#112 GNOME Keyring Not Automatically Unlocking with Cosmic Greeter
Closed by ryanabx. Opened by mahtjarohst.

Closed
Reopen Issue

This issue is self-explanatory as per the title.
The gnome-keyring is not unlocked automatically when logging in with the cosmic greeter on Fedora.

This issue is not present in Pop OS.

This is the output of the /etc/pam.d/cosmic-greeter on Fedora:

cat cosmic-greeter
#%PAM-1.0
auth       substack    system-auth
-auth       optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so
-auth       optional    pam_kwallet5.so
-auth       optional    pam_kwallet.so
auth       include     postlogin
account    required    pam_sepermit.so
account    required    pam_nologin.so

session    required    pam_selinux.so open
session    optional    pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    required    pam_namespace.so
session    include     system-auth
-session    optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
-session    optional    pam_kwallet5.so auto_start
-session    optional    pam_kwallet.so auto_start
session    include     postlogin

As far as I know, the ones that need to be there are already there. Such as:

auth       optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so
session    optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

I'd imagine this is related to PAM one way or another, so I'm curious as to what Pop is doing differently here.

I notice that this issue is no longer present on my system. Was there a change made elsewhere that fixes this? If so, issue could probably be closed.

This should be fixed, yeah. It was an issue with the gnome-keyring pam files not being installed.
