Binary package hint: evolution
Hello
I use automatic connection option on gdm.
This is usefull as the computer is used by an association, so the user's don't have to type any password, and I don't have to switch to another user to make administrative tasks (I'm the only one to know the password).
But since the most recent update of evolution, this program asks a password to unlock the default keyring.
This password is also the administrator password (I know I can change this default keyring password, but I don't want to do so).
Is there a solution to come back to the former situation ?

Hello
I use automatic login option on gdm.
This is usefull as the computer is used by an association, so the user's don't have to type any password, and I don't have to switch to another user to make administrative tasks (I'm the only one to know the password).

WORKAROUND
* Go to System/Preferences/Encryption and Keyrings;
* select the "Password Keyrings" tab;
* select the "default" entry, and click on "Change Unlock Password";
* type in your current password on the "Old Password" field and LEAVE the "Password" and "confirm Password" fields BLANK;
* click on OK.
You now should be able to auto-login and no password request will be show for the keyring.
NEXT STEP
This is not an Evolution bug. Evolution now uses the Gnome-keyring to store email account passwords, and it is the Gnome-keyring that is asking for a password. A case might be made for having the Gnome-Keyring automatically unlocked on auto-login. If you wish to pursue this route please open a bug for it (package: gdm).

@oss_test_launchpad: this bug is about auto-login and gnome-keyring asking for passwords.
Your case, and Lee Revell's, is about *no* auto-login, and still gnome-keyring asking for password.
This is not the same bug. Please open a new one. We will not work on yours here (one bug per report, one report per bug). |
