i think nothing should be automatically unsecure or secure (i understand that some defaults are necessary and i do not see a point in discussing what defaults should be), but the user should have the options to set his level of security as he sees fit. thus: automatic login does what it says: it logs the desired user in when the computer starts. this is currently working well.
what is not possible at the moment (at least i have not managed to achieve it): that one of the keyrings is automatically unlocked when i am logged in. at the moment there is a connection between how i was logged in (automatic or not) and the automatic unlocking of a keyring. this connection, which is not transparent to the user and not controllable by the user is what is the issue. suggestion: keyring should honor what the interface says 'unlock this keyring whenever i am logged in' (no tacit assumption how the login happened). a blank password is not the option - the point is not avoiding to type but avoiding to be asked, which means processes (e.g. the network connection, and thus mail download) do not start automatically unattended. at the moment i see a bug in the difference between the keyring interface text and the behavior. i suggest to modify the behavior. the result will be that users can decide how secure their systems should be and how often they should be asked for passwords. -- lucid - keyring is not unlocked automatically, no option to set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
