Public bug reported:
Ubuntu release: 18.10 x64
Package version: libsecret-tools 0.18.6-3
Command example: sudo secret-tool store --label='password' key value
(similar issues can be obtained with secret-tool lookup / clear /
search)
Expected behavior: the same behavior as a non-privileged user, that is:
no output in stdout nor syslog, secret-tool simply asks for the password
and stores it.
Observed behavior: After a few seconds of waiting, secret-tool crashes
with the following output in stdout:
(secret-tool:3394): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 15:45:12.811: g_object_unref:
assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
secret-tool: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.secrets:
Timeout was reached
and the following output in /var/log/syslog:
dbus-daemon[4246]: [session uid=0 pid=4244] AppArmor D-Bus mediation is enabled
dbus-daemon[4246]: [session uid=0 pid=4244] Activating service
