DONE:The keyring did get not unlocked when you logged in your computer

Hello,

So I reinstalled Arch Linux and copied my backups over the the freshly installed system.

Accidently, I've overwritten shadow, group, passwd, etc.

There was still a root shell open, so I reinstalled some meta-packages like follows:

pacman -Sy base base-devel linux-lts linux-firmware man-db posix

Then I reset all the passwords with passwd and the error seems to be fixed.

I also reinstalled sudo and gnome-keyring and everything seems to work.

Now, when I log in to X or Wayland I get a gnome-keyring prompt. Entering my password does not work.

Keymap is set correctly. Also I clicked on "show password" to verify.

This error message is annoying me. How do I get rid of this?

You have to delete the gnome keyring as well, since it seems to be synched to the old password...

~~It lives inside ~/.local/share...somewhere I can’t recall or XDG_DATA_HOME if defined.~~

Note that if you define XDG_DATA_DIR you have to go there instead of the default dir.
In normal scenarios that’s not the case...

I did deleted the keyring and the files got recreated on next login.

Thanks for the help.

So it’s fixed? Remember to mark as solved if fixed.
