Description

Running in both a multipass Ubuntu virt, and on a personal metal server, this error pops up when running spc auth

Error: Error saving token to keyringfailed to unlock correct collection '/org/freedesktop/secrets/aliases/default'

This looks to do with how the login keyring is not created by default for headless users. This might just require additional instructions for headless users to create this keyring, as opposed to a code fix.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to create a default keyring on headless Ubuntu systems or configure `spc` to use an alternative token storage (e.g., file based) to avoid the keyring dependency.
