Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-keyring
After the upgrade of a few days ago in Ubuntu 10.04 (I think it is was
two days ago) I cannot login my Ubuntu machine anymore with VNCVIEWER
because on the screen of the machine I wish to login remote with, the
gnome keyring pops up and VNC seems to cause that. I have never had that
problem and the passwors is supplied with the remote desktop login and
always has brought me straight to the remote desktop screen.
I have read that disabling auto login is an option, however not for me
as it is a media PC and has no keyboard / mouse attached most of the
time.
So what happens;
1) I turn on the Media PC (it auto logs in)
2) I want to access it with vncviewer from my laptop
3) On the media PC the gnome keyring annoyance (sorry but I never liked it)
pops up
4) I can't log in as the "remote desktop" component seems to wait until
authentication is given
5) When I click away the gnome keyring manager or cancel it or kill it by ssh I
can log in (no password entered)
So the annoyance is that I do not have a password stored in the gnome
keyring manager, it does not need a password (since cancelling also
works) and yet the window pops up.
I have removed the gnome keyring stuff from the startup applications it
was not even present before this happened so some upgrade caused the
gnome keyring manager to be active again without my consent.
I also noticed when checking if remote desktop still had a valid
password stored, it also presented me with the gnome keyring for no
reason. After cancelling I could view and edit the properties. So it
seems that on my machine without a stored keyring password probably
every action will present me that annoying popup.
How can I disable this gnome keyring forever? And when I mean forever, I
mean *forever* ;-)
Package is: gnome-keyring
Thank you in advance,
- Jorgen
