Solved 3.2 Stable: No pwds saved? (Mint 20 Cinnamon)

mungo

Hi,

I'm farely new to Vivaldi running 3.2.1967.41 on Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon 64-bit.

Any time I enter a password, I am asked, if I'd like to save.
In spite of accepting Vivaldi does not remember any, as I again experienced while logging into this forum.
After "saving" it does not find any saved pwds.

Any hint?

So, I finally found out about the keyring issue and solved it through this post.

Everything works just fine now.

@Gwen-Dragon Same issue here with opensuse and KDE. Kwalletmanager is open, but vivaldi seems to be unable to read or store passwords. Change in latest update was that I moved from kwallet's own encryption (I think bluefish) of the wallet to encryption with my GPG - key. Anything known in that area that may allow me to debug a bit?

rigo

@Gwen-Dragon so maybe specific to opensuse tumbleweed. I had huge difficulties after upgrade. Let me try a new wallet then.

@Gwen-Dragon No autologin NEVER EVER EVER. I'm not using win95 for a reason
Now with new wallet![alt text], still no passwords.

Do you see any error messages if you start Vivaldi in shell?

Yes.

$ vivaldi

And I have continually pwd-requests while starting Vivaldi, usually two, which can't be solved by the account-pwd nor by the root-pwd.

Oh, and there is no auto-login here.

sudo dpkg -l kwallet*

dpkg-query: Kein Paket gefunden, das auf kwallet* passt
[no such package found]

kwallet ist part of the KDE-desktop.
I run Cinnamon instead.

V-SS & V-S in my Arch KDE continue to interact fine with password storage & availability. Historically when things had occasionally gone pear-shaped, the only thing that worked for me was simply to give up on trying to fix it & just start again, ergo, close V, delete all files beginning with or containing Login Data in your profile's Default directory, relaunch V, login to some sites you need, once again accept the offer to save the passwords, close V, relaunch V ... now are your passwords still there? This used to work for me, on those occasions.

Oh, i just realised - more than a year ago i gave up fighting with kwallet & chose to disable it. Hence, if you still intend using Mint Cinnamon's keyring then my prior paragraph might be irrelevant for you.

@Steffie
I have just begun to check Vivaldi out and have my old browser ready for import (which worked fine).
So, I guess I first solve this and then go on.

@mungo I tested on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS and my GNOME keyring works with Vivaldi 3.2.
Package is: gnome-keyring 3.36.0-1ubuntu1

I have same.
Now, I only wonder, how comes I get two times the prompt and no pwd works.
The user I am working with has no su-rights.

Edit:
Working on su V saves the login.
Guess I have to grant the working account su-rights.

If the keyring has a password differing from your account's password you habe to enter the keyring's password.

I reckon this is the root-pwd.
Can I set the keyring pwd somehow?

Or might it more likely be a problem of missing rights (sudo) of the accout?

A regular account should never have root rights!

No, I considered adding to the group "sudo".

@Gwen-Dragon said in 3.2 Stable: No pwds saved? (Mint 20 Cinnamon):

Your Linux prompts with a popup to type a password to unlock keyring or what?
You need the current users's account password to unlock.

It prompts me - usually twice in a row - on unlocking the key-ring, with no effect with either pwd.

@Gwen-Dragon said in 3.2 Stable: No pwds saved? (Mint 20 Cinnamon):

If that does not work something on your Linux Mint is broken.

Yeah, I guess so.
I mean, it's not that old...^^

BTW, other programs run fine, like mint update, and that uses priviliges...

Find out about this and report back.

@mungo The link you shared is probably in German.
Is there a English version of the same. I am using Vivaldi Version 85.0.4183.123 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (64-bit) and continue to have this issue since I first installed the browser months ago.

Thanks.

@AKPrashant It seems likely that you have a similar issue than myself, which was a problem with seahorse.

In the German post it says, if there was a pwd-reset necessary (e.g. because you forgot the master-pwd ), you have to delete ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring.
This resets all keyrings, but beware: You loose all pwds an settings of the keyrings.
For me, this solved the issue.

Anyway, you should upgrade Vivaldi first, I guess.
