Bug 290015 – mail-notification cannot save password in keyring (started with upgrade to 2-26)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Allan Gottlieb 2009-10-21 14:21:56 UTC]

Mail-notification has been working for many months.
Just upgraded to 2-26 and mail-notification can no longer write to keyring.

Note: I log in to machine allan and execute ssh -Y ajglap mail-notification
allan is amd64  ajglap is x86   both upgraded to 2-26
I believe it worked when just allan was upgraded, but fails consistently now
that ajglap is upgraded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into allan (amd64)
2. Execute ssh -Y ajglap mail-notification
3.

Actual Results:  
mail-notification cannot write to keyring

Expected Results:  
mail-notification writes password to keyring so doesn't have to ask
for it every time.

There are two machines.  When I pasted both emerge --info outputs,
the comment was too long so am attaching them

Not Gnome's...

Additional information: When mail notification is run directly on ajglap (i.e,
when I am logged into ajglap), all is well.

The trouble is when I log into allan and do ssh -Y ajglap mail-notification

Still valid with 5.4-r5?

Yes when ssh'ed from allan, ajglap can't save to keyring.
When run locally, it doesn't even ask (I guess it is already in the keyring).

Previously I tested with allan (amd64 desktop) --> ajglap (~amd64 laptop).
I have a new install newlap (~amd64 laptop) which is now running gnome3.
I have stoped updating ajglap so can't install new mail-notification there.

I did just now test from ajglap --> newlap and it works great!  thanks.
