Keyring

A keyring generally is required and not automatic except in KDE for some reason :(.

Avoid the annoying gnome-keyring popup that appears the first time you load every program in every session :(. This problem doesn't happen with KDE but for years GNOME has ignored it (See also GHOME is deeply flawed).

One possible solution is to remove the gnome-keyring package, but other packages reinstall it:

  • :( Brave Browser
  • :( Nextcloud client

Avoid the keyring issue in specific programs

  • Brave Browser: Add the --password-store=basic option such as, if you have the binary named /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable, override the system's icon via:
cd linux-preinstall && \
  mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications && \
  cp AlwaysAdd/HOME/.local/share/applications/brave-browser.desktop \
    ~/.local/share/applications/

The icon was modified in the following ways:

  • For more compatibility (so it works with either brave-browser-stable or other binaries), it requires the /usr/bin/brave-browser alias.
    • If it doesn't load, ensure the alternatives are set in your OS: update-alternatives --config brave-browser
  • Note that to fix the shortcut (such as was already done in the one above), there is not just one Exec= line. Each must be fixed such as in the following subsections in the icon for the Ubuntu 20.04 package of 102.1.39.111:
    • [Desktop Entry]
    • [Desktop Action new-window]
    • [Desktop Action new-private-window]
