Ubuntu :: How To Permanently Disable Gnome-keyring-daemon
Dec 29, 2010
How to permanently disable the gnome-keyring-daemon.
I've seen posts where there was a work around to store passwords in clear text. That's not a real solution. I've seen posts where killing the process and removing ~/.gnome2/keyrings is a temporary solution until next time you log in or reboot machine. Removing the package, will force removal of the whole kitchen sink. That's too intrusive.
There must be a way to stop this thing from starting up, ever.
I tried commenting out the entries in the /etc/pam.d/* files that refer to "pam_gnome_keyring.so", and have also unchecked the 3 keyring related entries under System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications, which are affiliated with these 3 files:
But I still get this one process once I log into the console window:
There must be one more file somewhere that says, "hey when someone logs in and starts up gdm, start the gnome keyring daemon".

I'm running an up-to-date installation of Lucid, and have come upon a little problem. It seems that applications are having trouble communicating with gnome-keyring-daemon.
When I connect to wireless networks -- even ones that are in the network manager -- it always asks me for a password.
Gwibber is crashing because it can't connect to the gnome keyring daemon.
And when I open the Passwords and Encryption Keys utility (on the Accessories menu), I get the error: "Couldn't communicate with key ring daemon."
I have verified that the daemon is starting up when I log in, that all of the appropriate keyring-related login items (certificate and key storage, secret service, & SSH key agent) are in place, and that the keyring works in other accounts on my machine. I have tried deleting my extant keyrings, but that has produced any success. And when I kill and restart the keyring daemon once I'm already logged in, the problem seems to abate.
I don't know if it matters, but for OS X compatibility purposes, I'm running as a UID under 1000.

Since I've upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 my gnome-keyring-daemon isn't working on login. It is running - ps ax shows:
4927 ? SLl 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize
but it doesn't seem to be accessible. Seahorse says: "Couldn't communicate with key ring daemon", and I never get asked to unlock my keyring on login (thus saved wireless keys are not available, for example). If I kill the gnome-keyring-daemon process and run it again from the command line, everything works. There are not messages in /var/log/messages from the keyring daemon, so i don't know what it is doing wrong.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 configured to login with Kerberos (as in [url]). Everything works fine, except gnome-keyring-daemon:
-If I login with a local user, gnome-keyring-daemon works right. Besides, the keyring is automatically unlocked with the login password.
-If I login with a Kerberos user:
- The session startup is considerably slower.
- /var/log/auth.log says something like:
Code:
- If I execute a program that needs the gnome-keyring (like Evolution), is desperately slow, and it says:
Code:
Message: secret service operation failed: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
- If I kill all gnome-keyring-daemon (killall gnome-keyring-daemon), start a new one (gnome-keyring-daemon), and restart the application that uses the gnome-keyring, it works fine, but it ask me for the password to unlock the keyring (I think that this is the normal behaviour if gnome-keyring-daemon did not start before).
I have seen the configurations in /etc/pam.d and everything looks fine (with pam_gnome_keyring.so). Indeed, I think that if something was wrong here, the local user would not have the keyring unlocked automatically.

So I just installed Ubuntu on my second laptop, however I ran into a problem. The F9 key is going crazy. I'm not exactly sure what is causing it (I've already popped off and cleaned the keys) but if I could find a way to just disable it I'd be very happy.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 on Lenovo Thinkpad, and I have tree pointing devices:
- touchpad
- trackpoint
- mouse, that is connected only when I am home, so for around 50% of time.
I have downloaded a package "Pointing Devices" and tried to disable a touchpad, which annoys me. Sometimes new settings works, but each time I connect/disconnect mouse, the default settings (everything on) restores. It's even worse, because right now the touchpad works and annoys me, while it's written that it's disabled in "Pointing devices", so either the package is outdated, or it's a BUG.
How to permanently disable a touchpad?

I've tried all three options here to permanently disable the fn key (so that when I press F1 it'll bring up help and when I press fn+F1, it'll dim the screen, etc.).
These methods work upon reboot, but once the computer is put to sleep (i.e. I close my lid), the settings are reverted back to default and I must use fn+ for everything again.
How can I keep the fn key disabled?
And on another note, why use gksudo instead of just sudo?

My Mom's computer doesn't have a password set to login to the OS, since there isn't one set. I get a keyring asking for a password, since I didn't use one to enter the OS. I have to click close twice, to make it disappear. I don't have this problem on my laptop, because I enter a password to enter the OS. How do I disable the keyring from showing up every time.

I don't use wireless on my desktop so i would like it permanently disabled...each time i boot up it's back and receving up to 80mb of data from an unknown connection via wireless (i dont use wireless) so, to avoid any weird connections to my neighboors house or some kid hacking the neighborhood driving by with a wireless router in his truck i'd like to permanently turn off wireless. this is kind of funny because i had a hard time getting wireless to work on my laptop, but this is my desktop where i do not want it. i looked it up and your forum back in 2007 said to type in iwconfig in the shell then get the nickname of the wireless card then to black list the wireless card. i did this but it didn't work, so what do i do now? i have ubuntu 9.10

In the desktop effects configuration screen, "Enable desktop effects" is checked, however the checkbox is grayed out and I can't uncheck it. All I can do is "Suspend desktop effects", but they get reenabled after every login. How do I disable them permanently?

Whenever I boot up my computer, Ubuntu (10.4) brings me to my desktop, then immediately displays a prompt to enter my login keyring. After some searching on the forums, it appears that this is because I set my laptop to auto-login. Am I missing something here, but what does auto-login have to do the the keyring? Why do I even need to enter that password? I understand that many Ubuntu users are picky about security, but why isn't their any option to disable this? It's almost as bad as UAC from Vista, which is one of the reasons I'm dual-booting Ubuntu in the first place. This is an annoying "problem" that has been bugging me since I first installed Ubuntu - how can I change it?

I have to always log into my keyring. Unlock Login Keyring comes up when bring up the computer. The unlock login Keyring does not get unlocked when I log in. How can I get the login process to fully log on when I am not around? When I run vista (windows) I never have to login to a keyring to give a password to get passed the Internet process. I have to always do this with Ubuntu 10.04.

I came across the following method of how to permanently disabling selinux and it's notifications. Although changing enforcement from the gui into permissive mode does most of the job, the notifications still pop-up when some applications are started.
So to disable it do the following:
open terminal as root and execute:
Quote:
And then change the SELINUX line to SELINUX=disabled
Quote:
This is it. Now reboot the system and selinux will never bother you again.
If you are not a Fedora user and you are using this forum just because we are cooler here then you will not find the /etc/selinux/config as in the fedora releases. What you need to do is to edit the kernel boot line and add selinux=0 at the end:

Reboot the system

Now i want to disable my ssh server "permanently",which means it won't run unless i start it after i login.that is,it is disabled at boot time by default.
i have asked a similar question before,but i still have some confusions.
Say that now the ssh server is running.my system is ubuntu 10.04. code...
The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future.
the shell gives me a warning:do not match LSB Default-Start values,this API is not stable and ...
what does this mean? still it can't disable the server "permanently",ethier.
what on earth should i do to solve this?

What's the best way to permanently disable the package kit update applet in fedora 12. i really dislike my bandwidth being robbed unnecessarily from the other computers running fedora on the network.
System->Preferences->System->Software Updates is not working as it is supposed to.
What is the role of PackageKit? Do i really need it?

I was wondering if there is a way to disable or modify the keyring because I am getting the prompts every time I try to remote administer the box using vnc client on another machine. I just want to be able to remotely login to the box without having the keyring prompt pop out. I don't know if this is possible as I set the box to automatically log in.

I have compiled the proprietary nvidia drivers for 11.3. When I boot, even using the nomodeset boot option, the nouveau module still loads, causing gdm/X to fail. I am able to manually remove the modules with rmmod and restart gdm. Everything then works normally. I have added the line "blacklist nouveau" to both 50-blacklist.conf and 99-local.conf in /etc/modprobe.d

I wana know the difference between PAM and GNOME-KEYRING.
I have googled both of them and I found that they both are for authenticating users. and then some tutorials say that I can use gnome-keyring with PAM support!
So what is the difference and if there is no difference how then can I use gnome-keyring with PAM?
