Description Gilles Dartiguelongue 2008-08-17 20:38:55 UTC 
Sorry to write such imprecise summary but that all I came up with.

I've been having various problems since I upgrade gnome-keyring to 2.23.6:

 * seahorse can't access the keyrings saying "permission denied", I've checked the folder and files permission and everything looks good on that side. It prevents me from using my registred keys which is a pain obviously.

 * if I remove the keyrings and relog, trying to create a new default keyring (since login keyring is autocreated) results in "Couldn't add keyring, Access Denied"

 * it's probably related to the previous permission denied problems but trying to login on an ssh box with the keys that should be available through the agent results in a "Agent admitted failure to login with key" or something like that.

Is there anything I can do to debug this situation ?

Hmmm, do you think that perhaps the gkr-ask-tool is not callable from gnome-keyring? Could you look through /var/log/auth.log for clues?

Has Gentoo (I believe that's your OS) implemented tighter access controls on X recently?
Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue 2008-08-28 06:46:33 UTC 
after yesterday's tests, it seems that the first problem was somehow solved in upgrade to 2.23.90 and the others are related to the keyring being auto started from pam as I said in bug #547272.
Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue 2008-09-04 21:26:11 UTC 
the fixes in bug #547272 make my problems go away, thanks.
