🐧 Linux Security Requirements (Click to expand)
If you encounter the error "An OS keyring couldn't be identified" or extension secrets are not saving, follow these steps:
1. Install Dependencies
Choose the command for your distribution:
| Distribution |
Command |
| Arch Linux / Manjaro |
sudo pacman -S gnome-keyring libsecret seahorse |
| Debian / Ubuntu / Mint |
sudo apt install gnome-keyring libsecret-1-0 seahorse |
| Fedora |
sudo dnf install gnome-keyring libsecret seahorse |
2. Setup the Keyring (GUI)
- Open Seahorse (search for "Passwords and Keys" in your menu)
- Click the + button and select "Password Keyring"
- Name it exactly:
Login
- Right-click on the new "Login" keyring and select "Set as default"
- Ensure the padlock icon is open (Unlocked)
You must tell the editor to use the system keyring:
- Open the Command Palette (
Ctrl+Shift+P)
- Type:
Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments
- This will open
argv.json
- Add the following line (ensure correct JSON commas):
"password-store": "gnome"
- Restart your editor completely
🛠️ Fix: "InvalidStateError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker"
If after configuring the keyring the extension shows a "Service Worker" or "Invalid State" error, the interface cache is corrupted. Clear it manually:
- Close the editor completely
- Delete the Service Worker cache (choose your editor):
# For VS Code
rm -rf ~/.config/Code/"Service Worker"
# For VSCodium
rm -rf ~/.config/VSCodium/"Service Worker"
# For Antigravity
rm -rf ~/.config/Antigravity/"Service Worker"
- Optional verification - Find the folder before deleting:
find ~/.config -name "Service Worker" -type d 2>/dev/null
- Restart your editor - The interface will regenerate cleanly
