Gnome-keyring not working

Desktop Environments Gnome
15

I found the root cause of the issue! Yipiiieeh! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I had added

export $(dbus-launch)

to /etc/profile. If I take that out lightdm with keyring works just fine. Interesting.

Why did I have that in /etc/profile?

Because I use terminator as my terminal app and I have an alias to start a root shell:

alias rterm='sudo -iHb terminator --geometry 1276x1369-0+41 2>/dev/null'

Without the dbus-launch in /etc/profile this fails because terminator can not open the DISPLAY:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Now I am looking for a new solution for this terminator problem. Any ideas?
