Adding information posted to opensuse-xfce list on this topic:
Initial post:
Hi,
Just switched to Xfce recently and have run across a couple of things that appear to be start up service related when compared to GNOME.
First, when building a package locally using osc, I end up with an "401 Authentication" error. Pocking around a bit this appears to be gnome-keyring related. However, I have gnome-keyring-
Second, also authentication related, I now need to enter my passphrase when using key-authenticated ssh login. I suppose GNOME by default starts an ssh agent thus that the passphrase only gets entered once? How do I accomplish this with Xfce. The "autostratup" has an entry for "SSH Key Agent". What am I missing?
Follow up post:
When I turn on "Launch GNOME services on startup" in the "Advanced" tab of the "Session and Startup" settings I can get the behavior back I am used to in GNOME, i.e. when I ssh to a machine for the first time I get a dialog box that lets me type in my passphrase. Once I do this the key is "unlocked" and I can log into any machine without needing to enter my passphrase again.
However, enabeling this also means that I am running more stuff than I probably want.
I compared the list of processes running with the GNOME services launced and without and compared them. However, nothing sticks out as providing this nice "unlock the key" feature. Thus I am not certain how to enable just that service to allow me to disable the "Launch GNOME services on startup" setting again.
Guido's response:
you shouldn't use that setting, g-k-d is started through the PAM
module so that no additional password needs to be entered to
unlock it. It also needs to be initialized from the session and I
suspect something isn't working right there (either the xdg
autostart or session startup script) but I haven't had the time
to investigate it yet. Feel free to open a bug to track this,
it'll be needed anyway for a SRU.
Karl's response:
Traditionally, I have in my .xinitrc:
eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/identity ~/.ssh/id_rsa &
which is ugly, and probably no longer needed, but "works".

#14 |
The current situation is a bit complicated, having gnome-keyring automatically unlocked on login involves a startup process in two steps, first it must be started and unlocked via the PAM module on login and after that the desired components (e.g. gpg-/shh-agent functionality) need to be initialized again and certain environment variables need to be set for the session. Details are at http://
The main problem with the current Xfce desktop is that these environment variables are not properly set if GNOME-compatibility mode is disabled.
Because the components of gnome-keyring are initialized from desktop files in /etc/xdg/autostart the environment variables printed to stdout are simply lost. When using GNOME, gnome-keyring passes the environment variables via DBus to gnome-session, Xfce however doesn't implement that DBus interface and the only way to get these environment variables is enabling the GNOME-compatibility mode in xfce4-session which will run gnome-keyring --start again, capture its output and set the environment variables accordingly. This has two unwanted side-effects, gnome-keyring --start seems to enable all of gnome-keyring's components making it impossible to selectively disable components by modifying the corresponding autostart files and of course xfce4-session's GNOME-compatibility mode will also start everything in /etc/xdg/autostart which is marked OnlyShowIn=GNOME.
A separate but related problem affects the usage of plain GPG/SSH-agents without gnome-keyring. gpg-agent which can also provides ssh-agent functionality is started twice by default, first in /etc/X11/

OK, trying to find a different way to make this work.
So if I would start gnome-keyring-
GNOME_KEYRING_
GNOME_KEYRING_PID
in the environment is this sufficient to get things moving or is the login shell too late?

Yes, that's too late, it will only affect the current shell. This would have to go into the session wrapper, but rather than such a hack the real solution would be to move the gnome-keyring support out of the GNOME compatibility mode of xfce4-session and make it a separate option. That's something I need to bring up with upstream but haven't gotten round to yet.
Unfortunately even that would not provide the ability to selectively enable/disable gnome-keyring components through autostart files because xfce4-session does not support early autostart files and modification of the session environment through DBus.

#17 |
Well, one would think there must be some kind of work-around that lets me run gnome-keyring such that it is actually useful.
The background here is that it really bothers me to have my password in plain text format stored in .oscrc and apparently the keyring is the solution to this.
So I tried:
eval `/usr/bin/
in my .xinitrc file. But the result was not pleasant. By the time the desktop was up and operational I had 3 gnome-keyring-
The second undesirable side effect was that the nm_applet was running but it was not showing up in the panel and I was unable to connect to a network.
The environment didn't appear to be completely setup either, the GPG and KEYRING environment variables were set but the SSH environment was not set.
I'd like to find some way, however hacky it may be to get the keyring stuff running. This at least would keep me going until a better solution is available from Xfce upstream.
Of course if there is yet another way to beat the osc authorization trap without running the keyring I am open to use that as well.
|
|
#18 |
OK, have "working" but would like some input/review of my work-around.
Starting the keyring daemon in .xinitrc somehow causes trouble for the nm_applet, as mentioned in the previous comment. Thus I decided to try the login shell, i.e. .login file for tcsh (which I run).
In .login I know have the following:
set gkeyd=/
set gkeydArgs="--start"
set gkeydInfo=
set countFile=
if ( -r $gkeydInfo ) source $gkeydInfo
if ( $?GNOME_KEYRING_PID ) then
set this=`ps -elf | grep ${GNOME_
# start the daemon if it is not running
if (( $? != 0 ) && ( -x "gkeyd" )) then
$gkeyd $gkeydArgs | awk -F = '{print "setenv " $1 " " $2}' > $gkeydInfo
echo "1" > $countFile
source $gkeyInfo
else
set count=`cat ${countFile}`
echo "$count + 1" | bc > $countFile
endif
else
$gkeyd $gkeydArgs | awk -F = '{print "setenv " $1 " " $2}' > $gkeydInfo
echo "setenv GNOME_KEYRING_
echo "setenv GNOME_KEYRING_INFO ${gkeydInfo}" >> $gkeydInfo
echo "1" > $countFile
source $gkeydInfo
endif
After I restart everything is working, ssh-agent, which I start separately in .xinitrc as follows:
eval `/usr/bin/ssh-agent -s`
SSH_ASKPASS=
if test -S "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" -a -x "$SSH_ASKPASS"; then
ssh-add < /dev/null
fi
And the keyring is running. Better yet running an osc command it actually appears to use the keyring and I no longer get stupid "auth" errors.
Now the problem. Although everything is running there was no ~/.gnome2/
Other comments/thoughts on this solution?
I will test this for a while and if things work I'll write a blog on Lizards.
|
|
#19 |
Argh, and one more thing. Is there any reason I should kill the keyring daemon on logout?
|
|
#20 |
I would suggest the following workaround for now:
1. Open the Session settings:
Settings -> Preferences -> Settings Manager -> Session and Startup
2. Enable GNOME compatibility mode:
Go to Advanced, check "Launch GNOME services on startup"
3. Disable unwanted GNOME-only autostart files:
Execute the following one-liner on the shell:
for gnome_autostart in $(awk '/^OnlyShowIn=/ && /GNOME;/ && !/XFCE;/ { print FILENAME }' /etc/xdg/
I'll talk to upstream later and see if we can move gnome-keyring support out of GNOME compatibility mode.
|
|
#21 |
There's a typo, the one liner should read:
for gnome_autostart in $(awk '/^OnlyShowIn=/ && /GNOME;/ && !/XFCE;/ { print
FILENAME }' /etc/xdg/
>${HOME}
|

#22 |
Thanks.
Still having issues with osc, but these appear to be osc problems now as the environment is certainly set.
ssh key management now works the same as it did when I was using GNOME.

After discussing this with upstream (see http://

#24 |
I've just added a patch to the upstream bug which implements a part of the discussed GNOME compatibility modernization and also addresses this bug.
Basically it removes obsolete parts of GNOME compatibility mode such as GNOME SMProxy compatibility and GConf shutdown. Furthermore it implements the discussed changes in how autostart files are treated, GNOME- or KDE-only files are now treated the same way as inactive files, they will not be unconditionally started in GNOME-/
This way GNOME compat mode can be safely enabled to start gnome-keyring while potentially unwanted and harmful services such as gnome-settings-
xfce4-session packages which contain a backport of this patch are available for testing from home:gberh:

In my opinion, for Ubuntu-based distributions the root cause of the bug is in lightdm package. At least, in quantal it becomes default display manager for all desktops including non-GNOME ones.
In files:
* /etc/pam.d/lightdm
* /etc/pam.
it has the following line:
session optional pam_gnome_
The line starts gnome-keyring daemon for all desktops, while only few of them can properly set up gnome-keyring right now.
Probably only_if argument should be used, so keyring daemon will start only for supported environment.
One possible workaround is to switch from lightdm to DE speciffic display manager which don't start gnome-kering
at all.

@Julián the only problem is that gnome-keyring won't actually work (see comment #27), but if you don't use it, and none of the apps you use rely on it, then that won't affect you.

It's 2014, this bug is already 2 years old, and hasn't been fixed yet,
at least on Xubuntu 12.04. Fixing it seems trivial.
Possible solutions:
1. If the package gnome-keyring is not needed on Xubuntu (or other
affected Ubuntu flavors), it should be considered to be removed from
it as a default package so that other applications don't try to
connect to it.
2. If the package gnome-keyring is required, it should be fixed so that
it runs properly on all the Ubuntu flavors that use it. The problem
seems to be in /etc/xdg/
is only enabled for Gnome and Unity.
2.1. Fix the line OnlyShowIn=
2.1.1. by appending XFCE;KDE;LXDE; and any other DE that may
need or use pkcs11.
2.1.2. by deleting or commenting out that line so that all DEs
may use it (if anything, add a NotShowIn=... blacklist
for DEs in which this may cause problems).
2.2. Make XFCE include an identical .desktop file with
from other DEs.
2.3. Make XFCE load all Gnome services at startup by default (which
may also include some unwanted stuff and thus may not be a good
idea).
3. If the package gnome-keyring is required due to dependencies, but
the service pkcs11 is not needed for it and other applications to
run properly, the warning message it displays should be removed.
3.1. Making gnome-keyring not display that warning.
3.2. Making gnome-keyring inform applications that the service
pkcs11 is unavailable.
3.3. Making all applications that use gnome-keyring check whether
the service pkcs11 is available before requesting it (which
would imply fixing them one by one, which may be a bad idea).

The solutions here did not work in my case, but a solution which did work for me can be found in
https:/
which says:
The file causing the problem is /etc/xdg/
OnlyShowIn=
should be changed to
OnlyShowIn=
There are similar statements above, but none include XFCE.

.... now I've made the comment I see the solution is to be found in this page ... sorry.
When logging into a GNOME session gnome-keyring management is setup in such a way that both ssh key management is enabled and the osc commands find and access gnome-keyring.
The keyring needs to be unlocked only once per session, after that osc commands can access the key and it is not necessary to store account credentials in $HOME/.oscrc
The work around is to enable "Launch GNOME services on startup" in the "Advanced" tab of the "Session and Startup". However, this results in too many services running.
