Gnome-keyring issues

Hi,

I have some trouble getting the gnome-keyring to work as I want it to.
I use i3 and LightDM.
I added this to my .xinitrc and it starts the keyring:

# Start GNOME Keyring
eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=gpg,pkcs11,secrets,ssh)
# You probably need to do this too:
export GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL GNOME_KEYRING_PID GPG_AGENT_INFO SSH_AUTH_SOCK

But not everything is working. Passwords by evolution are stored, also NetworkManager passphrases. What is not working is:
- Storing a gpg encryption password (though the key is supposed to be in the keyring)
- Storing passwords from chromium

Also the exports are not working. while GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL and GNOME_KEYRING_PID are set GPG_AGENT_INFO and SSH_AUTH_SOCK are not set, although they are available (checked via gnome-keyring-daemon -s)

I hope you can help me to get this working

Re: Gnome-keyring issues

I tried to do the same as you.

Maybe you need to do an export per variable?

Re: Gnome-keyring issues

Could you post the output generated by:

/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=gpg,pkcs11,secrets,ssh

please?

This is the output I get:

GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/run/user/1000/keyring-W2MlWH
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/keyring-W2MlWH/ssh
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/run/user/1000/keyring-W2MlWH/gpg:0:1

Re: Gnome-keyring issues

That's odd.

Will it work if you set SSH_AGENT_PID to some arbitrary value? Just to make sure it's set.

Re: Gnome-keyring issues

I added exported "SSH_AGENT_PID=42" before starting the keyring and still have the same output

Re: Gnome-keyring issues

Instead of starting a full-blown session. Start only a terminal and check if the env vars are properly set.

Re: Gnome-keyring issues

When I start it in a shell on my Desktop all works well (except for the gpg component) . Also I can export the vars there so that it works on the whole system.
But on my Laptop I get the same behaviour as before. Could I be missing a package or something?

EDIT: Also on my Desktop there is an ssh-agent process which there isnt on the laptop
