In the last days, I was working in Beholder and faced the need to store SSH and Telnet passwords. I don’t even hesitated, one name came to my mind: Gnome Keyring. It’s easy, it’s secure and have Python binding, what was missing?! Know how to use it. Before we start bending, I’d like to discuss a little about how some applications store your passwords.
In the last post I've shown how to create keyrings using python and mentioned a slightly difference from the "seahorse password storing process". Well, it happens that, when we start to dig this difference isn't so small. Using seahorse every keyring item is created with the "Update if Exists" flag as False, so you can create identical keyring items.
Since libgnome-keyring was added to makedepends, chromium is built with support to gnome-keyring. But that doesn't mean it will use gnome keyring by default.I have seahorse, gnome-keyring, installed. This happened in my computer at work, but it works at my home computer.
So I have a problem with the gnome keyring as my passwords don't get saved.Digging into the issue, I've found that gnome-keyring-daemon cannot connect to the control socket, but I don't understand why is it so.If I try to start it manually I get:shamael ~ $ gnome-keyring-daemon --start -f --components=secrets,ssh,pkcs11,gpg
** Message: couldn't connect to control socket at: /
Hi everyone,
I'm having troubles with the gnome-keyring software. At startup, this command is run:
Code:
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=ssh
So I should be asked for my passphrase only once when I connect to another computer, but it is not the case.
Can anyone who has used and understands Gnome-keyring please tell me how it works before I install it?
I've got one program that always says it wont save any passwords because Gnome-keyring is not installed or is not accessible.
But I am a little weary because the LIMITED info on the net says that it might also store SSH passwords and I really don't want to do that.
So one question is, do
I've installed mutt + offlineimap, with the help of brisbin's mutt config.However, I don't like putting passwords in plaintext, so I've set up my .offlineimaprc to read from gnome-keyring, using this Python script.This works well if I run "offlineimap -o -u quiet" at the command-line manually.
I'm using Xubuntu, since GNOME and Unity are too heavy for my netbook.
I want to disable 'gnome-keyring' prompts.
I tried sudo apt-get remove gnome-keyring which results:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gnome-keyring oneconf python-ubuntu-sso-client software-center
ubuntu-sso-client ubuntu-sso-client-gtk xubuntu-desktop
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
and of cour
When gnome-shell crashes on Linux Mint 12 it usually comes up again within a couple seconds. When it doesn't, it seems that it takes the keyring daemon with it, because after restarting with
while true; do DISPLAY=:0 gnome-shell --replace; done &
it asks for the key passphrase every time I run commands like git pull.
