** Summary changed: - Evolution asks my pasword to unlock the default keyring since last update + Automatic login -- password is still asked to access Gnome keyring (Evolution, and others, affected)
** Description changed: Binary package hint: evolution Hello - I use automatic connection option on gdm. + I use automatic login option on gdm. This is usefull as the computer is used by an association, so the user's don't have to type any password, and I don't have to switch to another user to make administrative tasks (I'm the only one to know the password). But since the most recent update of evolution, this program asks a password to unlock the default keyring. This password is also the administrator password (I know I can change this default keyring password, but I don't want to do so). Is there a solution to come back to the former situation ? - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: i386 - Date: Sat May 31 12:22:34 2008 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 - ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evolution - Package: evolution 2.22.1.1-0ubuntu3 - PackageArchitecture: i386 - ProcEnviron: - PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games - LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: evolution - Uname: Linux 2.6.24-17-generic i686 + WORKAROUND + + * Go to System/Preferences/Encryption and Keyrings; + * select the "Password Keyrings" tab; + * select the "default" entry, and click on "Change Unlock Password"; + * type in your current password on the "Old Password" field and LEAVE the "Password" and "confirm Password" fields BLANK; + * click on OK. + + You now should be able to auto-login and no password request will be + show for the keyring. + + NEXT STEP + + This is not an Evolution bug.
