Ubuntu 11.04 Doesn't Accept Keyring Password On First Try

[lexen]

Hey everyone. This is a small problem, but I thought I should bring it up. In ubuntu 10.10, I had this weird problem where after I have logged in and it asks me for my keyring password, it won't accept it. It's a 1 letter password, so I know I am getting it right. I put it in, and it will never work, but it will usually work the second time, though it occasionally waits until the 3rd time. I assumed it would go away when I did a clean install of 11.04, but the problem persists.

Like I said, it's a small problem, but I wanted to know if anyone else was having this problem and if I should file a bug report.


Thanks,
Lexen

Hello,

I am now having the same problem of the Keyring manager not accepting the password. I know I am getting it right (as it is a standard password of mine, and it worked yesterday), so it basically stopped accepting the password I had assigned. Is there a fix to this? Even better, is there a way to turn it off for the storage of wireless passwords? It's just plain annoying signing in, then having to put in a password to connect to my wireless router.

Go to your network manager, hit "edit connections". Go to the wireless tab, select the network you want to un-password-protect, and hit edit on the right. Type in your password and check the box at the bottom "make available for all users." That at least sovles half your problem.

I believe there's a bug where if multiple aps use keyring you get multiple password requests instead of just one.

System settings, passwords and encryption keys. You'll find two or more entries. Delete any that doesn't show Passwords: login. Then reboot.

With your next boot you will get multiple prompts for passwords but they should all build under one heading. After that, your login will be all that is needed.
