when launching mysql-workbench I have the following warning:
[12:13:49] coil@coil:~$ sudo mysql-workbench &
[12:14:03] coil@coil:~$ ** Message: Gnome keyring daemon seems to not be available. Stored passwords will be lost once quit
[12:14:05] coil@coil:~$ Ready
Is there a way to fix this issue? Indeed, my passwords never get saved.
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
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.
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=$(ls -d /run/user/1000/keyring-*)
Add this code to the top of file /usr/bin/mysql-workbench
if ls /run/user/`id -u`/keyring-* 1> /dev/null 2>&1; then
gnome-keyring-daemon > /dev/null
fi
export GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=$(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.
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
mysql-workbench is looking for the GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL environment variable. If you are the only one using your computer, that variable should have a value similar to /run/user/1000/keyring-XXXXXX.
I had a similar problem with mysql-workbench package downloaded from dev.mysql.com (because MariaDB and Ubuntu's mysql-workbench package are incompatible) and a simple custom shortcut with the following launch command fixed the problem:
GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=$(ls -d /run/user/1000/keyring-*) /usr/bin/mysql-workbench
The most stupid issue ever seen!
if you start your mysql-workbech by launcher this error comes out.
But if you start your mysql workbench from terminal keyring problem disappears.
Any ideas why this is happening? I was using version 6.0 and upgraded to 6.2.4 nothing changed. The workaround answer for this issue is Go terminal and start stupid workbench by Oracle...
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
I just:
mysql-workbench.mysql-workbench deb package from the official mysql page.dpkg and it solved my problem.I guess the problem was that I installed mysql-workbech with snap.
