Ok, working though this I have a work-around, but not a solution. Someone else can probably come up with a cause. :-) I have two keyrings: login and default. In the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default the default keyring is set as "default", and that is where all my passwords reside. The problem is that Ubuntu is expecting my passwords to be in a keyring called "login". If I delete the "login" keyring then the keyring is recreated, but is of course blank and is *not* set as the default keyring.
The way I got things working was to delete ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring and renamed ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring to ~/.gnome2/login.keyring. Then I edited ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default to say "login" is the default. This might be a roundabout way of doing things, but this worked for me. Now I just have to figure out why I'm not getting prompted for my keyring password at all - even though that keyring definitely has a password. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745780 Title: multiple prompts from gnome-keyring -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
