keepassxc as libsecret provider/daemon makes emacs hang/time out on dbus connection #3667
Description
Since switching to keepassxc as my libsecret daemon (as soon as the commit was pushed a few months ago), secrets in emacs have stopped working.
Expected Behavior
List passwords in the keepass password database (="Keyring") folder (="Keyring") that's marked as exposed to libsecret.
Current Behavior
Emacs times out with
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (dbus-error "call timed out")
signal(dbus-error ("call timed out"))
dbus-call-method(:session "org.freedesktop.secrets" "/org/freedesktop/secrets" "org.freedesktop.Secret.Service" "OpenSession" "plain" (:variant ""))
secrets-open-session()
secrets-get-items("/org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/keyring")
secrets-list-items("Keyring Login")
eval((secrets-list-items "Keyring") nil)
elisp--eval-last-sexp(nil)
eval-last-sexp(nil)
funcall-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil)
call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)
command-execute(eval-last-sexp)
Possible Solution
python-keyring stopped working as well, iirc because it assumed different keys in the exposed data?
Because that stopped working, I wrote my own minimal implementation : https://github.com/hrehfeld/python-keyring-minimal/blob/master/keyring
Steps to Reproduce
- create a db named Keyring, expose a folder via libsecret
emacs -Q- eval (C-x C-e):
(require 'secrets) - eval:
(secrets-list-items "Keyring")
