On Ubuntu 22.04, allmost fresh install, Gnome desktop
When running the Bitwarden desktop app (which comes as a snap nowadays), the syslog will be spammed with apparmor DENIED messages.

dbus-daemon[16626]: apparmor=“DENIED” operation=“dbus_method_call” bus=“session” path="/org/freedesktop/secrets" interface=“org.freedesktop.Secret.Service” member=“OpenSession” mask=“send” name=":1.17" pid=19933 label=“snap.bitwarden.bitwarden” peer_pid=16634 peer_label=“unconfined”

bitwarden[19933]: Remote error from secret service: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: An AppArmor policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient; type=“method_call”, sender=":1.125" (uid=1001107 pid=19933 comm="/snap/bitwarden/79/bitwarden --no-sandbox --enable" label=“snap.bitwarden.bitwarden (enforce)”) interface=“org.freedesktop.Secret.Service” member=“OpenSession” error name="(unset)" requested_reply=“0” destination=":1.17" (uid=1001107 pid=16634 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login " label=“unconfined”)

This will repeat after appr. 10 secs until I stop the app. Any suggestions for diagnosing further or fixing?

While I’m not sure if this will assist with your issue, I noticed Bitwarden also provided an .AppImage download as an alternative to the snap package.
Have you perhaps tried to install that?

I’m basically trying to have a straight forward Linux setup (trying Ubuntu/Gnome) that I can recommend to others (without becoming their support guy). Hence, I don’t want to deviate from the standard way of setting up, which is SnapStore in this case. So I hope, somebody knowlegable will look after the problem and send an update.
However, thanks for the hint. I’ll give it a try.

Thank you. Turning the password permissions on removes the repeating syslogs while the app is running. Some logs are still there when starting up.
