Gnome dependencies ImportError on headless server

[bermudi]

I'm getting a bunch of ImportErrors for what looks like gnome dependencies. The thing is, I want to use jrnl on a headless server to record the changes I make so I don't need any keyrings or encryption.

I remember using jrnl like this a few years back and this wasn't a problem back then, what do I need to change?

Hi, thanks for the report.

Can you please provide a bit more info?

• jrnl version
• python version
• how did you install jrnl?

Thanks!

[bermudi]

oh sorry about that!

Debian 9.2, using python 3.5.3, installed using pip3 install jrnl, then added ~/.local/bin to path and loading from there.

[gregorybodnar]

@bermudi What is the result if you check the list of back-ends for keyring:

keyring --list-backends

[wren]

@bermudi We have a new major version coming out soon with a lot of bug fixes. If you have a chance to install the release candidate (pip install jrnl==2.0.0rc4) and report back, I would highly appreciate it.

Looks like keyring requires you to be running the gnome keyring and dbus daemons even in headless configurations.

I suggest the keyring-specific jrnl code be bypassed (including importing the keyring module) if a particular argument is passed. Users in this situation could then easily just alias jrnl so that this argument is silently passed.

[stale]

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[draeath]

So, this problem still exists. Probably shouldn't be flagged stale.

[wren]

Closing in favor of #1020. That issue will fix this one, too, and is the more general issue.
