For some time now, my daughter's been having a problem with her WPA key:
NM asks for it every time she logs on. I seem to have figured out why,
more or less. Let me say that she's using LXDE under F10 on an Eee 901.
When trying to debug something else, I reset her password to what it
originally was when I set up her account, and suddenly everything
worked. I changed it to something else, and it didn't work; changed it
back, and then it did again. So I ran Settings>Passwords, etc, or
whatever it is, and there was a button that said something like "Reset
keyring password". Unfortunately, clicking that button just got me an
error message, something like "Unable to reset keyring password". Very
helpful.
Any ideas?
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I tend to use the
"seahorse" package to manage GPG keys, gnome-keyring, etc. To
install:
su -c 'yum install seahorse'
Then run it from the menu, using Applications > Accessories >
Passwords and Encryption Keys.
Choose Edit > Preferences, and select the Password Keyrings tab if not
already selected.
Select the "login" keyring, and you can reset the passphrase for that
keyring. That's the keyring that gnome-keyring uses by default to
store things like NetworkManager secrets and so forth.
