unable to resolve host

[ClientAlive]

Try changing the password from System > Preferences > About Me

Tried that and through users and groups again. (1) If I enter in the old password in the current password field (for the About Me route) and click "Validate" it tells me "The Password Was Incorrect." I enter the new password and it accepts it. I enter the same one into the new password fields below and click "Change Password" and it tells me "The Old and New Passwords are the same." If I go the Users and Groups route the result is similar.

It recognizes the new password and doesn't give me any problems logging in and using the machine - just that the window keeps popping up telling me it's not the same as the keyring one. When I look at the password in the keyring it is actually the same. I don't get it.

There are two things that come to mind though (1) Perhaps it is not the item: "uname@host" but some other item? OR (2) Something I noticed. In the window for "Passwords and Encryption Keys" there are two columns. The first is "Name" the second is "Key ID". In that key ID field the item "uname@host" is number 8 but if I count the number of items in total I see there are 7 and not 8. Also, if I trace the numbers in the "Key ID" field (1, 2, 3, 4, etc, etc) I see that there is no item 7.

Do you think either of those things has any merit?

I'm not sure what is causing it.

You could try manually changing the keyring password:

Awesome! That worked (at the link). I went with the first route by changing the password. I didn't want to mess with that other thing of deleting the file. Works though.

Thanks Charles.

Glad to help.

Change "oldhost" to "newhost" and it should work fine.

This works fine on Ubuntu 12.04. I don't know why others are still complaining. Please make sure all that you are using the correct version of ubuntu and haven't messed it up enough from the default installation.
