Description Chris Murphy 2018-09-12 00:16:42 UTC
Description of problem:

The modal dialog presented when I ssh into a server with a key, says nothing at all about what is asking for my passphrase or why.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-keyring-3.28.2-2.fc29.x86_64
libgnome-keyring-3.12.0-15.fc29.x86_64
gnome-keyring-pam-3.28.2-2.fc29.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

This is a regression from Fedora 28


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fedora 28 Server has ssh configured to only authenticate with keys
2. From Fedora 28 Workstation, ssh chris
3.

Actual results:

Modal dialog asking for password, but doesn't tell me what's asking or authentication of the purpose. See screenshot.

Expected results:

I should see something functionally similar to that on Fedora 28 Workstation, in the same situation. Also attached.

On Fedora 28 it's these versions:
gnome-keyring-pam-3.28.2-1.fc28.x86_64
libgnome-keyring-3.12.0-14.fc28.x86_64
gnome-keyring-3.28.2-1.fc28.x86_64

Comment 4 Chris Murphy 2018-09-12 01:03:39 UTC
Changing this to gnome-shell, I'm told the modal dialog is actually shell, not the keyring.

I'm using gnome-shell-3.30.0-1.fc29.x86_64.

I'm pretty sure the F28 shell is gnome-shell-3.28.3-1.fc28 (guessing from koji, the F28 I have is fully up to date).

Comment 5 Adam Williamson (Red Hat non-Fedora) 2018-09-14 21:12:06 UTC
Per upstream report, this is apparently a gjs issue...

I'm on gjs-1.54.0-3.fc29.x86_64 .

...nope, we're back to Shell. Let's play bug pong!

Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2019-10-31 20:42:21 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '29'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 8 Adam Williamson (Red Hat non-Fedora) 2019-11-04 19:12:46 UTC
The upstream issue was closed some time back, I do not recall whether we applied the fix to F29, though.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2019-11-27 18:14:39 UTC
Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
