Ubuntu asks for password several time when logging in
772
When ever I log into my machine (Lenovo Laptop) Ubuntu (Natty running Unity) ask for the keyring password several times (4-5) why does it do that and how can I make it stop?
That sounds like a problem with the Gnome keyring. I suggest backing up your ~/.gnome2/keyrings directory and then try removing it to see if that helps. Of course, when you reenter your passwords for Evolution or a wireless network, it will ask you to create a password for your newly created keyring (picture shown below). Make sure that password is the same as your login password.
Also, if you connect to a wireless network and you log in automatically, make sure you select "Available to all users" in your wireless settings.
Probably whatever agent is supposed to be handling storing that is not running in your session and it can't remember from one minute to the next, so each time a program needs authentication it prompts you again. Just a guess.
