Description cyclaero 2022-04-15 22:58:43 UTC 
The keyring does not become unlocked because the file /usr/local/etc/pam.d/gdm-password is missing the respective directives for invoking the gnome-keyring-daemon.

I copied over said file from an old gdm-3.28.4_6 installation, and this resolved the issue:

Thank you very much for the quick fix. It does work.

I closely accompany GNOME on FreeBSD and I am very glad and thankful that it became updated and on how well it is maintained since 1.5 years.

Please keep up the great work.

Best regards

Rolf

(In reply to cyclaero from comment #3)
You're welcome and thanks for the kind words!

I actually use GNOME on FreeBSD myself also, so I have an incentive to have a usable desktop.

Previously, GNOME on FreeBSD was poorly maintained, while KDE was very well maintained, so I tried switching to KDE but didn't like it. No offense to KDE fans, they have a right to like KDE the way I like GNOME.
