In my opinion, for Ubuntu-based distributions the root cause of the bug is in lightdm package. At least, in quantal it becomes default display manager for all desktops including non-GNOME ones.
In files: * /etc/pam.d/lightdm * /etc/pam.d/lightdm-greeter it has the following line: session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start The line starts gnome-keyring daemon for all desktops, while only few of them can properly set up gnome-keyring right now. Probably only_if argument should be used, so keyring daemon will start only for supported environment. One possible workaround is to switch from lightdm to DE speciffic display manager which don't start gnome-kering at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932177 Title: XFCE (and other non-GNOME) desktops do not initialise gnome-keyring correctly / WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to PKCS11 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-keyring/+bug/932177/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
