Bug ID: 1413338 Summary: xmonad session doesn't support GNOME keyring Product: Fedora Version: 25 Component: xmonad Assignee: mathstuf@gmail.com Reporter: simon.guest@tesujimath.org QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: haskell-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, mathstuf@gmail.com, petersen@redhat.com
Description of problem:
No support for GNOME keyring, which would need to be in xmonad-start script.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.12-2.fc25
How reproducible:
Login using the xmonad session from xmonad-basic package. Observe that e.g. ssh keys are not cached.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login with xmonad session from gdm 2. ssh <somewhere>
Actual results:
have to type ssh passphrase, aarggh! :-)
Expected results:
ssh passphrase is available in GNOME keyring via the GNOME keyring daemon
Additional info:
I currently have to use a user script (i.e. ~/.xsession) to do this, rather than the xmonad session from xmonad-basic package. It would be better if /usr/bin/xmonad-start contained the following lines (given that Fedora is a GNOME-based distro, so GNOME based solutions such as keyring are preferable to e.g. pam_ssh (which is a bit troublesome, actually)):
# for GNOME keyring, see https://blog.san-ss.com.ar/2011/03/using-gnome-keyring-in-xmonad eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start) export GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET export GNOME_KEYRING_PID

--- Comment #1 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Thanks for the suggest.
Do you want to propose a patch? It should probably be conditional on the presence of gnome-keying.

--- Comment #2 from Simon Guest simon.guest@tesujimath.org --- Created attachment 1241087 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1241087&action=edit xmonad-start script which starts GNOME keyring
Here's a copy of the xmonad-start script from the RPM, amended to start GNOME keyring conditionally if it exists.
Because the script is not from upstream, but is part of the Fedora packaging, no patch is required, simply replace the xmonad-start script from the source RPM with this one.
$ diff safe/xmonad-start /usr/bin/xmonad-start 37a38,43
if [ -x /bin/gnome-keyring-daemon ]; then eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start) export GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET export GNOME_KEYRING_PID fi

--- Comment #5 from David Gibson dgibson@redhat.com --- Unfortunately this fix makes things much worse if you're not using gnome-keyring (e.g. using the openssh ssh-agent, because gnome-keyring *still* doesn't support non-RSA keys).
It starts gnome-keyring - and more importantly, points SSH_AUTH_SOCK at it, even if you attempt to disable gnome-keyring's ssh agent component in the configuration.

--- Comment #6 from Fedora End Of Life jkurik@fedoraproject.org --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

--- Comment #7 from Fedora End Of Life jkurik@fedoraproject.org --- Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
