Description louisgtwo 2026-08-16 18:22:32 UTC
My fedora setup has the /home partition encrypted and my user auto-login to GNOME. gnome-keyring has same password as luks home partition so when booting I enter my luks password and when GNOME desktop appears the keyring is also unlocked. This does not happen anymore due to recent 44 updates.

Reproducible: Always

I have the same issue. In logs only suspicious thing I see is "App gnome-keyring-secrets.desktop sets X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase, but gnome-session no longer manages session services".
Let me know if I can help with something.
Here is fedora discussion link for the issue: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/autologin-does-not-automatically-unlock-gnome-keyring-anymore/199318

I can confirm gdm-1.50.1-1.fc44 is the cause. I downgraded to gdm-50.0-1.fc44 and keyring unlocks at login.

Comment 4 louisgtwo 2026-08-21 15:37:34 UTC
I have opened a gdm bug report for this issue. Bug 2521030

Comment 5 louisgtwo 2026-08-21 16:53:48 UTC
This is an upstream gdm bug not gnome-keyring. Closing.

Comment 6 louisgtwo 2026-08-21 17:19:15 UTC
Correction: I can confirm gdm-50.2-1.fc44 is the cause. I downgraded to gdm-50.1-1.fc44 and keyring unlocks at login.
