#Workaround for #VSCode / #VSCodium error "Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.secrets: Timeout was reached" is to run `gnome-keyring-daemon -f` (the actual binary that implements secret management functionality) in a terminal in foreground
I know it's a pain in the rear, but nothing else helped.
This problem has started for me the last week, likely because of some update somewhere and because I don't run #Gnome, but rather I run #XMonad.
