[Bug 744929] Re: After auto-login, prompted to unlock keyring multiple times

 

Adam, funny you should ask, but the fix has just now been released to
natty-updates.

We wait 7 days after the fix is accepted into -proposed before moving to
-updates, to catch obvious major regressions. So, at least 7 days in
-proposed, + verification-done == release.

Title:
  After auto-login, prompted to unlock keyring multiple times

Status in GNOME keyring services:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-keyring” source package in Natty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

  TEST CASE:

  Start with a clean session and:
   1. Mark it as autologin in gdmsetup
   2. Add a WPA wireless network
   3. Configure a jabber account in Empathy
   4. Add empathy to the startup applications list
   5. Log out, log back in
   6. Verify keyring unlock question is asked twice
   7. Install updated gnome-keyring from proposed
   8. Repeat steps 5
   9. Verify keyring unlock question is only asked once.

  I have auto-login set up on my laptop.  When the desktop loads, it
  prompts me to unlock the keychain.  I enter my password, and another
  prompt appears, identical to the first.  In total, 4 prompts appear
  each time I turn on my laptop.

  The key thing is this: I only have to enter my password once.  If I
  enter my correctly password on the first prompt, the keychain is
  unlocked and I can press "Cancel" (or hit escape) on all further
  prompts and the laptop works as expected.  If I do not enter my
  password on the first prompt and hit "Cancel" on all 4 prompts, then
  the keychain is not unlocked and eventually I get prompted again.

  So it seems like multiple requests are being made to gnome-keyring
  when the keyring is locked, and gnome-keyring puts up a prompt for
  each of these requests, rather than waiting to see what happened after
  the first prompt was dealt with.

  This is seemingly related to the experience of some of the commenters
  on bug #637702, but it was suggested in the comments on that bug that
  new bugs should be filed with specific details.  I would be happy to
  provide further information and/or help debug this.
