When running 1.5.8 on Linux I received this dialog:
“Unlock Login Dialog”
I dismissed it, and CM came up. But when I attempted to select and use a CM vault I got the dialog again, but this time was not able to dismiss it. It blocked all key strokes, effectively locking up my entire computer. Fortunately, I was able to drop to a new terminal with Ctl-Alt-F1 and then use HTOP to kill the cryptomator application.
This message never occurred with CM 1.4.3. It’s a message that people got a lot with Chrome in 2012, but didn’t freeze their system. AFAIK, I’ve never set up login keyrings. Despite the name, the login keyring doesn’t actually contain my login information. Perhaps on other systems it does. In the end I deleted the ~/.local/share/keyrings directory (actually just moved it) and killed the process gnome-keyring-d . After that I could run CM 1.5.8. But I noticed that it no longer offers to remember the password for me. But it still does on CM 1.5.8 on Windows. So I’m guessing that the new CM 1.5.8 is attempting to use the login keyring to store passwords. My feeling is that it should be possible to dismiss (cancel) the “Unlock Login Keyring” dialog without being frozen out of your entire system. I was lucky enough to have a Linux expert around, but others may not be that fortunate. I’m probably not the only person who doesn’t have keyrings set up, or who set it up once and never needed it again.
Edit: I’ve now managed to recreate a functional login keyring. However, CM still does not offer me the ability to save my vault password. Is this a known problem/feature in CM for Linux?
Thanks!
