Same problem/bug is on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. All asked libraries installed but still the message with "Missing security dependencies". Additionally I Installed Trinity Wallet on a new laptop and got there a stuck after "choose your ledger account index" like #589 .
Also on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
Is there already a solution?

Is this still reproducable with Trinity desktop0.4.3? Cannot reproduce with vanilla default setup Ubuntu 18.04.1 and 18.10.1.

Hi Rihards,

updated from 0.4.2 to 0.4.3 and still the same problem (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS).

Can finally reproduce when running the wallet as root user (sudo). The issue is with node-keytar atom/node-keytar#132 . Will work on a fix.

OK thanks :)

Wanted to try Trinity Wallet on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. Have the same issue. Downloaded trinity-desktop-0.4.6.AppImage. All dependencies are up to date. Someone else this problem again with Trinity Wallet 0.4.6?

@DannyS86 is the gnome-keyring-daemon process running?

[IOTANGLE42]

@DannyS86 do you run App with sudo? Only work when you do NOT start with sudo

[sacrificium-dev]

@IOTANGLE42 yes, I started with sudo. Without the trinity wallet won't come up without displaying any information in the Terminal.
@rajivshah3 yes, the gnome-keyring-daemon is running.
Thank you guys!

I've deleted the folder ~./.config/Trinity. Downloaded trinity-desktop-0.4.6.AppImage, chmod +xed it and ran the app image file without sudo. Trinity then finally loaded correctly and recognized the installed dependencies, however, it doesn't register correctly as an application as one has to manually run the binary from the terminal. Opening "Home" and searching for "Trinity" doesn't give any results.

@luca-moser thank you, that's it! Deleting the ~./.config/Trinity was the solution in my case. Then I was able to start the Trinity Wallet (without sudo).
Another question by the way: is there anywhere saved a wallet-file that I can copy to my external HDD or is the SeedVault the only solution for securing the wallet outside from my computer?

I got the same issue on Debian 9.6 (stretch) and Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial)
The error message seems to depend on the locale:

export LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8
The text in Electron is: "Missing security dependencies"

export LC_ALL=C
The text in Electron is: "Cannot connect to Secret Service API"

gnome-keyring-daemon is running (tested with seahorse) and i'm not root.

The keytar example mentioned in atom/node-keytar#132 actually does work here, showing my password.

I will close this issue as the original issue is reported to be fixed (Trinity doesn't register correctly as an application should be opened as a new issue).
