keep asking for kwallet in gnome

[braindevices]

Describe the bug
In gnome desktop, the keyring ask for kwallet if the required service does not exist. keyring get test-vault user ask to create new kwallet instead of reporting empty pwd or null.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. keyring get test-vault user or keyring -b keyring.backends.chainer.ChainerBackend get test-vault user
   It ask to create new kwallet. If the test-valut exists, then it is ok.
2. keyring -b keyring.backends.SecretService.Keyring get test-vault user return nothing which is fine.

Expected behavior
should use password exists in gnome keyring or report no such service in gnome keyring.

Environment

• OS: ubuntu 20.04

$ pip list | grep keyring
keyring                 18.0.1               
keyrings.alt            3.4.0 
...
$ keyring --list-backends
keyring.backends.kwallet.DBusKeyring (priority: 4.9)
keyring.backends.fail.Keyring (priority: 0)
keyring.backends.SecretService.Keyring (priority: 5)
keyring.backends.chainer.ChainerBackend (priority: 10)
keyrings.alt.file.PlaintextKeyring (priority: 0.5)
keyrings.alt.file.EncryptedKeyring (priority: 0.6)
...

Additional context
I do have kwalletd in system since I also installed some kde app. But they did not cause any problem before. This only happens in recent months.

I think it's the same issue as #496, which is caused by the introduction of keyring chainer in keyring 16.0.

As a workaround, you can set the SecretService backend in the configuration file.

@mitya57 thanks!

hm... the keyringrc.cfg in homedir or current root does not have any effect. the ~/.local/share/python_keyring does not exists.

python3 -c "import keyring.util.platform_; print(keyring.util.platform_.data_root())"

show ~/.local/share/python_keyring

Any idea?

[braindevices]

ok, right now we have to put the file in the ~/.local/share/python_keyring
