Bug Description

My Ubuntu 12.04 install suddenly started to display following message: "the login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer" after each time I boot my computer or log in and prompting me to type in my password.

It did not do this until a few days ago. I only had to login once with my password at the login screen and never had to unlock any keyrings. I have not changed any account configurations or passwords, I never had automatic login enabled where you would expect such behavior, the issue seemed to come out of nowhere.

Yes I am getting similar behaviour. It only started yesterday. I will suddenly get the same message as above after I have been logged into my PC for about 20mins or so. It just comes out of nowhere. I don't use a password or keyring etc to login. But this message pops up out of nowhere after a short time.

For me, I have to encounter a keyring every time I boot up my computer. I have no idea for what.
