Last modified: 2021-06-18 18:37:44 UTC
Hi, not sure if it's the right place… Seems like gnome-keyring-daemon is no longer correctly launched with user login : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1689825 https://askubuntu.com/questions/898694/gnome-keyring-daemon-not-starting-up-properly https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=2011625 As you may see it happens for many people on different systems : ubuntu 16.04, manjaro and has side-effects on many app's chromium/chrome, evolution, gnome-terminal, gnome-screenshot, deja-dup/duplicity…

Seems to be solved through : sudo apt-get remove --purge dbus-user-session as read here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1689825/comments/62
Problem occurs even if dbus-user-session was never installed. Also, if dbus-user-session hangs Gnome Keyring, doesn't that mean there is something wrong with Gnome Keyring. Software as important and relied on as heavily as Gnome Keyring needs to be robust enough to not cause problems for other software because of one or two bad actors. I've had problems off and on over the years with Gnome Keyring, to the point it is getting a negative reputation.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-keyring/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
