Description:
mysql-workbench requires the 'Gnome keyring daemon' and cannot use the kde keyring daemon

not depending on gnome library's would be nice 

i know its not a bug, but thanks for keeping it open

How to repeat:
user@ubuntu:~$ mysql-workbench
** Message: Gnome keyring daemon seems to not be available. Stored passwords will be lost once quit

Suggested fix:
use generic libary's or compile different

this pyton module might help you http://home.python-keyring.org/

Please, check if recent version, 5.2.33, is still affected by this problem.

Hi All;

TrojanMyth@TrojanNote / $ sudo /usr/local/bin/mysql-workbench
Parola: 
** Message: Gnome keyring daemon seems to not be available. Stored passwords will be lost once quit
No protocol specified

(mysql-workbench-bin:22449): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0

My OS is Pardus 2011. My Desktop Software is KDE.

This problem continues with mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.34-src version.

@Atilla Ilhan KARTAL

you have a different problem, namely this:
(mysql-workbench-bin:22449): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0

not that if you use sudo you must
xhost +localhost
of link you xauth files from the desktop user to the root user

try not to use sudo

This is still broken running 5.2.35 on KDE. Can this be moved from a feature request? Are there docs which specify Gnome is required for it to be fully functional?

The only reference I found (quickly) was:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-requirements-software.html.

It does not specify Gnome, and states that Fedora 15 (32-bit/64-bit) is "officially supported".

So, should all of the features work correctly? And if they don't, is it really a "Feature request"? If it's even possible, is there a doc on how to install (and be fully functional) running KDE?

Still broken with 5.2.39 and Fedora 16 (KDE Spin).

IMHO this is a bug because (as Lee stated before) there is no explicit requirement for Gnome or Gnome keyring daemon specified in the docs.

This is still true in 8.0.12 running under KUbuntu 18.04.1.

Gives the error:

The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files

Workaround in https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=52866 does not work.

I'm considering opening a new bug.
