I use TLS authentication to connect to office network, and the
certificate's password is stored in the keyring. When I login after
reboot, I'm asked for the keyring password (which is different from the
login password), and then the network connection is established.
However, when the machine is returning from stand-by mode (suspend to
RAM), the network manager would try to establish connection for a few
seconds, and then show the dialog with connection properties. The
password is already entered, so I just need to press OK to establish a
connection. Howerver, the whole process seems unnecessary - why wouldn't
network manager connect automatically, if the keyring is already
unlocked?
The worst thing is that, when this happens, the certificate password is
also REMOVED from the keyring! So the next time I have to enter it
manually.
I found the following work-around for this problem. I copied
~/.local/share/keyrings folder to ~/.local/share/keyrings2, and created
a script which copies it back, restoring the keyring to its original
state. Although this work-around works for me, I'm sure this is a bug
which should be fixed.
