GOSH!!! After this bug has driven me totally crazy I finally focused out the actual cause of the described issue: character '?'.
Yes that is, if you choose a password for gnome keyring containing the ? character the keyring cannot open the keyrings any more reproducing the described misbehavior. Changing the password solves the problem. -- gnome keyring manager cannot create permanent keyrings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
