[Bug 987167] Re: unable to set gnome-keyring key timeout (SSH and GPG keys)

 

Still present in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Thar.  It used to be
configurable IIRC.  Why the regression?

Workaround:

Edit ${HOME}/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

Add:

default-cache-ttl 86400 # default-cache-ttl in secondes, here
representing 24 hours.

Logout for this to take effect.

Title:
  unable to set gnome-keyring key timeout (SSH and GPG keys)

Status in gcr package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-keyring package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am unable to set the timeout values for any particular GPG key.  The default seems to be for the entire session.
  I have installed "seahorse" package to help configure.  For my particular case, I am using KMyMoney which uses a GPG key to lock the database.  I created a personal key entry in seahorse, and used it to lock the database.  However, I am only prompted for the passphrase if I log out of my session completely.  I wish to configure this such that it times out after 10 minutes (for example).

  Bug #645561 seems to be similar case, though I could not find a
  solution given that fix.

  I am using 12.04 with gnome shell.

  Thanks!
