[Solved] element-desktop doesn't start

gtarch · 2025-06-03 07:47:43

I just upgraded and now element-desktop doesn't start.
It throws an error "Error: safeStorage is not available"
I have gnome-keyring-daemon running and the safeStorage backend is configured to gnome_libsecret.
I'm running a wayland xfce session with labwc compositor and element-desktop 1.11.101-1

It throws an error "Error: safeStorage is not available"

Going by https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/element … more/71972 it'll likely print more.
Please post the complete output, not isolated lines, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Why are we dbus-running anything here?
Remove that, it causes

unix:path=/tmp/dbus-4hv9OV1SWF,guid=821d3c454bbd9af6600f4ac3683e94aa

what's likely breaking integration w/ the session bus what's likely why org.freedesktop.secrets doesn't show up despite gkr running.

That's coming from startxfce4.

I edited the script and now I have

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/run/user/1000/bus

and element-desktop starts.
Should I file a bug report against startxfce4?

Edit: Nevermind I checked upstream and the problem has been fixed, but probably not released yet. Marking as solved.

Same error on xfce4:

safeStorage backend 'gnome_libsecret' selected, 'gnome_libsecret' in config.
Error: safeStorage is not available

I use pacman -S gnome-keyring libsecret to solve it.

The OP wrote:

I have gnome-keyring-daemon running and the safeStorage backend is configured to gnome_libsecret.

That's not the original problem. At the time startxfce4 opened a new dbus session, disconnecting gnome-keyring from the session.
You just didn't install the tool you wanted (?) to use.
