I've got a computer i'm trying to VNC to.

The problem is that when the computer starts up/reboots it doesn't "Unlock the system keyring"(I think that's what it said).

When I try and attempt to connect to the computer it asks for the VNC password(as per normal) but fails to connect after that.

The reason is that the Ubuntu computer prompts for the user's password to unlock the system(locally).

What I want is to be able to turn on the computer without having to worry about entering the password. I've had it running fine on 8.04 yet the newer version seems to be annoying :s

The system is set to automatically login on startup too.

I've tried this suggestion:

"delete the keyring folder under /home/XXXX/.gnome2" then setup remote desktop again. But that hasn't worked either. I still have to enter the password to a keyring

any ideas?

TIA

You'll have to use ssh. Vnc only worked for me if I let the other computer go to screen saver. With ssh you don't have to leave the computer in logged on state. Putty might work with W7.

Thanks for the heads up.

It works fine on 8.04, 10.04 however is annoying.

I HAVE however managed to fix it. I had to make the keys "unsecure"
