Description Adam Williamson 2010-01-26 00:36:49 UTC
On current Rawhide, things keep prompting me for passwords; Evolution asks for Google calendar password every time it accesses it, even though the 'remember password' box is checked, and I'm prompted for my wireless key every time I connect to the network.

I did some diagnosis with Dan Williams, and he provided a test program which just does NetworkManager's key addition cycle and dumps debug info. From the output I provided, he says:

<dcbw> the error when adding is GNOME_KEYRING_RESULT_BAD_ARGUMENTS
<dcbw> using likely the exact same code we always have
<dcbw> could be that we're using it wrongly, but I doubt it

It seems that previously-stored passwords are still working okay, but no new ones can be written.

I have been testing with the brand new libgnome-keyring and gnome-keyring from Koji, versions 2.29.4-2.fc13 and 2.29.5-2.fc13 respectively.

Dan will attach his test code.

Testcase

Build testcase with:

gcc -o gktest -Wall `pkg-config --libs --cflags glib-2.0 gnome-keyring-1 uuid` gktest.c

Expected output is:

[dcbw@localhost krtest]$ ./gktest 
** Message: 
** Message: Add: item id 36 UUID 94489de8-80cc-4281-ada8-c18b6eee74d3 name 'Network secret for gk-test/wifi/psk'
** Message: 
** Message: Find: listing found keys
** Message:     Item 36: 'thesecret' (keyring: 'login')
** Message:       str: connection-uuid = 94489de8-80cc-4281-ada8-c18b6eee74d3
** Message:       str: setting-name = wifi
** Message:       str: setting-key = psk
** Message: 
** Message: Delete: removed item 36
** Message: 
[dcbw@localhost krtest]$ 

with possibly a different UUID and item ID.

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2010-01-26 00:43:16 UTC
Testcase currently fails with:

[adamw@adam Download]$ ./gktest
** Message:
** Message: Add: failed to add item: 5
** Message:
** Message: Find: find result was 9
** Message:
** Message: Delete: find result was 9
** Message: 

where of course error '5' is GNOME_KEYRING_RESULT_BAD_ARGUMENTS.  The testcase works as expected on F11 and F12, but not rawhide.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2010-01-26 07:55:17 UTC
oh, I should point out that previous gnome-keyrings were broken the same way - I'm not suggesting it's a regression in the -2 builds, just that the changes between -1 and -2 don't fix it.

Yep, it was just a sync with git.

Some notes for myself:

method call sender=:1.183 -> dest=org.freedesktop.secrets serial=6 path=/org/freedesktop/secrets/aliases/default; interface=org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection; member=CreateItem

error sender=:1.179 -> dest=:1.183 error_name=org.freedesktop.Secret.Error.NoSuchObject reply_serial=6
   string "The '/org/freedesktop/secrets/aliases/default' object does not exist"

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2010-01-27 17:14:09 UTC
With the latest Rawhide it seems even worse: gnome-keyring doesn't seem to be providing even existing passwords to other apps. Evo asked me for my mailserver password, terminals keep asking me for my ssh passphrase. gnome-keyring-daemon is running...

Comment 7 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-01-28 17:52:13 UTC
Filed upstream with more findings: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608357

That's probably a startup issue, there are three autorun files now:
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-secrets.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop

If you run `/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon -f`, does it work? No problems here with Evo and ssh.

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2010-01-28 19:36:10 UTC
"That's probably a startup issue, there are three autorun files now:
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-secrets.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop"

all three are enabled for my user, according to gnome-session-properties .

"If you run `/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon -f`, does it work? No problems here
with Evo and ssh."

I'll check after my next reboot (just did today's Rawhide update).

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2010-01-28 20:39:09 UTC
OK, existing secrets seem to be working after a reboot - almost too well, in fact; the first time I try to ssh out it succeeded without even asking me for the passphrase once! is this normal? I've forgotten how it's supposed to behave, now...

If you previously saved the password to keyring, then yes, it automatically unlocks the key on first use.

Comment 11 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-02-08 14:15:53 UTC
I've built gnome-keyring-2.29.5-4.fc13 which should hopefully fix the issue, please test.

Comment 12 Tom "spot" Callaway 2010-02-08 15:56:30 UTC
Test cases still fail with gnome-keyring-2.29.5-4.fc13.x86_64:

Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2010-02-08 23:52:08 UTC
Yeah, doesn't seem to help in 'real use' either; I've installed the update and have rebooted for an unrelated reason several times since, and it still prompts for wireless password every boot.

Comment 14 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-02-09 11:04:54 UTC
Okay, I've built gnome-keyring-2.29.90-1.fc13 now but don't see any difference since gnome-keyring-2.29.5-4.fc13. The only thing running in my Gnome session is `/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login`.

Both tests mentioned above create a record in keyring but fails to set the password (or perhaps there's a problem retrieving it). That's another issue...

** Message: Add: item id 30 UUID 93f404cd-3a57-4e22-b353-9b6b64a3f878 name 'Network secret for gk-test/wifi/psk'

Comment 15 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-02-16 16:00:32 UTC
Another try: gnome-keyring-2.29.90-2.fc13
So far both tests succeed here.

Comment 16 Adam Williamson 2010-02-16 17:27:53 UTC
Nope. No good here. Tried rebooting and recreating the wireless connection several times, it never stored the passphrase.

Hmm, FWIW, I'm seeing a problem that is best explained by this "fix"

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-disk-utility/commit/?id=35b950b470239ed6ab2d31b7ab0c7ed3da68ee57

with libgnome-keyring-2.29.4-3.fc13.x86_64. The problem is that GNOME_KEYRING_RESULT_OK is returned when no password is actually returned. Might be related.

Comment 18 Tom "spot" Callaway 2010-02-16 17:56:53 UTC
Same errors on both of the tests on my end. :(

That's https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608510#c7, backported to libgnome-keyring-2.29.4-4.fc13

Comment 20 Tom "spot" Callaway 2010-02-17 15:46:57 UTC
libgnome-keyring-2.29.4-4.fc13 also fails both test cases in the same way as previous builds.

Comment 21 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-02-17 15:51:59 UTC
There's a known issue at the moment - keyrings are not created automatically so if you're testing with a new account, passwords won't get saved. I've created upstream bugreport https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610270

Let me know if that's your case, I've been able to store document password from Evince into my existing keyring, though not from gvfs (looking at that now).

Comment 22 Adam Williamson 2010-02-17 19:13:24 UTC
I'm using an existing account which has several secrets saved already.

Comment 23 Adam Williamson 2010-03-02 07:33:12 UTC
on further consideration of the criteria, this is strictly a final blocker, not beta blocker.

Comment 24 Adam Williamson 2010-03-04 22:55:04 UTC
I see some changes landed in response to your upstream report; any chance we could get a build with those to test?

Comment 25 Tom "spot" Callaway 2010-03-09 21:02:14 UTC
A git checkout from today no longer has this problem...

Comment 26 Fedora Update System 2010-03-10 13:21:12 UTC
gnome-keyring-2.29.92-1.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13.

> A git checkout from today no longer has this problem...    
Cool, thanks for testing, so it really looks to be related to new keyring creation when there weren't any.

A libgnome-keyring update is pending, stay tuned.

Comment 28 Fedora Update System 2010-03-11 13:30:11 UTC
gnome-keyring-2.29.92-1.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 29 Adam Williamson 2010-03-11 16:27:04 UTC
yup, it looks good with 2.29.92-1 for me. Doesn't seem to need any libgnome-keyring changes. It's remembering my wireless password now :) Thanks Tomáš!

I guess we can close this now? Any reason to keep it open?

Comment 30 Fedora Update System 2010-03-17 15:23:07 UTC
libgnome-keyring-2.29.92-git20100317.1.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13.
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libgnome-keyring-2.29.92-git20100317.1.fc13

Comment 31 Adam Williamson 2010-03-17 19:52:38 UTC
the fixed version went into stable, and it's been behaving for me for a week - I think we can close this.
