Linux(Gnome): OS Keyring not available even with gnome-keyring installed

[BlankParticle]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.81.0
• OS Version: NixOS 23.11 (Tapir) x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install VSCode 1.81 on Gnome
2. Try to sign in normally or with --password-store="gnome"
3. Sign In with github

I get this error while trying to sign in with github

You're running in a GNOME environment but the OS keyring is not available for encryption. Ensure you have gnome-keyring or another libsecret compatible implementation installed and running.

I have gnome-keyring installed and didn't face this issue until 1.81, the issue goes away if I downgrade to 1.80

Same error occurs with --password-store="gnome", --password-store="gnome-libsecret" and --password-store="gnome-keyring".

I can sign in but it doesn't persist if I close and reopen VSCode, currently I am using --password-store="basic" as a work around.

This type of issue is reported in #187338, but I was suggested to create a new issue for my case.

Here is logs from code --verbose --vmodule="*/components/os_crypt/*=1" --disable-extensions --password-store="gnome"

Turns out it was a NixOS Problem as libsecret was not present as a run time dependency, I have tested locally with libsecret as runtime dependency and it works flawlessly even without --password-store="gnome", I will make a PR/issue to nixpkgs repo to fix this

Cool glad you've figured it out! I'll close this since it sounds like the issue is on NixOS.
