[Bug 219738] Re: gnome-keyring export support not implemented

 

For what it's worth, if the password on a keyring is set to the empty
string---something you can do with seahorse---the keyring will be stored
on disk as a plain-text file. The INI-style format leaves a lot to be
desired, but at least it's a way to do export and import with gnome-
keyring. Other password tools could easily add support for this.

Title:
  gnome-keyring export support not implemented

Status in Seahorse:
  Fix Released
Status in “seahorse” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: seahorse

  I get this error in the "passwords" tab when right-clicking on one of
  my wireless network passwords, selecting "Export Public Key...", and
  clicking "Save." The title of the error window in this case is
  "Couldn't export key."

  I also get this error when right-clicking one of my wireless network
  passwords and selecting "Copy Public Key." The title of the error
  window in this case is "Couldn't retrieve data from the key server."

  I don't know why seahorse is trying to retrieve my wireless network
  password from a key server.

  Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy beta with latest updates as of submission (4/19/08)
