'Enter password for keyring 'Default keyring' to unlock

[mitchellcairns]

Getting this almost every time I come out of sleep mode on my laptop (closing the laptop)

any ideas?

Something like that has been discussed a few times on the the subreddit. Have you switched user accounts or changed your user password at some point without updating the keyring?

[jherskow]

I'm having this problem too.

i changed the password from the default chrx when i first installed gallium os. i dont know how to change the keyring, and i can't turn the password back to chrx, because the min password length is 5 chars.

[reynhout]

You can use change your password without the length restriction with:

sudo passwd USERNAME

Web searches for "gnome keyring lost password" say:

• You should be able to use your old password in the gnome keyring auth
• Once unlocked, you can change your gnome keyring password
• If that fails, you can delete your existing keyring with:

killall -9 gnome-keyring-daemon
rm -fr ~/.gnome2/keyrings/

This is a generic Ubuntu/Gnome problem, not something specific to GalliumOS, so if that doesn't help, you should try similar searches, and let us know what resolves it for you. Thanks!

Just an FYI, every time I've seen the keyring box pop up, it's after I've open Google Chrome.

I get this box after I open Google Chrome... When I put in the correct password it accepts it, but an orange triangle appears near my name in the top right of the browser.

@jdferron @ahmadaamer6 It happens here too on a GalliumOS 2 on a baytrail, also when I open Google Chrome. Not a really big problem just a bit strange. :)

[ahmadaamer6]

@sorryusernameisalreadytaken Not a big issue. I can live with it.

[jdferron]

@ahmadaamer6 I just want it to stop. I do not use the built-in password manager in Chrome.

[ahmadaamer6]

@sorryusernameisalreadytaken @jdferron Go to Session and Startup app, Advanced, and turn on Launch GNOME Services on Startup. Then the popup will be gone. This is an issue with XFCE not GalliumOS. This should fix it. My last method to fixing it does not work. This does...

[Bellsprout]

here is the fix that worked for me
rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring

basically deleting seems to reset it, once deleted you will be prompted for a new password.

PLEASEhelp, I'M SO confused. OK, so I am seeing the "Enter Password for keyring 'Default' to unlock".. The thing is:

1. I don't recall every seeing ANYTHING ever about any keyring; in particular, i have no recollection of ever setting any deault keyring password
2. I use xfce on debian -- so is this the "gnome keyring" that people seem to be discussing here?
3. Is it relevant that yesterday, I totally borked my installation by stupidly just saying "Y" to a "sudo apt-get autoremove". To recover i had to use the apt-get logs to install everything back, and even then I had to reinstall xfce4.

If there is no way to find out or use a default password is it possible to see what keys are stored in the keyring? THat is, what i will lose by deleting it?

thanks

[reynhout]

@ssbbpp You won't lose anything, just go ahead and wipe it.

This is only a problem with Chrome/ium, as far as I can tell. I never see it, but I run Firefox. I keep hoping someone who runs Chrome/ium will find it annoying enough to fix it. :)

[ssbbpp]

I was veryspooked by yesterday's 4+hour encounter with "apt-get autoremove", so that made me nervous, but i get it now. Thanks for that reassurance. Just for the record, it seems that skype on debian also just assumes that you're a .gnomer with a keyring. I had to reinstall skype too after the crash and as a result plow through a certain number of requests from the keyring.

Just set up GalliumOS 2.0 through chrx, and I'm just commenting to say thanks @ahmadaamer6 - the Session and Startup app solution worked like a charm.
