Bug#760102: Re: Bug#760102: gnome-keyring: Breaks gpg-agent with no UI to disable
FWIW, you don't have to modify files in /etc to achieve the workaround, it is sufficient to do: jas@latte:~$ mkdir ~/.config/autostart jas@latte:~$ cp /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop ~/.config/autostart/ jas@latte:~$ echo 'Hidden=true' ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop jas@latte:~$ cp /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop ~/.config/autostart/ jas@latte:~$ echo 'Hidden=true' ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop See http://blog.josefsson.org/2015/01/02/openpgp-smartcards-and-gnome/ for more info, including a reference to this bug#. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

There used to be a UI to edit the startup applications but this seems to have been removed. gnome-session-properties is indeed gone. You can still configure this by hand by removing the relevant startup application from /etc/xdg/autostart.

This is in fact how I resolved the issue locally but it is not great for multi-user systems or systems where the same user account is shared between many systems; in general having to edit files in /etc in order to get desktop environment functionality working doesn't seem like a good situation. The balance between what's being provided and the difficulty in disabling it doesn't seem right; perhaps Debian ought to be defaulting to gpg-agent instead (I'm not sure if there's anything in GNOME that depends on keyring providing this functionality). signature.asc Description: Digital signature
