When installing GitHub Copilot CLI, you may encounter the error message: The system vault (keychain, keyring, password manager, etc.) is not available. You may need to install one. The solution was documented in this issue.

This article explains how to resolve this issue using systemd.

Install via Apt

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt install -y \
  gnome-keyring \
  libsecret-1-0 \
  libsecret-tools \
  seahorse

Verify systemd is running

$ systemctl is-system-running

Check if the user service is enabled

$ systemctl --user status gnome-keyring-daemon
○ gnome-keyring-daemon.service - GNOME Keyring daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-keyring-daemon.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
TriggeredBy: ○ gnome-keyring-daemon.socket

$ systemctl --user enable gnome-keyring-daemon

$ systemctl --user start gnome-keyring-daemon

$ systemctl --user status gnome-keyring-daemon
