I have never configured any keyrings. I set up Evolution, and it’s
working, but sometimes Gnome wants me to allow it to access the default
keyring to get the email password. It takes 3 cancel-deny tries to
finally dismiss this dialog box, after which Evolution is working fine.
I see that this is NOT an Evolution thing. Other users report the same
thing in VINO, and on wireless access. The GNOME.org forum seems to
think there is a bug when accessing severs, and has a bug and milestone.
Some other distros have the same problem.
ONE user says that they were able to DELETE the default keyring (which
must have had an unknown default password) and then create a NEW default
keyring with thier own password. This seems to have solved that user’s
problem. HOWEVER there were no instructions on how to do it.
I think someone else was able to just stop the default keyring daemon.
That would work too, although it’s not as elegant. I’m now unable to
find instructions.
I’m somewhat of a newbie. Certainly to openSUSE, although I used Ubuntu
casually for a while. And years ago A/UX, but that experience hardly
applies. So please walk me through this step by step.
Ok, I see the file. It’s apparently not a text file - at any rate I
couldn’t open it to inspect it with gedit.
What do you suggest I do with it to stop the unwanted behavior? I’ve
been planning on making some changes to this box, but want to get the
bad password behavior resolved before I go further.
