Re: dbus-daemon: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.secrets'

Did you also run rmlint?
The problem is not so much that something sets DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS (dbus-lauch does, because gnome doesn't find DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS being set) but why the variable isn't set by logind itfp.

Re: dbus-daemon: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.secrets'

I ran rmlint but I didn't actually delete anything with it. 

I have a second user account.  Same story with DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. I login from the shell and then startx, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set to the random temp folder at the time of logging in before running startx.

Re: dbus-daemon: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.secrets'

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set to the random temp folder at the time of logging in before running startx.

For @p-scvtvlatvs it seems to start empty (and only then dbus-launch "fixed" by gnome)

=> "loginctl session-status" (before running startx)
Also post your shell rc(s) - are you using zsh as well?
… and because: anyone here using OMZ?

Re: dbus-daemon: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.secrets'

the loginctl.  Didn't get a chance to reboot my other (working) machine to compare:  https://pastebin.com/KAC2pvag

I'm using bash.  My bashrc is nothing to write home about.

Re: dbus-daemon: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.secrets'

source /usr/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

[[ -r "/usr/share/z/z.sh" ]] && source /usr/share/z/z.sh

?

Edit: also check whether you've the same w/ a fresh user and check the relevant ~/.*profile files that are sourced by login shells.

Re: dbus-daemon: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.secrets'

More interesting than the loginctl is actually whether the fresh user has the bogus $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS as well.

Yep.  On a new user, no dotfiles:

Re: dbus-daemon: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.secrets'

Even though there was no activity here anymore I'll try to push this. The problem sounds very similar to mine.

Starting with a broken gnome-keyring a few month ago I finally found this ticket at gnome. It addresses security hardening resulting with the following message on some systems:

/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets  wrote:

(gnome-keyring-daemon:4719): WARNING **: 16:57:02.868: Couldn't connect to session bus: Ein Nachrichtenbus kann nicht mit setuid erzeugt werden

Studying dbus I discovered that it's pointing to /tmp/ as in this thread.

Similarly to @NGeorgescu I couldn't find any use of dbus-launch

grep -r "dbus-launch" ~

Nothing in /etc/skel/

grep -r systemd /usr/lib/pam.d wrote:

/usr/lib/pam.d/systemd-user:# This file is part of systemd.
/usr/lib/pam.d/systemd-user:# Used by systemd --user instances.
/usr/lib/pam.d/systemd-user:-account sufficient pam_systemd_home.so
/usr/lib/pam.d/systemd-user:-session optional pam_systemd_home.so
/usr/lib/pam.d/systemd-user:session optional pam_systemd.so

I use the bash shell. With

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus 

in my .bashrc I could fix the address but the keyring issue persists.

For login I use gdm. I'm not aware of any misconfiguration from the initial install but I've been running the system for more than 7 years.
A new user has the same problem of course with the dbus address at /tmp

I'm running out of ideas how to solve this and spend quite some time searching on the internet.
When I found the issue at gnome-keyring exactly matching my error profile I thought this will be solved soon. But nothing happens for months since it only appears for some users. Now having found the dbus address issue I went along this path but didn't find a solution.

Can you help me to fix this? Thanks!

I would like to push this as well, as I am experiencing the same issues.
