Thank you Lionel. From a user's perspective, it seems to be related to the keyring problem because it has arisen simultaneously and is characterised by an unwanted request for a password.
The link you've provided is a little worrying because I was the only person logged into my computer when this happened. In other words, as far as I was aware, I was the only person logged in. The problem has not repeated in the short time since I reported it. It is however a bug, dutifuly reported! Do you happen to know what it's related to if not xfce4-power-manager or gnome keyring? These were the processes that were running when the power manager asked me to give up my gnome keyring. It's not yet inconvenienced me enough to make me look on the forums for a workaround. But it is most worrying as a potential security issue. Is this bug (please see in relation to bug #575877) a security issue? My machine just asked for my password to unlock the keyring again. I have presumed this is an error, since it is new, eratic, without sense or reason, and full of foreboding. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1193595 Title: gnome-keyring problem effects power manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1193595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
