Yes!  That did the trick.  Thank you very much.

I'm sorry. I was too superficial.

You might try to add the -J-Dnetbeans.keyring.no.native=true besides the 
-J-Dnetbeans.keyring.no.master=true that might help.

I don’t want to try to fix gnome keyring.  I’m not running a gnome desktop 
anyway.

I can’t see any reason why Netbeans needs to use keyring.  In fact, as I 
mentioned, it works if I simply cancel the dialog, which I think proves that 
this is a bug, not a feature.  The problem is that the dialog keeps popping up 
and I have to cancel it a half dozen times for each git operation.

I’m getting a really annoying prompt from Netbeans when I try to use Git with a 
remote repository:

“Enter password to unlock your login keyring”

The problem is I’m not using a login keyring.  For some reason (probably 
because I’m not using Gnome) the keyring is not working, and I don’t really 
need it, so I’d rather not try to debug it.  I don’t need it and don’t want it. 
 I don’t want NetBeans to store any passwords in any form – I’m happy to type 
in whatever is needed when it is needed.

If I cancel the prompt, which comes up about 6 times, I can proceed and connect 
to the git server normally using ssh and my stored ssh key, which I unlock with 
its passcode.  So I know NetBeans does not actually need this login keyring in 
order to proceed – it’s supposed to be a convenience to me – but I DON’T WANT 
IT.  Sigh.

How can I disable this prompt in NetBeans?  I saw some old threads which 
indicated I could set -J-Dnetbeans.keyring.no.master=true in netbeans.conf, but 
this does not seem to have any effect.
