KeyRingError in Feeds: Keyring not available

[onox]

I have an Arch system with Compiz fusion, installed avant and then the applets. Then I tried the Feeds Applet and started with the google reader, when I put in the username and password and pressed yes the app crashed. I started avant-window-navigator in xterm and got this message:

Please ask for more information since I don't know what to include.

I couldn't reproduce this on Arch. Do you use Gnome or another desktop environment? Gnome keyring or another password manager? Do you autologin to your session without entering a password?

@Gabor Karsay: I use Compiz Fusion. I don't autologin, but also, I don't get the question if i want to login to a keyring as I did with Ubuntu.

[Gabor Karsay (gabor-karsay)]

This is a bug in Feeds applet because it should handle this more gracefully, it depends on Gnome keyring in this case.

As to your problem: It seems like you don't have Gnome keyring installed or the daemon isn't started. I still don't know is this Compiz Fusion a standalone desktop environment without Gnome? Gnome usually handles this.

I would say make sure gnome-keyring is installed (pacman -Sy gnome-keyring -- right?) and maybe seahorse, too. The daemon is usually started by gdm, Gnome's login manager. If you're using another login manager you might have to do something about it. If you start seahorse, there should be at least one keyring present. I guess I can't help you more than that, maybe ask in an Arch forum how to make sure gnome-keyring daemon starts at login.
