run with --password-store=basic flag from the command line. if that helps, simply make a .desktop file with the proper Exec= field. let me know if you need more details.

UPD: just saw there was an earlier response on this! hope that helped.

I've been keeping a sandboxed chromium on my machines only to access Facebook. For everything else I use qutebrowser.

When chromium started doing this (letting it access my keyring was not an option), I decided that instead of looking in the config or switching to firefox, it's time to finally drop Facebook from my life. Problem solved, hundreds of megabytes freed :)

Does it mention something about "your login key was not unlocked when you logged in"?

If so, open up the application called "Passwords and Keys" (or "seahorse"), right click on "Login" > Change password and set it to match your Linux user account.

yeah, that's the (automated) translation of the text shown in the picture:

Unlocking the login keychain

Authentication required Your login keychain was not unlocked when you signed in to the computer.

Password:

If you have autologin on boot enabled you could try disabling it and then login manually on boot

That helped for me

If you want to keep autologin enabled, you can also just set the password to nothing (that is, when you're setting the password, just press enter without typing anything) to disable the password.

Saves having to mess with the .desktop files.

Which is a bad thing if your user is in the sudoers or wheel group

I meant in the Passwords and Keys app below, sorry should have specified!

Ahh I see yes that's better.

I did this now. It helped me :)

If you don't plan on having it save passwords, you can add the following to the .desktop file your using for the Exec line:

--password-store=basic

The line for my chrome setup for some public computers at work is:

Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --password-store=basic %U

So you'd just need to replace the file path to your chromium path and it should work.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
