xfce4 and key management [SOLVED]

graysky · 2011-08-12 16:11:43

I switched over to xfce4 as my main DE now and am experiencing a few quirks. I'm using a few gnome packages including some oddities with ssh key management. Can someone offer an explaination why I can't have my key's password remembered upon logging in? Under gnome, this option was available but under xfce4 it is grey-ed out.

Solution is here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … fter_login

In /etc/pam.d/slim (or your corresponding daemon in /etc/pam.d), add these lines at the end of the "auth" and "session" blocks if they do not exist already:

 auth            optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so
 session         optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so  auto_start

In /etc/pam.d/passwd, use this line for the 'password' block:

 password    optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so

Also make sure that gnome-keyring is installed and that "Launch GNOME services on startup" is ticked if using xfce4.
