This morning I had this problem again and I will explain the problem more …
During my Gnome-session gnome-keyring dies (in the background) without any error messages (/var/log/syslog, ~/.xsession-errors).
As you can see in the following command output, there are multiple keyring-folders in /tmp.
#> ll /tmp/
drwx------ 2 $user $user 4,0K Feb 20 16:50 keyring-92x5pQ/
drwx------ 2 $user $user 4,0K Feb 20 13:18 keyring-B1KV8T/
drwx------ 2 $user $user 4,0K Feb 20 16:46 keyring-lIhMpd/
drwx------ 2 $user $user 4,0K Feb 21 10:18 keyring-ZciiCm/
It seems there are some similarities with Bug #383926 [0]. I think there could be a temporarily workaround if I would know the equivalent for „$SSH_AUTH_SOCK“.
I can use the new keyring-folder in (i.e.) Chromium after a automatic re-auth. (In Chromium the keyring-auth pops up and I can enter my password to get access to the new keyring instance.)
In Thunderbird/Enigmail that doesn't work! There is no re-auth dialog after the keyring-restart (in the background) and I only get a pop-up with the message, that I used a wrong password for encryption (of my email). :-/
For me only a logout→login solves the problem (with Thunderbird/Enigmail). – Or a reboot …
I don't think that the silent deaths of gnome-keyring in the background are ‚normal‘, so I posted this bug-report.
Thanks a lot for taking attention and best regards!
