You can manage your keyrings via Seahorse; including deleting, locking, unlocking, changing the password, etc... The unlocking and password changes happen automatically if PAM is correctly installed and configured. > I'm running Evolution 3.6.2 on a Mint 14 XFCE 4 system. > Mine keeps forgetting to open the keyring, luckily I know the password, > it's the same as my login password. That is configured in PAM. Something like: session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start only_if=gdm,gdm-password,lxdm,lightdm So your login password unlocks the keyring when you login; as only the PAM stack actually has the password you entered. If it doesn't work it is mostly likely that your distribution or packagers screwed this up. I recall having this issue awhile ago, so maybe there was some issue with packages around the 3.4.x vintage. But I don't recall it [on openSUSE at least] on 3.6.x, and my 3.8.x installs do not have this problem. This is really not an Evolution problem, it just uses the keyring in the state that it finds it [available/unavailable, locked/unlocked]. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:[email protected]> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
