I have a problem with evolution where everytine it goes out to check email or send email, it asks for the the password eventhough I have the remember password box checked. I sent a but report to Ximian and got the following back.
"You can work around it this way:
test@Merlin:~> gnome-keyring-daemon GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-qdYsbQ/socket GNOME_KEYRING_PID=16304
test@Merlin:~> export GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-qdYsbQ/socket test@Merlin:~> export GNOME_KEYRING_PID=16304
Substitute your socket and pid info in the above commands
Then start evo from the command line and away you go"
Then this:
so this sounds like a future FAQ for folks using evo under KDE then. :-/ feel free to close as NOTABUG, or to add a workaround for KDE people in SuSE (wasn't the whole game about making the use of computers easier? ;-) , or to reassign to gnome-keyring-manager or whatever... :-)
Problem is, the workaround only workas as long as you don't reboot. I turn off my computer every work day to save electricity, so this workaround is only a short term solution. Is Novell going to fix this or does anyone else have a solution so you don't have to do this work around evertime you start your computer? If there is no permanent fix, guess I will have to migrate to KMail.
There is a permanent way around this. There is a package available called, pam_keyring. It is available at: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/pam_key... The description of the package says: pam_keyring is a pam module that launches the gnome-keyring-daemon then tries to unlock a keyring using your login password. One other change I had to make... I had to change my displaymanager from kdm to gdm (I use kde). Now, when I login using gdm, the gnome-keyring-daemon is automatically started up and the environment is setup properly. I can now start evolution simply by clicking on it. The keyring is already unlocked simply by logging in. It works great. Rick -- Rick's Law: What cannot be imagined will be accomplished by a fool.
