I also had the exact same problem after applying the same update in Arch Linux. I solved by installing gnome-keyring libsecret libgnome-keyring.
Installing
gnome-keyring
via apt solves the issue. It seemsgnome-keyring
should be included as a dependency in the .deb package.Wow, that’s work for me too. Eventhrough my desktop application is kde. thank you very much. But I wonder is that the correct solutions to this issue. it does make sync work again, but it tell me to set and store a new keyring which i never came across before.
@TylerLeonhardt Ok so I had to enable gnome-keyring daemon and it works fine.
Ya sure I will try figuring it out and let you know how it goes.
It’s a tough one because gnome-keyring isn’t a dependency… our dependency is "anything that implements org.freedesktop.secrets API which is gnome-keyring, kwallet, or KeePassXC…
gnome-keyring is the easiest to set up but not everyone wants that.
