qtkeychain 0.8 fails to use kwallet5

[Ablinne]

I am running arch linux and plasma 5 and installed the update to version 0.8 of qtkeychain today. After this update the owncloud-client presents me with the message

** Message: Remote error from secret service: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files

And asks me for my passwords, even though my passwords are safely stored in my kwallet (which is up and running and in use by other applications).

Seems qtkeychain is trying to use gnome-keyring or whatever.

Environment variables are set correctly

albn@alexhij$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
KDE
albn@alexhij$ echo $KDE_SESSION_VERSION
5

After downgrading qtkeychain to 0.7 owncloud works fine again.

Confirmed, if qtkeychain is compiled with libsecret support and there is no libsecret service provider installed, kwalled is not used. Compiling without libsecret support fixes the problem.

@Ablinne which KDE setup (distro etc.) are you using? @akallabeth I wonder if we can have a runtime check with kwalletd as fallback?

[akallabeth]

@frankosterfeld Depends on how to detect libsecret is not used during runtime. (must be installed and available, otherwise it would not be tried). Easiest option would be to add a configuration option to override autodetection in detectKeyringBackend

@frankosterfeld I am using Arch linux with plasma-desktop from the Extra repository. libsecret is installed as a dependency of the packages darktable-git evince pinentry webkit2gtk webkitgtk2, so I can not easily uninstall it. On the other hand neither gnome-keyring nor any other provider of org.freedesktop.secrets are installed. Maybe if no org.freedesktop.secrets-provider is found, qtkeychain can just skip libsecret and continue with other options?

Any updates on this? I am getting the same error when starting mysql-workbench: (ArchLinux, KDE5, Plasma 5.10.2)

$ mysql-workbench

Workbench can't find libproj.so, some options may be unavailable.
Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files

@thePanz On Arch linux, the package update qtkeychain 0.8.0-2 fixed it for me. It is compiled without libsecret support. See changes to PKGBUILD here: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/qtkeychain&id=9508b3f0487ec832875ab983e317fc4f8a7bfbaf.

@Ablinne I installed such package, but did not helped. I guess because of libsecret being already installed?

@thePanz, judging from the dependencies of mysql-workbench, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/mysql-workbench/, it does not even use qtkeychain. So your error message is probably not related to this bug report.

[ckamm]

This problem was probably addressed by https://github.com/frankosterfeld/qtkeychain/pull/111 - now kwallet5 is preferred even when libsecret support is enabled.

[hefee]

for me the issue is solved with relesed v0.9.0
