Description of problem: Historically I've been able to copy .gnome2/keyrings/* to my home directory and after running Seahorse the stored passwords would be available. After upgrading to F19+Mate, this no longer works. Seahorse simply shows an empty login keyring and an empty keyring with a blank name. I tried deleting both of these and creating a new keyring but I can't add any keys to it since it never shows up in the 'Add Password' dialog box. I only use the keyring for stored passwords(unless something else uses it silently). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-keyring.x86_64 3.8.2-1.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever gnome-keyring-sharp.x86_64 1.0.1-0.12.133722svn.fc19 @fedora gnome-python2-gnomekeyring.x86_64 2.32.0-14.fc19 @fedora libgnome-keyring.x86_64 3.8.0-1.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever libmatekeyring.x86_64 1.6.0-1.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever mate-keyring.i686 1.6.0-2.fc19 @fedora mate-keyring.x86_64 1.6.0-2.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever mate-keyring-pam.x86_64 1.6.0-2.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever seahorse.x86_64 3.8.2-1.fc19 @fedora Both gnome-keyring-daemon and mate-keyring-daemon are running. mate-screensaver has a dependency on mate-keyring so I can't remove it. I also see these every so often in the logfiles: Sep 30 08:28:07 localhost gnome-keyring-daemon[1495]: couldn't register in session: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files Sep 30 08:28:07 localhost gnome-keyring-daemon[1495]: another secret service is running
So killing the mate-keyring-daemon process, deleting the keyring and making a new keyring seems to work. Overwriting the file in .local/share/keyrings with my old file, restarting Seahorse and entering my old login password unlocked the keyring. It seems to understand it is a login keyring, but it isn't using my current login password.
~/.local/share/keyrings is the new location for keyrings, in compliance with the XDG Basedir spec. However, if ~/.gnome2/keyrings exists then it is used instead as a compatibility measure. I hope that clears things up.
