[Bug 553272] New: pidgin does not remember passwords
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553272 Summary: pidgin does not remember passwords Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: holgi@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: vuntz@novell.com Found By: Component Test I'm using pidgin in an openbox environment. Everytime when I do start pidgin I have to enter the passwords for all of my 4 accounts even I selected [X] Remember Password Maybe a gnome application for storing passwords is missing. But if so the dependencies of pidgin do miss them. Just for completeness: With 11.1 I was using pidgin in the same environment without any problem with storing the passwords. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you try the pidgin package from home:vuntz:11.2-testing? It should not use the keyring if it's not running.
(this is only for 11.2 for now, though)
Works, thanks! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

however not using the keyring would store the password in plaintext again i think - so i only consider that as a temporary workaround
If you're running factory, you're most likely hit by bug 567938, which is slightly different. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

dm-crypt on /home works wonders. On the desktop, at least.. ;) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Vincent, do you think that your patch is ready to be used in online update instead of approach described in bug 566286 comment 17?
No, this patch is not perfect either. The fact that a password saved in the xml is removed once you use pidgin and a keyring is running is problematic. If we were assuming that pidgin would only run in GNOME, then the current patch would be fine. But if we cannot assume this, then I think we'll hit issues whatever we try to do if we try to use the keyring. I prefer to remove the patch if possible... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
