There have been a number of post here about the annoying "keyring" messages from various desktop environments. For those of us who use other password vaults, such as KeepassX, such messages are truly annoying.
I was getting them on Debian testing, even though I was using Fluxbox. not the Gnome default DE (I got this computer from ThinkPenguin with Debian installed).
In an attempt to make the keyring nagware go away, I issued the following series of commands:
Code:
$ ps -A | grep keyring
21352 ? 00:00:00 gnome-keyring-d
$ killall gnome-keyring-d
$ ps -A | grep keyring
$ locate gnome-keyring-d
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon
/usr/share/man/man1/gnome-keyring-daemon.1.gz
$ su
Password
# cd /usr/bin
# ls -l gnome-keyring*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 15 2018 gnome-keyring -> gnome-keyring-3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18648 May 15 2018 gnome-keyring-3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1094560 May 15 2018 gnome-keyring-daemon
# chmod -x gnome-keyring-3
# chmod -x gnome-keyring-daemon
# ls -l gnome-keyring*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 15 2018 gnome-keyring -> gnome-keyring-3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18648 May 15 2018 gnome-keyring-3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1094560 May 15 2018 gnome-keyring-daemon
After a reboot, the keyring nagware is not running.
