Seems to me like `dbus-user-session` was the real culprit causing all the trouble. I got it installed with anbox and that is when the problem started.
I got my keyring daemon to correctly start, the Login keyring to unlock automatically while still being encrypted with my account password again this way: - Purge `dbus-user-session`, e.g. by running `sudo apt purge dbus-user-session` - Revert files in `/etc/pam.d` back to their original state. I had commented out a line in `/etc/pam.d/lightdm` to work around the `gnome-keyring-daemon` not starting in the correct mode issue. - Set my account password on the Login keyring again (using seahorse). I had removed the password and left the keyring unprotected to avoid being asked for the password each session. - Set my user account password to something completely different and then back to my normal password using the `passwd` command. Before doing this, it seemed like the Login keyring and account password weren't yet synced correctly despite being equal. When I rebooted before the `passwd`, it still asked for the keyring password to be entered manually. - Reboot. On my next login, it asked for the Login keyring password to be entered manually one last time, but offered a checkbox to enable unlocking that keyring automatically on boot, which I checked. After this procedure, my system seems to be as good as new again. Running 16.04 with vanilla Unity desktop and lightdm btw. -- 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/1689825 Title: gnome-keyring not unlocked on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dbus/+bug/1689825/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
