[SOLVED] Login password box locked

SimonJ · 2025-07-18 18:07:25

I have keepassxc setup for secret service integration and I am having issues with logging in after suspend and hibernation, the password prompt is locked, I am unable to enter a password. I have to switch user, login, and then the password box comes back again, and now I can enter the password.

While secure it is annoying :-)

It seems it is pam looking for gnome-keyring, although everything is optional

 grep pam_gnome_keyring /etc/pam.d/*
/etc/pam.d/budgie-screensaver:auth       optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so
/etc/pam.d/budgie-screensaver:#auth       optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so
/etc/pam.d/lightdm:-auth       optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so
/etc/pam.d/lightdm:-session    optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
/etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin:-auth       optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so
/etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin:-session    optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

Journal https://0x0.st/8d9M.txt

I have aded this

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.secrets
Exec=/usr/bin/keepassxc

as
$HOME/.local/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.secrets.service
but it has not helped with this although it has not made anything worse either.
Everything else is working, and I am getting informed of access to the database by applications as needed.

Does the journal actually cover such incident (there's no trace of sleep or hibernation)?
Do you run into the problem by merely locking the screen (no sleep/hibernation required)?
Do you run into https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Securi … n_attempts ?

It does not happen if I merely lock the session, only suspend and hibernate.

http://0x0.st/8dpU.txt I just did a suspend and this is the journal from that.

It is on initial presentation of the box so I don't see how it can be failed attempts causing it.

Edi: more context

Faillock could have been triggered by somethingelse™ (eg. cron jobs that call sudo tend to cause this for users)

I added deny = 0 to /etc/security/faillock.conf
Rebooted, then suspended and no change.

Thank you.

The main concern would still be

jul 18 22:08:34 silex budgie-screensaver-dialog[4077]: PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so): /usr/lib/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

SimonJ · 2025-07-18 20:28:48

That works, no lock and keepassxc requires a password so that will do. I will check hibernate and mark as solved :-)

Thank you

Edit: hibernate is not locked, the issue is solved.
