gnomekeyring.IOError

when trying to start gwibber. There seems to be an issue with desktopcouch causing gnomekeyring IO errors.

Thanks for taking time to report this bug. Can you please tell which version of gwibber are you using, which Linux distro?

I am getting the same error. Using kubuntu 10.04 beta on KDE4.

gnomekeyring.IOError

[Mehul J. Rajput (mehulrajput)]

seems this happens if gnome-keyring-daemon is not started.

Solution was found here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1446216

Maybe this issue is same as bug 534649, @dolphinaura is this workaround works for you or are still facing this problem? Thanks

[CatchesAStar (catchesastar)]

Duplicate of 534649 it seems. starting gnome-keyring-daemon seems to fix it.

[tamalet (tamalet)]

I read somewhere on the forums that a way to avoid having to start the gnome-keyring-daemon every time you log in is to change in System->Preferences->Startup Application the command for Secret Store Service from
gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets
to just
gnome-keyring-daemon

It worked for me.
