Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
** Information type changed from Private Security to Public ** Attachment removed: "Apport bug report file of keyring failure" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1372144/+attachment/4210690/+files/_usr_bin_gnome-keyring-daemon.0.crash -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372144 Title: Keyring fail - login broken - lost user data Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am unable to login to my system after keyring crash. Can login as root. But unable to mount user partition as root. User data lost. Background: Changed passwds yesterday: added new and removed old password for full-disk encrypted volume (LVM). Also ran software updates. Today: Boot up: SUCCESS Enter password for encrypted disk: SUCCESS Enter user password at Xubuntu login: FAIL Error: User login would simply not accept user password. The screen would refresh and present a blank user passwd login again. The system gave no message. Workaround: Logged in as root. Attempt to resolve problem: FAIL. Error Report: Apport reported Keyring malfunction on root startup (N.B. Apport report attached) Workaround steps: Changed passwd on primary user account (user1) using command line: SUCCESS Login as user1 in GUI with new passwd: FAIL Change password in Users app in GIU (via settings): FAIL - the user settings dialogue would simply hang on opening, with its progress wheel turning. Refused to close. Forced to kill. Login as user1 from root command line: FAIL - Error message: "Signature not found in user keyring, perhaps try interactive 'ecrypts-mount-private'. Run ecryptfs-mount-private to access user1 data: FAIL - Error: "Encrypted directory is not setup properly" Remove passwd from user1 account: SUCCESS Login to user1 from GUI: FAIL - same symptoms as before - on entering password, screen refresh and blank password form represented. Create new user account and login to it: SUCCESS Load lost user data directory using GUI prompt: FAIL - user1 home directory has README: """ THIS DIRECTORY HAS BEEN UNMOUNTED TO PROTECT YOUR DATA. From the graphical desktop, click on: "Access Your Private Data" or From the command line, run: ecryptfs-mount-private """ Already tried and failed ecryptfs-mount-private, so clicked on "Access Your Private Data": FAIL - a terminal windows flashes up for the tiniest fraction of a second and nothing more happens. Notable Symptom: Logged in as root to file this report. But on attempting connection through network router, my system asked me to create a new keyring password. I did already have a keyring password. This suggests the keyring password was wiped. Perhaps it was lost when the user password was changed?
