mysql-workbench and Gnome keyring daemon problem

gnome password keyrings mysql-workbench

Solution 1

The bug has been fixed in MySQL Workbench 6.2.5 / 6.3.0 releases. http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=74771

A possible workaround was to add this code to the top of file /usr/bin/mysql-workbench

export GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=1

This fix work on my ubuntu 14.04 with MySQL Workbench community 6.2.4 from deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ trusty workbench-6.2

Solution 2

There's a neat way I found, try this out.

Step 1: After installation unlock the workbench icon from launcher.

Step 2: press the super(window) button on your machine and search for workbench.

Step 3: Open workbench from the search results.

Step 4: Once open, lock the workbench icon to the launcher.

Voila !!! The keyring problem disappears.

Solution 3

This answer is a variation on the guest1000's solution, but I don't have enough rep to create a comment.

Anyway, adding the following to ~/.bashrc also works and seems cleaner to me:

export GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=$(ls -d /run/user/1000/keyring-*)

Solution 4

Add this code to the top of file /usr/bin/mysql-workbench

if ls /run/user/`id -u`/keyring-* 1> /dev/null 2>&1; then
    gnome-keyring-daemon > /dev/null
fi

export GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=$(ls -d /run/user/`id -u`/keyring-* | head -n 1)

It's not clean solution, but it works. No need of running workbench from terminal.

Solution 5

I did as follows i am using Workbench 6.3

sudo gedit /usr/bin/mysql-workbench

Just remove the comment

@line 5

WB_NO_GNOME_KEYRING=1

I have created a 24 hour clock and I want to be able to reset it to 00:00:00 when the enter key is pressed. The clock itself functions fine but I am unable to include the reset functionality properly

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Clock _clock = new Clock();
        ConsoleKeyInfo _key = Console.ReadKey();

        while (true)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(_clock.Time);
            _clock.Tick();
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

            if (_key.KeyChar == (char)13)
            {
                _clock.Reset();
            }
     }

Wow! I just realized that I always was launching workbench from dash (start menu) but not from launchbar. And now today after few years of using workbench launched it by clicking on launcher and got that problem!

I would be very surprised if you had encountered the very same problem from 2014.

This is the most correct solution for snap users.

The snap works, the issue is with permissions. Have a look at Amrit's answer
