Bug Description

A MAJOR problem with Ubuntu is the endless prompts that GNOME-keyring gives the user if the user creates an account (e.g., buys something, registers to write reviews in USC, etc) in Ubuntu Software Center. Once user creates an account in USC for whatever reason, the user will be CONSTANTLY harrassed with prompts from the GNOME-keyring to login whenever user is using Ubuntu.

This is so annoying! It is so annoying I had to resort to reinstalling the OS to get it to stop. Unfortunately, this means to keep the prompts from reappearing, I am unable to login or create any account in USC. This also means I cannot purchase software from USC because then the prompts will start again.

So that users can buy software in USC , please fix the GNOME-keyring so it doesn't needlessly prompt for password. If the user needs to login for something, it should be a user initiated action. That is the user is going to do something that requires a login, so the user manually logs in. There should be no background stuff happening that causes the keyring to put up a prompt. I do not have UbuntuOne active or anything like that. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for the keyring to be prompting to be unlocked. This is a MAJOR bug.

I've attached a PNG showing what the prompt looks like.

Hi,

this looks like a problem with the keyring, not software-center itself. I reassign for further inspection.

affects: software-center (Ubuntu) → gnome-keyring (Ubuntu)
