`proton-vpn-gtk-app` not opening withing 2 minute (120 second) of system startup! about proton-vpn-gtk-app HOT 8 CLOSED

@BIGBEASTISHANK you need to install one of these "optional" packages based on your DE/WM for the python-proton-keyring-linux package:

gnome-keyring - Gnome keyring support
kwallet5 – KDE keyring support
pass

the 120 seconds might be because the app is waiting for a secret service to be available and it times out after 120 seconds

from proton-vpn-gtk-app.

need to install one of these

Just for records, i use brave which install kwallet5

the 120 seconds might be because the app is waiting for a secret service to be available and it times out after 120 seconds

i dont think you read the issue properly, it works fine efter 120 seconds, like if my pc boots up (login) and its been 30 seconds, i try to run proton it dont work, killall proton process, try after 120 seconds of total login time, it works

@BIGBEASTISHANK Sorry I've not read your comment carefully, so then there might be something wrong with other services in your system, I'm not familiar with kwallet enough, so can you do this command for kwallet and see if there is an issue there?

systemd-analyze --user critical-chain gnome-keyring-daemon.service

these are the results for me:

gnome-keyring-daemon.service @154ms
└─basic.target @151ms
  └─sockets.target @151ms
    └─dbus.socket @143ms +7ms
      └─app.slice @143ms
        └─-.slice @103ms

so it takes 154ms for it to be up and running, I'm guessing it's taking longer for you

@BIGBEASTISHANK No, you don't have the "Gnome" keyring obviously, I don't know what's the wallet service name, do it for that

from proton-vpn-gtk-app.

It might be plasma-kwallet-pam.service I'm not sure though

from proton-vpn-gtk-app.

I searched the issue on chat gpt, it told me that their might be issue with dbus, somethign secrat service like that

Got it fixed, the problem was kwallet5 is just slow and protonvpn works better with gnome-keyring

potential fix:

paru -S kwallet5
paru -S gnome-keyring pass

i have to install kwallet as i use ark which works on kwallet for some reason
Thanks @molaeiali
