Bug Description

Binary package hint: libpam-gnome-keyring

Trying to use the pam_gnome_keyring pam module on amd64 dumps the following in my auth.log:

Sep 30 21:52:32 localhost authdaemond: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so)
Sep 30 21:52:36 localhost authdaemond: PAM [error: /lib/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so: undefined symbol: pam_getenv]
Sep 30 21:52:39 localhost authdaemond: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so

It does not work afterwards. No login.keyring is created in ~/.gnome2/keyrings and I need to type in my passphrase to unlock the keyring.

Sebastien, the upstream bug report seems to be unrelated. Have you used a wrong URL?

This patch removed the warnings in auth.log, but it still does not automatically unlock my keyring. As far as I can tell this box has the exact same setup as my laptop and office computers (both i386), where it works.

Do you use the gdm autologin?

No, I'm logging in using my password. And I made sure the keyring password is the same as my login password as I read somewhere that that was necessary. I also made sure the files in /etc/pam.d are equal to the ones on the other computers I use where auto unlocking the keyring is working.

Does anybody have this working on amd64?

Nobody else complained about it not working and the warning you had, which other amd64 users didn't have, seems to indicate that your pam configuration is not the standard one, maybe it's due to something you installed or configured?
