[Solved] NetworkManager asks for "default Keyring" password...

Hi there,

when I try to connect to the Wireless Network at my girlfriend's place, I have to set up the network connection myself, as it uses a WEP encyption. After entering the horribly long passphrase, I'm asked to enter another password. The box popping up sais:
"Network Manager wants to access the deafault keyring, but it is locked".

Being new to Linux in general I don't even know what that keyring is, where I can find/set it's password or what to enter. I found a solution for gnome desktops but I'm running xfce4 on a x86_64 architecture. Connecting at my place or at the university is no problem and I'm not asked to enter the password.

Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Removing ~/.gnome* should help.

Thank you. It worked just fine, I now was able to set the password by myself. I hope the connection will not provide any more issues.

Re: [Solved] NetworkManager asks for "default Keyring" password...

I was able to disable the annoying 'feature' whereby the Gnome Keyring keeps asking for a password at login by editing /etc/pam.d/login in addition to the other edits suggested to /etc/pam.d/gdm (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Net … Kit_issues). I also deleted ~/.gnome2/keyrings. This is especially useful since I don't use gdm to login, rather loggin straight from the shell. YMMV if you use kde or another DE.
