This is for Ubuntu-gnome DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS" that also uses gnome shell although I am not sure why as it seems it does not work either Both Opera browser and any version of Chrome or google-chrome demand it. However at start just below gnome-panel it is the second highest use of memory at startup. Currently sitting at over 32Mb real and 384 virtual memory. There is only one login is [Passwords and Keys]. Others seem unhappy with 1mb of ram, I however wish I could get it this low. /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login is the command loaded. Version gnome-keyring 3.10.1-1ubuntu4.3 Killing the process my system is entirely more responsive

Start one or more gnome-terminal sessions connected to remote server by ssh and leave them open for at least half an hour or more, e.g. snippet from pstree: |-gnome-terminal(404)-+-bash(463) | |-bash(4195) | |-bash(14698)---ssh(14759) | |-bash(16908) | |-bash(18025) | |-bash(19604) | |-bash(20717)---man(20779)---pager(20795) | |-bash(23307) | |-bash(23607)-+-less(24019) | | `-pstree(24018) 3) The result in an hour or more is gnome-kerying-daemon process is using almost 1/6 of all of the host memory: $ ps -p 32051 -o pcpu,pmem,pid,comm %CPU %MEM PID COMMAND 1.1 15.8 32051 gnome-keyring-d $ cat /proc/32051/cmdline /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon--daemonize--login If freshly started it is using not more than 1MB or less. 4) The expected is to leave the session for days at a time without any need for gnome-keyring-daemon to be restarted. 5) The problem is reproducible always, just have to leave some terminals open for some time. Some remarks: - Tried to reproduce similar behaviour with Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 without success. - The same issue was reproducible also in Linux Mint 17 Qiana. In fact the host was upgraded from Quiana to Rebecca some months ago. - Logging out and log-in back resolves the issue as the keyring daemon is restarted. - Attempting to restart just the process results in: /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon -r --daemonize ** Message: couldn't communicate with already running daemon: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. ** Message: Replacing daemon, using directory: /run/user/1000/keyring-PQyeQe GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/run/user/1000/keyring-PQyeQe SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/keyring-PQyeQe/ssh GPG_AGENT_INFO=/run/user/1000/keyring-PQyeQe/gpg:0:1 GNOME_KEYRING_PID=28477 Password unlock prompt opens for every gnome-terminal window or session opened.
