How to fix the following issue:

    Password for 'default' GNOME keyring: 
    svn: GNOME Keyring is locked and we are non-interactive

I have googled around but can't seem to find a satisfactory answer.

  1. Edit the ~/.subversion/config with gedit or nano , and add the following 

    [auth] 
password-stores =

    then save and try again. All the best.

  3. Solution 1

    In my case the problem persisted until I deleted the default keyring. Using Mate Linux you can use this command to delete the default key file:

    rm ~/.config/mate/keyrings/default

    That solved the problem for me...

  4. None of the solutions googled (removing keyrings from ~/.gnome2, blanking password-stores from ~/.subversion/config, ...) worked for me. I had to unset environment variables GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL GNOME_KEYRING_PID in my startup files (~/.xsession or whatever) in order to prevent their values being inherited from the desktop/login environment.
