Problem: Adding chain-maind keys will not be actually stored in disk

[maannajjar]

Describe the bug
Whenever I try to add new key, or import new one. Then type list the keys it returns an empty list

To Reproduce

1. chain-maind keys add Default (or chain-maind keys import Default key_file)
2. Type the encryption password for the key
3. chain-maind will print new key details with recovery keys
4. Run chain-maind keys list, the output will be []

Expected behavior
chain-maind keys list should output list including the newly added key

Screenshots
See following example (those keys are for testing only and are not used or maintained)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux , Pop OS 20.10 (Based on Ubuntu 20.10)
• Browser None
• Version Ubuntu 20.10 / Linux 5.8.0-7642-generic #47~1612288990~20.10~b8113e7-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 3 02:27:26 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Additional context
I tested the same commands in macOS and I was unable to reproduce this bug. Seems to be only happening in Linux

@maannajjar can you try with 1.2.0? also, do you run a headless distribution or do you have some GUI (e.g. gnome)? For the default keyring backend: https://docs.cosmos.network/master/run-node/keyring.html#the-os-backend -- one may need e.g. Seahorse on Linux.

@tomtau I tried with 1.2.0 but it didn't work too. I'm running with Gnome GUI. When adding new key I do get the keyring prompt to create password for the new key (screenshot 1). I also opened the keyring management and I saw all the keys that were created by chain-maind (screenshot 2). I was able to unlock them using the passwords I used. I also tried unencrypted key (empty password), but that also didn't work.

reproduced it, i'll fix it

before fixed, you can use)

[leejw51crypto]

found the cause, working on now.

[tomtau]

should be fixed with 99designs/keyring#83

[leejw51crypto]

to make it work on linux
keyrings folder)
