gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file

Recently, I've been getting at login errors of type

 login[580]: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file 

in my journal.
Sometimes the error seems harmless and key-ring unlocks just fine, sometimes other errors follow

login[2467]: couldn't read data from gnome-keyring-daemon: Connection reset by peer
login[2453]: gkr-pam: couldn't unlock the login keyring.

and I have to unlock it by hand.

There are a few topics on this forum about it, and also some commits on the gnome key-ring git-lab that claim to have fixed it already 2 weeks ago.
I'm using dwm, and configured the key-ring according to the arch wiki, both editing pam and .xinitrc, and I login just using the tty console.
Is it possible that the bug is still there?

Re: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file

I'm getting something similar.

gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file 

Are you also running XFCE?

This error would indicate that the env variable 'XDG_RUNTIME_DIR' is not set.

But mine is:

/run/user/1000

This seems correct to me....

Although I'm getting this message, my keyring works because I can succesfully connect to my wireless which is only saved for my user.

Commit used by gnome-keyring 3.31.91 is 1c834760190ecf5a58c6feee441c41baeea07f5f [1] [2]
The only commits I can see after that are translation updates [3] [4].

Re: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file

I'm using dwm.
Indeed I thought commit 2a20a7ac9667bdb68b2c9d553d1fee0f3425f6d4 and the one before it dealt precisely with this issue, but perhaps I'm wrong?

Re: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-ke … 9b67f1324a does not remove the error message
I think what the change does is when [1] [2] or [3] is reached the daemon will be started because need_daemon will now be set to 1.
I would suggest investigating the later messages unfortunately I can not offer any insight into the cause.

login[2467]: couldn't read data from gnome-keyring-daemon: Connection reset by peer
login[2453]: gkr-pam: couldn't unlock the login keyring.

Sorry, I wasn' aware of this

The issue really seems like the env variable "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" is set too late....
But the daemon is started anyway...

Re: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file

In my case it was XDG_BIN_HOME set in .profile. Probably gnome is looking for something in that dir if variable is set and directory exist

IDK what's wrong now and I was so happy. to narrow down the issue I've created a new user directory and copy my settings from old one til I didn't get this "unable to localte..." on login, so it was .local/bin and XDG_BIN. By don't setting xdg var I was able to login into gnome, logout, change my tty and login into dwm environment. But after reboot gnome does not work again, pitty :/

UPD:
I accidentally shadowed some system executable with mine by writing a bad script to populate PATH var. Eh, entire day and useless post...
