[SOLVED] How do I disable Password for Unlocking Default Keyring in MX-15?

beachboy2 · 01-01-2016, 09:39 AM

As per the title.

Naturally, I have set user and root passwords.

It is only a minor irritation in MX-15, arising because I set a password for the Default Keyring.

There are plenty of suggestions for doing this in Ubuntu, such as this:

Any suggestions?

i do not think that it is ubuntu-specific.
so, have you tried this? how did it go, exactly?

ondoho,

Thanks for trying to help.

That particular link refers to certain Ubuntu distros using Dash and seahorse, neither of which are relevant to MX-15.

CORRECTION:

seahorse is relevant (see post #9).

I have looked at the Users Manual and Settings, all to no avail.

Damfino!

NGIB,

Done it earlier.

Fingers crossed.

NGIB,

Here it is:

That is the Antix forum, mostly the same folks but you'll likely get a faster answer on the MX specific forum (the link I posted)...

ondoho,

You were correct, seahorse was relevant after all!

I had not come across seahorse previously and it was not installed in MX-15.

I installed it and then ran the

Code:

seahorse

command in Terminal to access the GUI, right clicked on Default Keyring and selected Change Password.

It may not be recommended but I left it blank.

Now I have no annoying Default Keyring box and my wifi connects automatically after startup.

If anybody else wishes to know more about seahorse:

Thanks once again.

NGIB,

Thanks for the link to the MX forum.

Thanks to a combination of ondoho and the help on the antiX forum, I have solved my Default Keyring problem.

I will mark this as SOLVED.
