[rant]NetworkManager and Keyring!

[Thetargos]

I've had it! What the heck is the deal with Network Manager to be tied to the keyring, keyring which in a fresh install has no freaking password!!, and yet, the authentication kept rejecting the only password I could possible think of, my login password. Is there some kind of a default password for the keyring? What the heck is the deal with this?? I finally manage to get wireless going on my laptop and now I can't use it because of this? Give me a freaking break!

I've been struggling with the wireless NIC on this machine for two days straight, now that I get it to work, I can't connect because of this nonsense! I need to override this password and set a new one, but HOW? I installed gnome-keyring-manager and ran it both as a user and root (root's not running the deamon, though, so no deposit is shown, that leaves my user to be freaking locked out!

Any pointers are very welcomed!

Edit

A mod please move this to Software, I swear I pressed the Software link, but maybe Firefox or system's redraw caused the pinch to go to the Hardware forum.

By the way, apparently all I had to do was remove .gnome2/keyrings/*, and restart the session :rolleyes:

If you have gnome-keyring-manager installed, you can view and edit or delete individual keys in your Gnome keyring..... useful when you have a large number of keys in your keyring but want to delete only one or two errant keys from the keyring.

I deleted mine but it still does it on startup.

I'd fire that manager in the first place. It does a poor job in handling connections. I'll manage the connections myself

@Nokia:

How can I "fire" gnome-keyring-manager? Since I use KDE, it seems rather pointless, and I'm sure it's doing things I don't want it to.... I don't know what process is spawning it.

Thanx,

I know of a hidden/previously undocumented command in yum su -
yum plsremove-all *-manager

Worked flawlessly on my machines, and the added benefit is that I can now ssh to those machines passwordless but in perfectly secured telneted environment ;)

Just don't forget to unplug the mouse first, to avoid...interferences ?
