidgin store the passwords in the keyring, pidgin stores them unobscured in .purple. I also never get asked for a master password. I removed everything .gnome, .gconf, .purple, I also tried a new user. I have a system that has KDE as default, but I installed a truckload of GNOME packages since yesterday, so I think I should not be missing anything anymore (I can also log into GNOME at the KDM login screen). It does not work regardless if I'm logged into GNOME or KDE. Any hints for debugging? Thanks, seife -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 can you try to login using GDM or LXDM ? i guess the issue is a patch used suse gnome, that enable keyring only in gnome/lxde with gdm/lxdm IMHO it's useless and wrong to have, but i guess it's not something i can choose to change... an openfate feature is the proper way to do it. (i think the patch is useless, mostly coz knetworkmanager is always broken and features less than nm-applet and nm-applet can't use kwallet... so people want to use nm-applet in kde (me) can't do it in the best way) Andrea Il 19/04/2010 17:37, Stefan Seyfried ha scritto:

switching to GDM and logging into a cleaned user (rm /home/tux; cp /etc/skel /home/tux), into GNOME, did not help. I think I might be missing a package, but I have no Idea how to trouble shoot.

Definitely works for me, although it took some time to get in a good shape in factory (or, actually, upstream). Is gnome-keyring-daemon running in your session? Is the GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL environment variable set? Also, which versions of gnome-keyring and libgnome-keyring do you have?

FWIW, pidgin doesn't store passwords in the keyring anymore: we killed that patch to go closer to upstream, and because it was causing various issues.

Hi Vincent, first of all: it now works, so it's not a gnome-keyring-daemon issue ;) On Tue, 20 Apr 2010 20:45:23 +0200 Vincent Untz <vuntz@opensuse.org> wrote:

Current FACTORY gnome-keyring-2.30.0-1.7.x86_64 libgnome-keyring0-2.30.0-1.3.x86_64 But the last test was before I did update on friday.

Ok, that explains it. Last week I was on the road and had no encrypted wireless to test with, so I did only test with pidgin... Today at home, I did eval `gnome-keyring-daemon -s --components=secrets` nm-applet and after adding my network with passphrase, I had to unlock the keyring with my login password => works as designed.
