gnome-keyring-daemon crashes when blank passwords are entered.

naelstrof · 2013-09-05 03:25:33

Steps to reproduce:

Install fresh Arch Linux
Install chromium, gnome, xorg-server, and xorg-xinit
Put "exec gnome-session" in ~/.xinitrc
Launch startx
Open chromium
On prompt for new keyring creation, leave password fields blank and press OK.
Witness gnome-shell crashing.

What's supposed to happen:

It's supposed to prompt the user asking if it's OK to have unencrypted keys.

What happens:

The gnome-shell crashes, and no keyrings or passwords were set or created.

journalctl output:

Anyone got any tips to what could be wrong? It's infuriating to have it ask to create a new key, while it won't let me set a blank key.
Giving the prompt an actual password works as intended, it's impossible to set it as a blank password, even using seahorse.

It's acting as if something is wrong with DBus, but journalctl -u dbus shows no problems. as well as systemctl status dbus.

Thanks for any help.

Oh yeah and attempting to use gdm causes the gnome-session not to launch at all. Since gdm created a key, I'm guessing the problems are related.

I found an acceptable workaround:

Create a keychain with the same password as your account named "Login" using the keychain utility seahorse.
Follow the autologin instructions for console based login here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GN … at_Startup
Restart X.

gdm still fails to start x though, despite the startx command working fine.

Uninstalling gnome-keychain works just as well though :u.
