[SOLVED] How to Use SVN without GNOME Keyring

Well this is a very simple question but I can't seem to find the answer online...

Since the latest SVN update, I can't update my repos without getting the "Password for 'default' GNOME keyring:" prompt in my terminal emulator. I don't use GNOME keyring so is there a way I can tell SVN not to use GNOME keyring? If I must use password encryption, I don't mind using KDE KWallet as I use KWallet for something else already.

Check your ~/.subversion/config. Key "password-stores" in section "auth".

Using kwallet as a password store seems to have broken recently.  Anyone know what's up?

I have the same problem, but I have no "password-stores" in my ~/.subversion/config.

Can someone paste here what should be in that file?

Normally I use KDE and kwallet, like darose.  Something must have broken in my last upgrade.

Got it!  Here's the line I added to my "[auth]"

password-stores = kwallet

Hmmm ....

This was working on my old office laptop, which I had to give back when I changed jobs.  Now I can't seem to get svn+kwallet integration working on my home laptop.

I went into ~/.subversion/config, and set password-stores = kwallet, but svn seems to be ignoring it.

Anyone know any way to fix this?  (Or even debug it?)

darose,

Try checking environment variables (env or set on command line).  There must be some way for command line based svn to learn about X and KDE.  Probably through dbus.

Thanks for the response, Brian.  Any way you could be more specific thought?  I'm not sure what environment variable or command line setting I should be looking for.
