Can't unlock my password in seahorse

English Applications

Hello Community:

I just did a fresh install of 11.4
My system auto-logs in and I know there’s a bug in seahorse that doesn’t like that method.

Anyway, I tried to unlock my “Passwords: login” in seahorse, but it won’t budge.

The details about this user are that I re-used an 11.3 /home/$user directory. Could that be the reason?
I logged out of the Desktop and back in using my password manually.
I can sudo with my password. I can change the system with my password everywhere except in seahorse.
The password is exactly the same in 11.4 as it was in 11.3.

The .gnupg/ directory is 600 and its contents are all 600 except for agent.info which is 644.

Following a year old post, I got this from shell:

echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO
/tmp/keyring-qP4QMk/gpg:0:1

ls -l /tmp/keyring-qP4QMk/gpg
srwxr-xr-x 1 jj2 users 0 Mar 11 2011  5:18 PM /tmp/keyring-qP4QMk/gpg

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You for your time.

since another seahorse user might have the same problem after freshly
installing 11.4, and might google into this thread looking for help:

please tell us how you solved the problem…

DenverD:

Under a fresh install there is no “Password: login” entry in seahorse.
Using sftp://mydomain.com just now prompted me to add this entry to my empty keyring along with creating a new password for the seahorse keyring.
It works as expected.

My mistake was copying the ~/.gnupg from the other install over to the newly installed 11.4

I now realize I should have exported my public/private key in the other OS and imported them into 11.4 instead of mass copying .directories from another install.

However, the “Remember forever” option upon Unmount and reconnect does NOT work as expected.
I get prompted for user/pass every time even if “Remember forever” is selected and the keyring IS unlocked. Strange.
So does this now become a nautilus issue or a seahorse one?

What to do or how to pursue a resolution?

Thank you.
