I found a very similar problem after upgrading ubuntu 8.04 -> ubuntu 10.04.
However, my symptoms were slightly different. I got the: Could not authenticate message but before that I got some query containing "gnome keyring". Here's the actual session: [CODE] ~/prog_dev/boost-svn/ro/sandbox/rw/variadic_templates $ svn commit -m "add macro, ARG_CONSTANCY, to test driver" Password for '(null)' GNOME keyring: svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: MKACTIVITY of '/svn/boost/!svn/act/018d0a5a-eee7-49b3-b42e-b5295ef7b8f8': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://svn.boost.org) ~/prog_dev/boost-svn/ro/sandbox/rw/variadic_templates $ [/CODE] So, I'd like to echo bebop52's plea for help. -Larry
