Hello,
As per the subject: it's a lot of time that I see the following warnings in my system log and I've not been able to sort it out yet:
gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file gkr-pam: stashed password to try later in open session
My system detail in my signature below.
Thanks and regards,

If I run 'sudo journalctl --this-boot | grep -B2 -A2 gkr-pam', I see those messages too but they're associated with lightdm & i3lock, both of which I use on this system along with having 'pam_gnome_keyring.so' as a part of my pam config ; I assume gkr is a reference to gnome_keyring. I also have a script to unlock the secrets component for 'gnome-keyring-daemon' before I start using Remmina to RDP to a Win11 laptop. I don't use Gnome/KDE, but bspwm as my DE so not everything is loaded as part of a suite of tools. I've been doing this for a long time (at least 6mos on this machine) and never even noticed this before. Granted I don't generally comb through journalctl unprompted 😋️.
I'm not sure these are a[n indication of a] real problem, just some (extra) chatter around what the keyring is doing when other PIDs interface with it - which for me makes sense because I'm actively using it.

Thanks for your valuable answer Scott!

I have no idea what they are.
They are not trivial, not important messages: they are issued at warning level (SYSLOGPRIORITY ≤ 4), so the developer thought they are important.

Hi Carlos,
Thanks, one more telling me to ignore these warning.
Then may be the developer responsible for this module should disable it to be sent out, if they are negligible (IMHO).
Regards,
If your are not using Gnome desktop simply remove the gnome-keyring-pam package
zypper remove gnome-keyring-pam
The package seems to have been installed by some pattern at install time...

Hi Ariez,
I'm using XFCE and Cinnamon then I will try to uninstall such rpm.
Hope to avoid to face dependencies errors for some other package I installed.
Thanks for your suggestion!

Now let's see what happens when rebooting the system.

Rebooting and log-in correctly, uninstalling the package is safe!

Instead I uninstalled gnome-keyring-pam without any zypper warnings.
I will try to reboot now to see if the system works or not.

At least see what depends on it. rpm -e --test gnome-keyring-pam
