[Bug 876105] Re: Remote Desktop Viewer (vinagre) does not remember passwords

 

Sigh indeed Michael :) .. what you described is case #4 in my initial
report.. Vinagre remembers passwords while it is still open, as soon as
it's closed, all passwords are forgotten. (mind you, I haven't tried
this with multiple hosts to see if only the last used password is
remembered..?)

Title:
  Remote Desktop Viewer (vinagre) does not remember passwords

Status in “vinagre” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using Vinagre in Ubuntu 11.10 AMD64, and have found that it does
  not remember passwords (when told to via the "Remember this
  credential" checkbox), except when a connection has been established,
  disconnected, then the Remote -> Recent Connections menu is used
  (without closing Vinagre; after being closed it will not remember the
  password).

  Give this a go: (#4 is the only combination that works for remembering
  passwords)

  1. Connect to site -> enter password -> check "Remember this
  credential" -> connect. Bookmark site. Close and restart vinagre.
  Bookmarks -> bookmarked site. Password not remembered.

  2. Start vinagre. Bookmarks menu -> last site. Password not
  remembered.

  3. Start vinagre. Remote menu -> Recent Connections -> last site.
  Password not remembered.

  4. Connect to site -> enter password -> check "Remember this
  credential" -> connect. Click disconnect. Remote menu -> Recent
  Connections -> last site. *Password REMEMBERED*.  (this is the only
  case where I've got Vinagre to remember the password)

  This wasn't a problem in Ubuntu 11.04.
