[SOLVED] Chrome asks for keyring when starting

[Tenderfoot]

My problem was similar to this one, but when using Firefox and connecting to my WiFi home network. I got a Keyring error and No Password I entered would fix it.

I closed Firefox, then open the File Manager to my Home Directory, enabled View/Show Hidden Files, and then navigated to .local/share/keyrings and deleted the two files that were in there called login.keyring and user.keystore.

I then closed down the File Manager and did a normal shutdown and restart of Linux Lite 2 and performed a normal login.  I then selected my WiFi router, entered the password to connect to it and then opened Firefox without error. 

I'm using the LTS version of Linux Lite 2.2, 14.04 on an Acer Aspire One Netbook NAV50.  It ran Ok on 1GB of RAM, but just upgraded it to 2GB and it's running just fine so far.

thera, make sure Chrome is closed first. Then open a terminal and do:

Code: [Select]

rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/*
Now open Chrome, if it asks you for your password, do not enter one choose Continue each time and ignore any warnings.

I have tried these and still no progress.  I still do not understand what a keyring is and I still do not understand why I need a password to use my own computer other than a wifi password which my pc already has been told to remember.  HELP?

Just found out you can also just click on 'Continue' on the 2 boxes that pop up, this is the easier of the 2 methods.

No problem

Thanks for the quick response! Worked wonders! Although I'm worried about letting the keys be viewable by anyone using my laptop, I'm the only one who uses it primarily (the girlfriend uses it once in a blue moon) so it should be fine.

Thanks again for the help!

Open a terminal, do:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install seahorse
Then go to Menu, Settings, Passwords and Keys.

I also think it's annoying. It's a typical XFCE-thing, in Xubuntu there's the same issue.

Hey LL Team, new user here! First, let me say that I love LL! Soooo aesthetically appealing and friendly! Couldn't be happier with 2.0!

So, here's my small problem (more of an annoyance, but enough for me to come to the forums for help).

This doesn't occur every time I start up Chrome, but seems to happen more frequently when I restart or start up my laptop. I access Google Chrome from the Whisker Menu, and while it's booting up, a prompt pops up asking me to unlock the keyring. It won't allow me to use Chrome unless I pop my password into the prompt. Tried searching the internet for a solution to the problem, but so far, can only find solutions involving older (around v10.10) versions of Ubuntu, or entering System>Preferences, which I can not find via the Whisker Menu search.Is there any way for me to stop this from happening?

Thank you to anyone and everyone who can help me solve this issue.
