Re: Gnome keyring password prompt on login

I'll bet on the laptop, you've got a login.keyring and on the desktop,
you've got a default.keyring in ~/.gnome2/keyrings.


  I'll check that.  I do recall that I had some issue a short while back on 
the laptop that it somehow stuffed the keyring it had been using, and either 
wouldn't unlock it or kept complaining that there wasn't a default.  I think 
I manually deleted what was there and created what it was asking for 
(default, I think).


  I'll also play with having the password the same as my login, although I 
think I'd rather it were diff.;  I wasn't worried about having to type the 
password when logging into the laptop, more that I *wasn't* having to on one 
and was on the other.


  Although if I'm going to be habitually typing it straight after I've 
typed my main password, maybe there's not much point.  It's only got wifi 
jobbies in there ATM anyway.

Any ideas why my Fedora 10 desktop login prompts for a GNOME keyring

Is it defaulting (on the laptop) to locking the default keyring with my
a/c password? Is it, in fact, no longer password protected? How can I
tell? (when accessing WiFi passwords)

If you set your login password the same as your keyring password, it 
will act like single sign-on and no longer prompt you for keyring.

I'll bet on the laptop, you've got a login.keyring and on the desktop,
you've got a default.keyring in ~/.gnome2/keyrings.

If that's the case, deleting the default.keyring and letting gnome
create a login.keyring when you login again might be easiest.  I've
not had any problems with gnome-keyring in a while, so I can't recall
if you need to delete the default.keyring while you're logged out of
gnome (i.e. from a console login perhaps).
