after the login it requires to unlock the keyring

[Nicolò Chieffo]

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

Immediately after the login, it requires to unlock the keyring because of teleparhy mission control 5.
Since empathy isn't running I don't understand why this is asked.
Also after having inserted the passwords the "set status" menu is clickable, which is not a good idea until the IM software is running

the issue is somewhat a gnome-keyring one and not new but it should at least not ask for password when no im is running

I had it too, but I workarounded it by deleting all accounts from Empathy(I falled back to Pidgin since empathy cannot import Gadu-Gadu contact list). Isn't telepathy framework running even before Empathy? That would explain why it ask password on system start.

I agree, but I'm not sure how we're going to get around this one. All
we do is initialize the EmpathyAccountManager object which asks the
protocols their status. It seems that one of them is then logging in to
see if it's offline?

Can someone who's getting this try disabling a few accounts and see
which protocol is causing the issue?

I did have gajim running, and apperently mission control logs into my jabber accounts, cause gajim displayed another login under my jid.

[Sebastian "Nait" Kacprzak (naicik)]

I'm pretty sure that it happened also when I had only gadu-gadu account added with only one contact.

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

How about to initialize the EmpathyAccountManager only when empathy is started?

[Alessandro Borgogno (alessandro-borgogno)]

I got this both with MSN and Googletalk protocol.

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-session - 0.1.7-0ubuntu1

---------------
indicator-session (0.1.7-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Upstream release 0.1.7
    * Changing the icon so that if you are disconnected it is
      'system-shutdown-panel' and making sure that we see it
      sometimes by not allocating the EmpathyAccountManager isn't
      allocated until status is set. (LP: #432635)
      * Also fixes by happenstance: (LP: #444170 and LP: #437065)
    * Handling the locking of the screensaver so that we ensure
      the screensaver is active before suspending. Also, we
      throttle it to ensure it doesn't start until after suspend.
      (LP: #444391)
    * Asynchronized the menu handling so that it's in the right
      order with async startup. (LP: #440484)
    * String change, "New Session" to "Switch User" (LP: #444494)
  * Removed debian/patches/switch_user_lp-444494.patch

Until you get the fix you can try this:

WIth me, the problem only occurs with ubuntu when I use automated gdm login. I solved it by removing ≃/home/XXXX/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring and restarting empathy, then the default keyring asks for a new pasword I use no password (empty) and then it works, but when I fill in a password , it doesn't works.
But I pressume this is bad for security considerations...
