Well, if you forget your user password, and you use root to override it, then that will necessarily cause them to go out of sync. Normally when changing your user password, it prompts for your old password, so that it can use it to decrypt the login keyring, so that it can be re-encrypted with the new password after. But if you are root, you don't have to enter the old password, thus the login keyring cannot be decrypted, thus it cannot be re-encrypted, thus the passwords become out of sync. I don't believe this is a solvable problem, so don't forget your login password ;-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRSGjNAAoJEMnVpoCaWglEF/0P/RJML4MHvgBI2zL3bRypi/Ac Rm0xFLaomwnjPwvGj9hisYXCaqpfYY70HntjQXUY7ICDryOlS+n0A4N1r1WuWSIu 9RjEfZlKeW3DTxyyFRUXnqC0LXLVTI+vDafBEUkwmcoCutVntZyJ0N6qm1qnfnRT Y9W+Xpj1CIXiRNfa0z8VdA3PUPQpBy+9ygom2TF2WEaHn7PGdRB3DdCKOvBy3gks RRp7gtYca4K0WFWIPeQ72iGGopiU97A24+Zb68SwDvKPVQQCnHZXxoSchb1Ia9hU 8ltHJ1jA6xQSiYfch0oboEAVN2WcjQW6jrnoKDSZ9nlD0nSf1WT8fAvkd+5BIkoQ sT4gGdGjC5AFKLHcHx2o2FJCAdsa3ZQHV24etdzgavEIYVy+lBBFHe0gqFWi0Dp1 6I+fibKk1CfZ5Mftp5lEJbGK0MxjkVkR05v4CYpBrCz98oISB9z07ZNc0byy9gJ0 yUMBF1BdBVbZfdnAVm/p7Cgz77FzNsW+SgIIK7HCo1kDrI0T5ZJIfjFqGgQHMFzv Hvc3t8QLTmQ3fw8Sxu4nbay6ThA2D9zPCf3IJFyCgxtImZR6JYSh7ziwvJKhC9c1 E1C6JRgDGgMNSRvpwxfEIom8/03uKYCkQqpn5OC0ZYHh14y7esGx/8tDObJAFrrm WZl/ASqAA8epk9S5dpr1 =LCL5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
