Keyring for gnome on KDE Plasma problem
Keyring for gnome on KDE Plasma problem
You're trying to run Minecraft on Manjaro KDE and need a Gnome keyring, but it's not working as expected. The advice you followed—downloading the keyring and running the daemon—seems correct, yet you're still needing to log in with your Microsoft account after a restart. Have you considered checking if the keyring is properly installed and configured, or if there might be an issue with your account permissions?
I configured it to start automatically. For a simpler setup, using a third-party Minecraft launcher independent of the Gnome Keyring would be more convenient. The launcher I prefer is MultiMC, which excels at modding and supporting multiple Minecraft instances.
MultiMC isn't compatible with Microsoft or migrated accounts. The system starts with the information from the arch wiki, including the auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so file and session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start to pam.d/login. The configuration should point to ./bash_profile, and xintric is involved.
They added support for migrated accounts pretty recently. I haven't tested it (my account is still a Mojang account) but it is an option in settings to add a Microsoft account.
ok, I'll give it a try. But I do feel kinda nervous not using the official one. ik it is fine, but still
This hasn't functioned yet, but I thought I'd leave it here for anyone who might find a clue. It worked with mc from flatpak IRC, but it ran at 25fps with a very low resolution. Alright, I fixed it on KDE Neon. For those curious: Installing software used discover to add Minecraft via flatpak. Set up a package manager (I used muon, which is add or remove software on Manjaro). Install gnome-keyring and libsecret. Modified pam.d login settings—open /etc/pam.d, edit the login file, add lines for auth and session keyring. Removed the old session line. Also cleared the previous keyring entry. Then accessed KDE system settings, turned off kwallet, and ran "gnome-keyring-daemon --start" in a terminal. Signing into Minecraft should prompt for the keyring password, matching your login. Try restarting your PC and see if it works. Hope this helps someone else.
Edit: After attempts to recreate this, I found these tips:
1. Download Minecraft from minecraft.new/download; the flatpack version caused performance issues.
2. Keep kwallet enabled, but rename the default keyring to "Default Keyring" instead of the standard one.
3. Consider using multimc if you prefer avoiding this step.
I'm hoping these steps assist someone facing the same problem.
