Hello everyone! So, I've reinstalled my Garuda OS for many reasons, one of those is that I didn't encrypt ANY of my partitions, let alone the system. Now encrypted, I have one partition for the system, another for storing games and another to store my files. I'm that kind of person.

But upon opening the file manager and trying to mount any partition, I put my password and select "Remember forever", just to get a new slim window saying:

Error storing passphrase in keyring (The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files)

In the end, I can mount the partitions, but I have to put the password everysingletime. The wishful dream here is that my Files partition is already mounted and opened for me when I boot up my Garuda.

If anyone can help me with this, be with links or knowledge, I'll be very very grateful!

You need something to provide this service.

Let’s try a package search in case it’s provided by a package:

$ pacman -Ss org.freedesktop.secrets
extra/gnome-keyring 1:40.0-1 (gnome)
    Stores passwords and encryption keys
community/keepassxc 2.6.6-1
    Cross-platform community-driven port of Keepass password manager

Yup, you have an immediate choice of two packages. There may be other options if you look on the Arch wiki.

Thank you, jonathon! It worked with gnome-keyring! It did took me a couple of reboots on every user I have for the passwords to stick, but they are all done now!
Thank you so much : 3
