Can anyone, please, tell me how can i solve a small little problem:
Every time i start opensuse 11.2 i get a window asking me to input the keyring password… this started to happen after i installed Pidgin.
how can i stop the keyring from asking me the password everytime??? how can i even get to this “keyring”???
Thanks
(new user = lots of questions!!!)
In KDE it’s in ‘configure desktop’ - you can just delete the key once you’ve found the keyring manager thing, and it won’t bother you again.
Not sure about gnome.
Ok… i’m in KDE as well.
After i get to the configure desktop what should i do???
Is it in the Login Manager???
i don’t see anything about Keyring… 
It’s in configure desktop -> advanced -> kwallet.
Not sure if it’ll work for pidgin, but it’s worth a shot.
it didn’t work!!!
I’ve searched everywhere and i can’t find anything that solves the problem… i’ve also been reading the hornetster’s post about the same thing (where you also tried to help).
Can someone else give us a hand?!?!
Anyway, Confuseling, thanks for trying to help, man!!! This is really getting on my nerves (even thinking about getting a shotgun… lolol)!!!
heeeelllllllllllllppppppppppppp 
The answer is out there, and it does appear to have something to do with the kwallet. Unfortunately, the user in question has ignored (so far) my request to post how he did it (unless I’m misreading his post, and he just means he prevented it from autostarting…) Maybe you’ll have more luck…
The same thing bothered me for about ten minutes, then I simply switched to Kopete, which works as good as pidgin.
Not exactly… Kopete doesn’t have IRC support AFAIK
and that’s keeping me on pidgin
Aaahhh, Hello?
Help is still wanted here!!!
Help!!!:’(
Hi
First google hit;
kde4+disable+kwallet
Disabling annoying kwallet in KDE4:
System Settings >> Choose Advance
Then choose kwallet and uncheck “Enable kwallet system” and also in
access control uncheck “prompt kwallet”
Done!

Nice shoot, but it didn’t work at all!!!:’(
I disabled both options (as you said), restarted the computer, started pidgin… and there it was - that %$&%$ very (VERY!) annoying thing again :’(
Any other idea?
Thanks for you help anyway :’(
Hi
Is it sitting in the .kde4 Autostart directory? I’m assuming there is
also something else down in the bowels of that directory related to
it… (I’m a gnome user 
)
Will need to fire up a vmware machine.

Hi
the .kde4 Autostart what?!?! (i’m relatively new in Linux!)
if you’re asking if pidgin is starting automatically with the OS, i must say it is not ATM. But putting it on autostart was the idea!
This only comes up when i start pidgin! :’(
thanks
Open a terminal, and run
ls ~/.kde4/Autostart -R
What’s the output?
~ = your home directory
.kde4 = your kde4 settings directory (hidden, hence the dot)
Autostart = a directory full of scripts and things run upon start of KDE4.
-R = contents of subdirectories too
sorry!!! My connection went off >:( and after almost 1h waiting for this piece of garbage to reconnect >:(, i decide it was time to go to bed (4a.m.)
i didn’t get any out put beside: /home/speccy/.kde4/Autostart:
:’(
any other idea?
Thanks
Sorry if you were waiting… but it really wasn’t my fault 
Hi
What about in ~/.kde4/share/apps is there a kwallet directory, if so
any thing there? If there is, try;
mv ~/.kde4/share/apps/kwallet mv ~/backup_kwallet
That command will mv the directory to your home directory.
You probably need to logout/login.

Hi again,
well it said “backup_kwallet” was not a folder. So i went and created one whit that name!
Now it says:
mv: Impossible to analize «/home/speccy/.kde4/share/apps/kwallet»: No such file or directory
mv: Impossible to analize «mv»: No such file or directory
Please note that i translated some words (i’m portuguese!)
Thanks
malcolmlewis?!?!?!
Anyone???
Will i have to learn to live with this???
Help!:shame:
Hi
Just looked, in the command I had an extra mv just delete that
directory you created and run;
mv ~/.kde4/share/apps/kwallet ~/backup_kwallet
Just tried pidgin here on KDE4, if you ensure everything is deleted
in kwallet under the Access Control tab from system settings. Then
start pidgin and save your password it will ask to create a
keyring (which lives in ~/.gnome2/keyrings) then in your pidgin
account, add the password and save.
After this it doesn’t use kwallet and it won’t ask for a password
again. I think pidgin just needs to create the gnome2 files.
