[SOLVED] How Do I Disable Keyring for Remote Access?

fortyseven · 2012-06-25 08:02:52

I spent the weekend setting up a headless media server using Statler. I configured the vnc server to run automatically at startup so that I can log in remotely if I have to.

A problem is that whenever I try to log in remotely for the first time, the server requires a keyring password which I can't enter remotely, only locally. How to I disable that stupid keyring thing?

I tried a search on "disable keyring login" in ixquick and got a bunch of possible hits, this one among them:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … ng-361545/

also try the search here on the forum:

(I don't know an easy answer, sorry)

Is it the Gnome keyring and you have no use for it?

Just remove it from your system:

apt-get purge gnome-keyring

and then delete it from:

~/.gnome2/keyrings/

Thanks, Ivan.

Initially I didn't realize it was called gnome-keyring so I was having trouble finding it. However, I eventually figured it out last night, deleted the ~/.gnome2/keyrings folder and now it works without the stupid password.

Problem solved.
