Hi, I looked a bit into why keyring is not used on new versions of Gnome (see the email below), there is also Jira for it: NETBEANS-4150
- On Gnome 'gnome-keyring' library was used which is no longer present in new versions and is replaced by "libsecret". - libsecret calls the "Secret Service" API using D-Bus. - Secret Service should be supported by both gnome and kde desktops. Now we could 1) add a new KeyringProvider that would use libsecret using JNA - same like GnomeProvider currently uses gnome-keyring. 2) Or we could call the Secret Service D-Bus using dbus-send application (that should be installed on gnome desktops) - KWalletProvider is currently done that way using qdbus application 3) or we could call D-Bus "directly" from java probably using dbus-java [1] What would be the preferred way to do this? 3) looks the best to me but what are the rules about adding new dependencies? dbus-java is MIT and it depends on jnr-unixsocket which is Apache license.

Our JNA support Gnome 2 API only which is no longer available in recent Ubuntu (and probably other) distributions. There was an option to install that library 18.04, but that is no longer available.

There is -J-Dnetbeans.keyring.no.native=true ? Still at least shows the non-native one though? UI to disable entirely would be on my own papercuts list. Added that to netbeans.conf, restarted, did a git fetch, and got the master password dialog :) Checked the log file and saw this: WARNING [org.netbeans.modules.keyring.fallback.MasterPasswordEncryption]: Falling back to master password encryption; add -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.keyring.level=0 to netbeans.conf to see why native keyrings could not be loaded Added that, got the dialog again, and saw this in the log: https://www.lyonlabs.org/temp/master-password-log.txt So it looks like there's something to the idea that he's looking for some KDE stuff and can't find it (see my other message: no kwallet installed, running a fresh install of Debian Buster w/MATE). I remember that this used to get a lot of complaints years ago, but it's been quite a while since I last saw that dialog. -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe." cenbe.vcf7 bytes --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists [...] On Mon, Mar 22, 2021 at 5:03 PM Glenn Holmer <ce...@kolabnow.com.invalid> wrote: > > I recently switched from KDE to MATE (on Linux) and now I'm frequently > seeing the "enter master password" dialog.
