Bug#522493: Re: Fwd: Re: doesn't remember passwords

[Romain]

I had the same problem before.

I installed a Debian Squeeze from scratch (no OS before) using *the french
langage.*

And installed gnome-keyring : dpkg -l |grep keyring

ii  debian-archive-keyring               2010.08.28
  GnuPG archive keys of the Debian archive
ii  debian-keyring                       2010.12.29
  GnuPG keys of Debian Developers
ii  gnome-keyring                        2.30.3-5
  GNOME keyring services (daemon and tools)
ii  libgnome-keyring0                    2.30.1-1
  GNOME keyring services library
ii  libpam-gnome-keyring                 2.30.3-5
  PAM module to unlock the GNOME keyring upon login

By default the gnome-keyring did not save my password.

When I checked in the log, I had the following error

$ tail -f  cat /var/log/auth.log

Mar 21 22:35:44 debian gnome-keyring-daemon[1869]: couldn't set environment
variable in session: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by
any .service files

Then I installed seahorse, but it didn't work with my default keyring.

I found the solution when I looked in :

$ ls ~/.gnome2/keyrings/
default  par_défaut.keyring

$ cat ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default
par_défaut

The default keyring had a UTF-8 charset : par_d*é*faut

I rename 'par_défaut' into 'par_defaut' and now it works well.

$ mv
~/.gnome2/keyrings/par_défaut.keyring ~/.gnome2/keyrings/par_defaut.keyring
$ echo "par_defaut" > ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default


I hope it will help.

Cheers

Romain
