Could you please post the output of:

dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames | grep secrets

Could you retry with the 3.71 pre-release version and see if the situation improves?

foncused commented 7 months ago

No luck with protonmail-bridge-bin 3.7.1-1, I get the same output.

LBeernaertProton commented 7 months ago

Is it possible the key ring is still locked? :thinking:

foncused commented 7 months ago

I managed to resolve this by looking over the Gnome/Keyring Arch wiki and running the following (meant for e.g. ~/.xinitrc): dbus-update-activation-environment --all

This is because I use i3. With i3, this is better placed in ~/.config/i3/config: exec dbus-update-activation-environment --all

Then when running protonmail-bridge I was prompted to enter a default keychain credential and now Proton Mail Bridge opens as expected.

Thank you for your help.

fmalina commented 6 months ago

I am having the same issue and same error message and I don't use i3 and dbus-update-activation-environment --all does not resolve this for me.

$ dbus-send...
    string "org.freedesktop.secrets"
foncused commented 6 months ago

@fmalina Are you using another window manager environment? I only ask because my solution is not technically i3 specific. If you are, and you can execute commands from its startup configuration:

If you are using sway, i3, or any window manager that does not execute

/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-*.desktop
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh
your window manager needs to execute the following commands during window manager startup. The commands do not need to be executed in any specific order.

dbus-update-activation-environment DISPLAY XAUTHORITY WAYLAND_DISPLAY
or

dbus-update-activation-environment --all
fmalina commented 6 months ago

I don’t use a window manager on this box at all, just a terminal. I used to use the bridge for sending password reset and signup welcome emails to my users, now I changed unlimited plan to business and I'll try SMTP instead

I'm on arch linux using KDE with protonmail bridge 3.8.2.

Here's the output after trying dbus-update-activation-environment --all:
