Public bug reported: There's a bug that affects gnome-keyring, and i'll describe the steps i've done to reproduce it twice, although i don't have full details as to what exactly is causing it.
Issue can be summarized as follows: On Ubuntu 19.10, but not at least 18.04 (another computer i have using the older release), there's an issue that prevents the user to login to a gnome session The issue shows up when checking the session manager: ``` service gdm3 status Process: ExecStartPre: /usr/share/gdm/generate-config (code=exited,status=0/SUCCESS) Process: ExecStartPre: /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wait-for-drm (code=exited,status=0/SUCCESS) ... gdm-password: gkr-pam: unable to local control file ``` Relevant components: * gdm3 3.34.1-1 * gnome-shell 3.34.1-1 * gnome-keyring 3.34.0-1 * zsh 5.77.1-ubuntu2 This does not occur on a fresh installation of Ubuntu. It only happens once some of these tools are installed: * zsh (ubuntu package https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/zsh , manually change shell for user) - https://askubuntu.com/questions/131823/how-to-make-zsh-the-default-shell * oh-my-zsh (brings in lots of plugins, although only git was sourced) - https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Installing-ZSH * powerlevel10k (shell theme ) - https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k The tools would appear to work fine, until you reboot the machine, and are asked to login, at which point gkr-pam complains that it can't locate control file. Unfortunately i don't have better details because eventually i broke so much my login that i decided to reinstall the system from scratch. Upon installation, i started from fresh, with no zsh, and everything worked. Once zsh was installed, it will no longer work. A fix for this was to revert to bash shell. The key change was to no include this line at the top of .bashrc ``` #exec zsh ``` So i can confirm the issue is there, but that's as far as i got after several hours of investigations. I appreciate that this bug may not be a gnome-keyring specific bug, but seems that its the one been affected anyways. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-keyring/issues/28 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-keyring/issues/26 https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-keyring/blob/master/pam/gkr-pam-module.c#L676 https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-keyring/blob/master/pam/gkr-pam-module.c#L847 https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-keyring/commit/443a821cba105e8f277828a67b3d019b67f1324a https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-keyring/commit/b22d058a055ec3e0f31ae16417f16b42baadb42f https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1817128 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1818616 ** Affects: gnome-keyring (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: eoan -- 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/1849081 Title: ZSH shells break Login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1849081/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
