ownCloud client - 'No keychain service available'

Hi,

I am having a problem running owncloud client with a fresh arch linux installation using only i3 as WM.
The error I get is that owncloud asks me my password with the error "Reading from keychain failed with error: 'No keychain service available'" each time owncloud starts after I start X.

It seems the issue is known, e.g.

https://www.bountysource.com/issues/281 … ord-prompt
https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/3726

but I cannot fix.

I have tried to install a "keychain service", i.e. gnome-keyring-daemon via "eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start)" in my .xinitrc; I can see the process is running but it still does not fix the issue.
Essentially I have the same problem as this person: https://www.reddit.com/r/i3wm/comments/ … n_a_clean/

Any help would be appreciated.

You have to install

libgnome-keyring

Once installed enter your password and restart session (even PC just to be sure). That solved my problem BUT I use Gnome and gnome-keyring. Theoretically, it should work to you too.

Can confirm this fixes it.
