[Bug]: Only three accounts supported

[tomirgang]

Describe the bug

I'm using Tuba 0.8.4 from Flathub on VanillaOS 2.
I think I spotted a bug:
I can add more then three accounts, but after every restart only the first three accounts are available.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install Tuba 0.8.4 form Flathub
2. Add more then three Mastodon accounts
3. Close the app and reopen it.
   Only the first three accounts are available.

Thanks for the report!

Tuba securely saves and reads accounts from the secret-service. Sometimes distros and setups have configured it wrong. You can try and see if they are saved correctly using Passwords & Keys (seahorse) and check if there's any errors when running tuba with flatpak run dev.geopjr.Tuba but other than that there's not much I can do.

I'll try VanillaOS in a vm and attempt to re-produce it but from Tuba's side there's no hard-limits and will add as many accounts as the secret-service returns.

Hi @GeopJr,

I just found one entry for Tuba in the secret store:

secret-tool search --all --unlock app_id dev.geopjr.Tuba
[/15]
label = 
5�****more binary stuff***
created = 2024-10-30 06:27:53
modified = 2024-10-30 06:27:53
schema = org.freedesktop.Secret.Generic
attribute.app_id = dev.geopjr.Tuba

and no account information at all.

The console log showed some warnings:

I'm having the same issue, but I'm actually limited to only one account. :(

[GeopJr]

Someone on Mastodon helped me debug this further, I just haven't gotten back into FOSS from the holidays :P

If the accounts have the same name, try changing the display name of one you are adding temporarily until you add it and then change it back

[mickeymarse]

No rush at all. Feel free to answer whenever you can.
In my case, accounts have different names and server. No similarities whatsoever.
Happy to check the original thread if you still have the link though.

It was mostly a one off message so nothing to really check out. Uhmm, I don't know.

• Are there are any errors right after adding your accounts?
• Do the accounts have any similarities in regards of handle / display name?
• What's your distro (and DE)?
• You do have a libsecret backend installed, right? (Kwallet, gnome-keyring, keepass...)
• Could you make sure the keyring is unlocked with seahorse / Passwords & Keys?
• What backend software do both the accounts run? (Mastodon, Akkoma etc)

Other than that, I'm out of ideas. We do have some hacks around some issues with some setups (we unlock the whole keyring when we shouldn't have to and we don't on GNOME and KDE at least), but I don't think that has anything to do with it since at least one was saved.

From Tuba's side, all it does is ask libsecret to save the account to the keyring, but if that failed there would be at least 2-3 warnings shown :////

I wish I could reproduce it
