How to disable the "unlock your keyring" popup?
I read through all the related answers, but they do not apply to Ubuntu 14.04.
I have no .gnome2 folder and no Passwords and Encryption keys item in the system settings. I tried to crawl through every possible menu, but I could not find out how to do it.
The popup usually pops out when I start Chromium.
Solution 1:
Fire up "User Accounts", set "automatic login" to "off". At startup you will be asked your user/password only once; popups like "unlock keyring" will never pester you again.
Solution 2:
This is for 14.04
- Open the password/keyring manager from settings (or run it directly - seahorse)
- Ensure Menu > View > By Keyring is ticked.
- In the sidebar, under 'passwords' create a new keyring 'Unprotected' (or re-use an existing keyring, e.g. 'Default', but NOT 'Login' because that will make everything unprotected which you probably don't want)
- Right-click the new keyring, and 'set as default'
- Right-click the new keyring and set its password as empty (only needed if you adopted an existing keyring)
- In the 'Login' keyring, delete the network secret for your wifi.
- Go to the network manager and add the network again - its secret should appear in the default keyring, which has no password.
- Set the default keyring back to Login.
