Re: LACK OF REPONSE TO REQUESTS FOR HELP WHY?

Nate,

Thanks for your response. I ended up dealing with the problem by
switching to wicd, but the incident has helped me learn some things
about keyrings. I think my real problem was the one where you flounder
around to the point of desperation looking for a quick fix, instead of
taking the trouble to first get an understanding of the context, in
this case the basic functions of keyrings, before attempting to fix a
specific problem.

Regards,

Tom Arnall

I am running Sid (Unstable) on my laptop and I have several such
~/.cache/keyring-* directories.  One of them shows:

$ ls -l ~/.cache/keyring-6imVnR/
total 0
srwxr-xr-x 1 nate nate 0 Jul  7  2012 control=
srwxr-xr-x 1 nate nate 0 Jul  7  2012 gpg=
srwxr-xr-x 1 nate nate 0 Jul  7  2012 pkcs11=
srwxr-xr-x 1 nate nate 0 Jul  7  2012 ssh=

Are the permissions on your files the same?  Is it possible that you
initially logged into the desktop as root and then used NM to connect to
a network?  Perhaps just removing that directory (although that specific
directory name may be stored by nm-applet *somewhere* so just removing
the directory might not help) might help.

The "files" are actually sockets so the leading 's' is apparently
required.

Oh dear. :-(  What on earth leads you to this conclusion?  There is no 
evidence to support it at all.

Presumably no-one knew the answer.  You wouldn't want 2000 "Sorry, don't 
know"s would you?  The rest of us certainly woyuldn't. 

There may have been one or two people who could have answered and didn't, but 
no-one is under any kind of obligation to answer.  And they may have had 
toothache, or a rush on at work, or been getting married or have had a 
bereavement or.

So perhaps the list is too.

If it were my box I'd fix that gnome-keyring error first, since if I
remember correctly, that's where your wifi password gets stored (which
nm-applet uses) Try this:

and see if that helps you.

LACK OF REPONSE TO REQUESTS FOR HELP WHY?

2014-12-20 Thread tom arnall
about a week ago i posted a question to which no one has responded. i
think it's a reasonable question for this list. clearly folks on this
list don't think it's worthwhile to respond to it. can anyone here at
least tell me why?  below is the email is sent to this list:

i have by the way spent about ten hours googling for an answer. the
community seems very confused on the issue.


==
I installed wheezy a week ago (with the installer which includes
xfce), and nm-applet was working fine. But today it won't start and
gives the message:

WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to:
/home/tom/.cache/keyring-4LJPFc/pkcs11: No such file or directory
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area

(nm-applet:3589): Gdk-WARNING **: nm-applet: Fatal IO error 11
(Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.


Is there a command line procedure to deal with this?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Tom Arnall
