Description
Description
Some Linux environments seem to be unable to access the system's password manager despite Storage Explorer's password manager service being connected.
Repro Steps
- Create an Ubuntu Linux Hyper-V VM using Quick Create.
- Install Storage Explorer snap (not 1.38.0).
- Create a default keyring.
- Connect the Storage Explorer snap's password manager service.
- Launch Storage Explorer.
Actual
A message box saying the app failed to communicate with the password manager pops up.
Expected
The app launches normally.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue using the Ubuntu Hyper-V VM, the Storage Explorer snap, a default keyring, and the connected password manager service. Compare behavior with the noted 1.38.0 exception and inspect the password-manager integration entry point. Done means Storage Explorer launches normally without the communication error.
