Gnome Keyring is failing

[bennworah]

Hello Experts,

I am trying to use gnome-keyring on an application that i am running on Centos, i encountered the below error message when trying to store my secret key within the gnome-keyring. This might not be the right platform to drop this, but may be someone can assist me.

Free Desktop Secret Service

On a RHEL or Centos platform, the most secure backend is Free Desktop Secret Service run in a Python 3 environment.

The first 5 steps of setting up the keyring ran correctly for me, so I am assuming that goes correctly for you as well.

[tux@rhel8 ~]$ dbus-run-session -- sh

-rw-------. 1 tux tux 207 Oct 27 16:45 user.keystore
sh-4.4$ keyring --list-backends
keyring.backends.SecretService.Keyring (priority: 5)
keyring.backends.fail.Keyring (priority: 0)
keyring.backends.chainer.ChainerBackend (priority: -1)

res-keyring doesn't seem to be a part of the gnome-keyring package but some python application which I can't find, not through pip and not by searching for python applications with that name. Since setting up the keyring worked correctly because of not getting any errors there I would think the problem is with they python application res-keyring. I would ask the developers of the res-keyring package what the problem is.

I think the res-keyring is using rescue to try and recover the gnome keyring - I would try removing the old gnome keyring and then reinstall it

Also make sure libsecret-devel is installed

Hello,
Thank you for the response. Truly the res-keyring is a utility that will recover the stored password from the gnome keyring.

How can I remove the old gnome keyring and then reinstall??

I know in Ubuntu and Debian it is

sudo apt-get remove gnome-keyring

but I am not that familiar with CentOS syntax I think it would be

sudo yum remove gnome-keyring

and then

sudo yum install gnome-keyring
