Dude, you want help and don't even properly say WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO KNOW. How shall I help like this?

I don't want to be hostile but this is right now not a proper question or request.

What have you tried / done already? What didn't work? Errors? ANYTHING?!

If you still want to use it, you will have to do four things:

create .keyring_unlock_password in your home directory in that file you put UNLOCK_PASSWORD="your_password" (including the quotes) set permissions so only yourself (and root) can read the file by running chmod 0600 ~/.keyring_unlock_password create an autostart entry in GNOME for /usr/bin/pamusb-keyring-unlock-gnome

It does not take effect after operation I guess there's something wrong with the last step, but I don't know what to do.

"It does not take effect after operation" still doesn't tell me the slightest bit about your issue.

Since you mentioned "last step" previously I assume you have created an autostart entry like described here https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/shell-apps-auto-start.html.en for /usr/bin/pamusb-keyring-unlock-gnome and nonetheless it doesn't work?

Let's go through a checklist to proceed. You did...

[ ] configured a device for your user and can successfully authenticate with that [ ] use GNOME [ ] create ~/.keyring_unlock_password AND it does contain the correct password to unlock your default keyring (by default that's usually your login password, at least on Ubuntu) [ ] set the permissions on that file like mentioned [ ] created an autostart entry like described in the GNOME docs (see https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/shell-apps-auto-start.html.en)

... and nonetheless it doesn't work for you?

In that case: please run the command manually and paste the output here.

Also check the system logs, I'm not sure which log exactly it uses right now but it does for sure log infos. Check syslog and auth.log - one of them should have something.

You can see which log entries to expect at https://github.com/mcdope/pam_usb/blob/master/tools/pamusb-keyring-unlock-gnome. Every logger call should appear in some of your logs (if it happened :stuck_out_tongue: )

Glad to hear that. But what was the actual problem now? :D

Just for the records in case some other user has the same or a similar issue...

I don't know what's supposed to be in pamusb-keyring-unlock-gnome

It solved my problem https://github.com/mcdope/pam_usb/blob/master/tools/pamusb-keyring-unlock-gnome

Ooookaay.... So most likely an incomplete installation or like that.

Closing this since solved.
