Why all keyboard input hijacked then? I even see my startup applications come up. If at any time I go to Passwords and Keys (seahorse) and lock the Login keyring, after a while the dialog will come up and programs stop responding to keyboard input. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1123152 Title: Keyring password prompt after login Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubuntuone-client” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After logging into Ubuntu 12.04 (not auto-login), a few seconds later, and before the desktop becomes usable, the "Unlock keyring" prompt appears, with the explanation "An application wants access to the keyring "Default", but it is locked". Screenshot attached. The desktop is not usable until the password is entered, as the dialog grabs keyboard focus. Whilst you can open a terminal, for example, you cannot type into it. I managed to disable this by running Ubuntu One and unticking "Connect automatically when computer starts" and "Allow all notifications to this device" (the latter probably unnecessarily). I am unsure whether this issue is unique to Ubuntu One, a bug in Seahorse, or a failure in Unity login not unlocking the keyring; hence I am logging as Unity at this stage. There seem to be two aspects to this bug: 1. The user does not know why he is being asked for his password, but has no alternative but to provide it, which I would have thought was a security issue. 2. The user is being asked to enter their password twice, which is a UI issue. I have tested also in Ubuntu 12.10 and the problem does not appear; although the 12.10 is a fresh install.
