Re: [Geary] Trusting Server issues

[Jim Nelson <jim yorba org>]

Anything you can add to the ticket is welcome.  At this point I believe these issues to be configuration/installation problems.  (The other reporter noted that the issue went away when he installed Xubuntu, for example.)  I'm just not sure what Geary could be doing wrong here, as our use of gcr-3 is pretty constrained.

It sounds like you're having a similar issue as reported at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736640

 

It does indeed look like the same bug.  Do you want me to add something to that bug?

 

 

Unfortunately, I don't know at this point what the root issue is.  Geary uses gcr-3 to pin certificates (store them as trusted).  The error you're reporting is coming from gcr-3.  It probably indicates an issue with the backing.

 

This is grc-3 on my system: local/gcr 3.12.2-1

    A library for bits of crypto UI and parsing

 

 

 

When you say you're using geary-keyring but only for Geary, how did you install it?  What distro are you using?

gnome-keyring: I meant that I only installed gnome-keyring to use with Geary, as the package script written for it in the AUR (Archlinux User Repository) lists gnome-keyring as a dependency.

.

And my version of Geary:

 

 % pacQi geary-devel

Name           : geary-devel

Version        : 0.8.0-2

Architecture   : x86_64

Provides       : geary

Depends On     : gnome-keyring  gmime  libcanberra  libgee  libnotify  webkitgtk

 

 I'm happy to try either build directly from source using a different version or a patch...not sure which would help, though..

 

I also tried to add the parameters novalidate-cert to some of the email accounts mail server address in the geary.ito see if that helps; and geary seems to stop asking me to validate those certs bu continues to cycle through other accounts on same server and asking to validate those, with same 'pinning problem' as before.  Will test some more tomorrow.
