hi thanks for replying. i actually forgot to mention, i'm running lenny and the version of libpam-gnome-keyring is the same in sid 2.20.2-1. i downloaded and installed that one anyway - no change. libpam-modules is the same version in lenny as in sid.
i also noticed that /etc/pam.d/gdm is provided by gdm. did you perhaps mean for me to upgrade gdm from sid? this has caused some other conflicts dependency issues - but not nearly what i expected so i'm running with it anyway, and i'll post how it goes. thanks Takis On Wed, 2007-12-19 at 00:19 +0000, Sam Morris wrote: > On Wed, 19 Dec 2007 11:08:23 +1100, Takis Diakoumis wrote: > > > Hi > > > > a recent upgrade of evolution deps (evolution-data-server, libcamel, > > libebook, libecal, libedata-book etc) has resulted in evolution asking > > to unlock the gnome keyring. thats fine, but annoying so i dug around > > for a way to have this done automatically on login. > > > > i found that installing libpam-gnome-keyring does this. following > > instructions from numerous sites and the readme.debian file i tried the > > following appended to the end of /etc/pam.d/gdm > > > > --- > > auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so session optional > > pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start > > > > that didn;t work and actually didn't let me log in at all - it would > > just keep going back to the user name field in gdm --- > > > > --- > > auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass session optional > > pam_keyring.so > > > > that did nothing. > > --- > > > > @include common-pamkeyring > > > > this resulted in a dialog that would not close as if stuck in an > > authentication loop - image of the gdm screen with this is here: > > http://executequery.org/temp/images/gnome-keyring-gdm-error.png > > > > any suggestions on how to get this to work would be appreciated. > > > > thanks > > Takis > > pam 2.20.2-1 (currently in unstable) includes PAM configuration for using > pam_gnome_keyring.so.
