Description:
I'm honestly not sure where this bug is coming from since there's several packages that seem to be involved and I don't have another system to test with a different distribution to even know if it's an upstream issue. I'm happy to report this upstream if it is such an issue, I'd just need to know which upstream project is the likely culprit in this case.

When logging in via SDDM into the Plasma Wayland session, gnome-keyring does not seem to work as it is supposed to. Logging in to the standard Plasma session with X still works and automatically unlocks gnome-keyring as expected.

Example error from seahorse:

(seahorse:4926): seahorse-WARNING **: 21:44:20.319: gkr-backend.vala:94: couldn't connect to secret service: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.secrets: Timeout was reached

gnome-keyring-daemon is running, however.

Additional info:
gnome-keyring 1:3.28.2-1
sddm 0.18.0-1
plasma-desktop 5.14.3-1
plasma-wayland 5.14.3-1
wayland 1.16.0-1


Steps to reproduce:

Launch SDDM
Choose Plasma Wayland session
Login
Try to use an application with secrets stored in gnome-keyring

Correction to above: gnome-keyring-daemon does not seem to be getting started by the Plasma Wayland session correctly. The same PAM configuration should be used in both the X and Wayland session cases as far as I know, though:

/etc/pam.d/sddm:

#%PAM-1.0

auth include system-login
-auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
-auth optional pam_kwallet5.so

account include system-login

password include system-login
-password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so use_authtok

session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session include system-login
-session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
-session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start

Since 5.14.4, gnome-keyring-daemon is back to getting started on login, but not being able to be communicated with on Wayland.

The source of the issue here appears to be that under X, gnome-keyring-daemon gets properly initialized with a followup call, but not under Wayland.

ps aux | grep keyring (under X):

hamster+ 8307 0.1 0.0 316440 6652 ? Sl 11:43 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login
hamster+ 8954 0.0 0.0 242332 7264 ? Sl 11:43 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets


Under Plasma Wayland, the second entry (with "--start --foreground --components=secrets") is missing. Attempting to run that command after session start does not appear to resolve the issue, either. Only running the command with "--replace" seems to work (and thus requires inputting the keyring password manually as well).

Is this still an issue?

There was some action on this upstream a few months ago. I don't have a configuration I can test with anymore to verify, though.

Upstream issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-keyring/issues/19

Just tested with a Plasma Wayland session launched by sddm 0.19. My Plasma is built from git (pre-5.22).

Seahorse works normally.
