something else that is driving me (further) insane: On the Thinkpad I now have *two* keyring popups, one, presumably gnomish, that wants my user password when I start the network, and the other, genuine TDE, that pops up when I start KMail. It, too, wants my user password but not my mail password. After entering these, all proceeds as hoped.
I'd like to make them go away. I have searched the machine for any kind og keyring configuration file for either of these things, and have come up empty. The TDE Wallet Service version says "The application 'kmail' had requested to open the wallet 'kdewallet.' Please enter the password for this wallet below."
Anyone know how I can make these things stop? I don't have anything running that I don't have running on the desktop machine, where I do not get the popups. -- dep
Yes, I remember this one well. Don't know why it happens in the Debian/Devuan setup, but not in (K)ubuntu. Annoying as hell, when it's not something you wanted, don't remember downloading it, etc.
It's been awhile since I dealt with this one, though; but as I recall, just uninstall gnome-keyring. There's also another, gnome-keyring-pkcs11 and also network-manager-gnome, but I believe that these others don't get installed almost by default, as it were.
You might be tempted to purge your system of everything Gnomish (and I only wish I could), but it seems that some Gnome dependencies are used on practically all systems. I did try weeding out everything Gnomish, and it's like stepping in quicksand.
Start by purging those packages, one-at-a-time, and see the issue disappears.
