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
Do not have gdm as an option for the display manager. Art -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
