keyring issues

When you launch Tuba, it searches the default keyring on your system for previously saved accounts. Due to a combination of an older version of gnome-keyring assuming the default keyring is named login and some distributions using a different default keyring name, it can fail and prevent you from proceeding further.

Fix

You can fix this by creating a new password keyring named login using Passwords and Keys (seahorse) or KWalletManager:

1. Select "Password keyring" from the menu at the top-left

2. Input login on the modal that showed up

3. Set a password (recommended but not required - leaving it empty will store keys unencrypted)

login doesn't show up in Passwords and Keys (seahorse) after creating it

• Try rebooting your device
• If that didn't work, follow the following steps with caution:

1. Run killall -9 gnome-keyring-daemon

⚠️ The following will delete your login keyring, do not proceed if you are not absolutely sure that no other important apps used it otherwise you might not be able to login back into them ⚠️

2. Delete the following file .local/share/keyrings/login.keyring
3. Repeat the steps at the first section of this page to re-create the login keyring
4. Reboot your device
