Geary keeps quitting after launch (GDbusError)

michaelrowe

I installed Geary from Flathub but every time I try to launch it I get an error that is only onscreen for a second before disappearing (I had to record my desktop and then screenshot the video after pausing it on the error message).

The message details are:

Error type: GDbusError 2
Message: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files.

More information is in the screenshot below.

I have no idea what any of that means. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could try to fix it?

michaelrowe Installed and it is working fine for me.
There are reports from some users having issues with flatpaks. The fix for them was by reinstalling fuse2 package.
Maybe you can try it: sudo eopkg it --reinstall fuse2

algent

Is this the only flathub package that you are using?

michaelrowe

algent No, I'm also running Obsidian and Zoom, both of which work with no problems.

michaelrowe

algent I reinstalled the fuse 2 package and also removed and reinstalled Geary. Got the same error.

I think the same error appears when you miss the package gnome-keyring. But a flatpak should've all the dependencies bundled, right?

Staudey This was the problem. I installed gnome-keyring and Geary launched with no problems. Emails downloading as I write this. Thank you.
