General
#1

Hello everybody, i was having tons of problems with the secrets collection, so i deleted the folder. Now everything is working, but no apps is asking me about the access to the secrets collection

Does anybody knows how to bring secrets back?maybe not in a corrupted state like it was, or it’s gone forever?

Thank you everybody

what is this? It’s not an app, I guess?

#3

it is a system database to store login information etc

#4

Which folder? .local/share/system/privileged/Secrets?

#5

This is how it looks here:

drwxr-xr-x    2 nemo     privileg      4096 May 19  2022 org.sailfishos.secrets.plugin.storage.sqlite

… maybe recreating that structure (and permissions!) helps.

ok thank you, and how could i recreate that?

#8 
mkdir <dirname>
chmod 755 <dirname>
chown nemo:privileged <dirname>

You may have to use defaultuser instead of nemo.
