on every login since upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 , I now have to enter my login password again after logging in to open the keyring. (Trying to change the password causes this bug report error.)

Who decided not to update gnome-settings-daemon with the rest of gnome?

[Tom Jaeger (thjaeger)]

The new interface was introduced in 9b12bfdd245867f928651bc5414cba67a3f84169, but it doesn't revert -- not even close. I think going back to 3.4.1 makes the most sense at this point, since it doesn't look like bug #1008840 is getting addressed for quantal.

Upstream has release 3.6.1 with a fix for this.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

right, it's uploaded already: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/119960612/seahorse_3.6.1-0ubuntu1_source.changes

I can't see seahorse-3.6.1 neither in proposed nor in updates. When will this be pushed out?

Thanks

@Սահակ (petrosyan): I think the table at the top shows that the Gnome folks fixed it, but Ubuntu folks are still working to package it for Ubuntu Quantal as a Low Priority task ;-)

[Angel Mass (angelmass)]

I am experiencing the same issue... It's just very annoying.

[Սահակ (petrosyan)]

It is also very strange that even Ubuntu 12.10 proposed updates repository does not have the new packages yet. I wonder what is taking them so long.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Hello ange, or anyone else affected,

Accepted seahorse into quantal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/3.6.2-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

[Nicolay Doytchev (lightrush)]

Works as expected.

[Damien Wendlinger (d-wendlinger)]

installing the new seahorse package + reboot + unlocking keyring gives the ability to change keyring password.
At next reboot, no prompt for unlocking keyring anymore.
Everything is ok for me
Thanks !

[angelique (ange)]

Thank you vorlon!

[Sadi Yumuşak (sa-yu)]

[Սահակ (petrosyan)]
