Hello everyone, I was using the novel boxed set sue 10.0. I like the gnome desktop. Before when i logged in i did not have to give a second password to the keyring manager. Now im using opensuse 10.2 that i downloaded from the opensuse web site. After I log in i have to also type in a password to the keyring manager before I can start apps like gaim. Does anyone know how I can set things up so I dont have to type in a second password everytime I log in thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Firstly, you don't want to, GNOME Keyring encrypts your passwords so that they're not just stored in cleartext on your hard drive. Secondly, if you really want to, try setting the keyring password to be blank. It may not work (I've never tried it because I like security) but it could be worth a crack. -- James Ogley, james@usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help End Poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/imin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What happened in previous version was that the GNOME keyring was unlocked automatically if the users password was the same as the keyring password. This custom patch was lost in 10.2 I think.

Nah, setting it to an empty password is not a good idea. What would be a much better idea would be to try to install CASA. So when an app is asking for a GNOME keyring password, CASA will intercept that request and take care of it (unlocking the keyring by itself) and then hand the password to the app. I'm not sure if CASA is shipped with 10.2 or not though.

This patch never existed afaik. CASA works, or you can try the pam_keyring module if your keyring and login passwords are the same. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yhea, my bad. The patch was in SLED10 and I asked for it to be ported to SUSE Linux 10.1 but it never happened.
