You where on Gnome.
I was on Gnome.
Because:
you where on Gnome
I was on Gnome
so I could replicate what you said.
So I installed it into a VM.
Gnome is not what I normally use.

I was referring to manjaro-logs-helper ā¦were youā¦
yes, I was - not only in this specific instance was I referring to a Gnome installation

yes, I was
I still am.
Yes, I saw the entire log. We already know why gkr-pam couldnāt unlock the keyring. Itās in the topic title.
One must manually unlock the keyring after login after opening any program that requires it. That doesnāt seem to apply here.

Either way, it seems this thread is still going nowhere as a @pjpreilly has unrealistic expectations about how Polkit should work. No, itās not going to wait patiently while your screen is locked for you to come back hours or even a few minutes later. The dialog is designed to timeout for security. Thereās no way around it.
Go ahead and create an upstream Pokit issue so they can tell you the same thingāalbeit with possibly more info regarding the inner workings. However, I do not recommend doing so as it would be a waste of time for everyone involved.

so it works in gnome on a vmā¦
Or maybe it just works, and you need to figure out why it doesnāt for you, maybe it is PEBCAK.
Nahhhh
Yeah, Iām goodā¦Iām a user with a workaroundā¦
Fair enough. However, this thread has gone on for so long I donāt know what workaround you might be talking about. If it was already mentioned above, please mark that post as the solution 
.
I did but I didnāt actually testā¦
Well, test then. 
Of course it will work, it keeps the screen on. However, since youāre using GNOME, I suggest gnome-shell-extension-caffeine instead of caffeine-ng.
