Polly problem on Mint 12 (Lisa)

[Mela Eckenfels]

Hello,

I changed operation systems from Ubuntu to Mint. For the first one or two days Polly worked fine. Then it dropped my accounts and after trying to reauthorisize with Twitter, I got the following output (Started polly from console for debugging purposes):

Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: Method "CreateCollection" with signature "a{sv}s" on interface "org.freedesktop.Secret.Service" doesn't exist

Exception in thread Thread-4:

Any ideas?

The error indicates that GNOME-Keyring is not running properly or not running at all. This is not something that Polly can work around by itself.

I suggest contacting the Mint support to see if they know something about common GNOME-Keyring issues.
