gnome-keyring-daemon failing of sshfs

[Charlie Ott]

Use whatever local installation you want, e.g. an ubuntu live cd

killall gnome-keyring-daemon
cd ~/.gnome2
mv keyrings keyrings.old
mkdir keyrings keyrings.new
chmod 700 keyrings keyrings.new

sshfs localhost:/home/username/.gnome2/keyrings.new keyrings
gnome-keyring-daemon -s -f

With those commands, you're running gnome-keyring-daemon using sshfs for keyrings

This causes the gnome-keyring-daemon to hang, while simultaneously creating thousands of *temp* files in ~/.local/share/keyrings

Since this is an upstream issue with gnome. I have created a report here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730587
