Can you upgrade to 2.20-4.f8 and test. We fixed a bunch of problems.
Also, if your ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default file is 0 bytes, do:
echo -n default > ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default

Comment 2 Edouard Bourguignon 2007-10-09 14:32:22 UTC
where can i find gnome-keyring-manager-2.20-4.f8? can't find it in koji
All my other gnome-keyring-* are already in 2.20-4

you mean  ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default or ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring?
I only have default.keyring and it's not empty

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2007-10-10 13:20:32 UTC
Alex meant gnome-keyring-2.20-4.f8

And ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default (without extension)

default.keyring is the actual keyring, default is a text file containing the
name of the default keyring.

Comment 4 Edouard Bourguignon 2007-10-10 16:51:37 UTC
gnome-keyring-2.20-4 was already installed and now after upgrade:

[madko@Alcyone ~]$ rpm -qa|grep keyring
gnome-keyring-2.20-5.fc8
gnome-keyring-manager-2.20.0-1.fc8
gnome-keyring-pam-2.20-5.fc8
[madko@Alcyone ~]$ ls .gnome2/keyrings/
default  default.keyring
[madko@Alcyone ~]$ cat .gnome2/keyrings/default
default[madko@Alcyone ~]$ 

The only change I can notice is the fact that the uncompletely drawn window
frozing my desktop and asking for keyring pass appears a second time when I kill it.


Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2007-10-11 13:22:48 UTC
Which version of glibc are you using ? 
The was a bug fix in glibc recently that solved some hang issues with the the
gnome-keyring dialog. 

Can you try again with the latest glibc, please ?

Comment 6 Alexander Larsson 2007-10-11 13:28:31 UTC
This is a dup of bug 321761, which is a glibc gettext locking bug.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 321761 ***

Comment 7 Edouard Bourguignon 2007-10-11 14:15:06 UTC
i'm using the glibc-2.6.90-17, i will try with glibc-2.6.90-18 asap

Comment 8 Edouard Bourguignon 2007-10-12 06:39:29 UTC
thanks, works great with glibc-2.6.90-18
