How do I disable (preferably remove) the gnome keyring manager? CLI approach please. apt-get remove is a no go, since remove the gnome-keyring package removes
apturl fast-user-switch-applet gdebi gdm gksu gnome-app-install gnome-keyring gnome-netstatus-applet gparted hwtest-gtk software-properties-gtk ubufox ubuntu-desktop update-manager update-notifier
of which most i don't use, but i don't know how removing gdm would effect my system.

I can't speak to turning off gnome-keyring-daemon completely, but I was able to disable it for SSH via gconf-editor. Run gconf-editor and navigate to /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components. You'll see checkboxes for both SSH and PKCS11 that you can unset.

Thank you. Unfortunately it didn't work :/.Originally Posted by HalPomeranz

"Didn't work" in what sense? It might help if you gave a bit more info about what aspects/functionality of the gnome-keyring were getting in your way.
Like you, I'd love to get rid of this application completely, but as of this point all I've been able to figure out is how to disable the functionality that makes it most annoying to me.

Ah, sorry.. The gnome-keyring-ask app is still launched when i use ssh with RSA. What did work, though, is to kill the daemon. However, i suspect I'll have to do this every time the system is rebooted (?) - don't know where it is started from.

Weird, the gconf-editor hack totally worked for me as far as disabling the annoying gnome-keyring-ask popups. Did you log out and log back in again after changing the setting with gconf-editor? You'd have to do that to get the keyring daemon process to restart...
You're right that you'll have to kill the keyring daemon every time you reboot the machine-- in fact, you'll have to kill it every time you log out and log back into your windowing environment. This doesn't seem like a long-term plan to me.
