MrCuriousthis keyring really annoys me22:24
MrCuriousheadless machines should not require a login to bring up network22:24
persiaWhich keyring?22:24
persiaThey don't, but to not do so you need to configure the network, rather than relying on Network Manager22:25
MrCuriousunlock login keyring22:25
MrCuriousthe login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer22:25
MrCuriousand to configure the network not relying on network manager, guessing there is not a nice gui for that22:26
persiaThere's gnome-network-properties, but it doesn't get as much care, no.22:26
persiaRight.  The package is called gnome-network-admin.22:27
MrCuriousinstalling that, see where it takes me :D22:30
persiaIf it doesn't quite do what you want, editing /etc/network/interfaces is likely to do the right thing.22:35
MrCuriousyeah22:35
MrCurioussigh. i think login keyring has it wrong22:45
MrCuriousif the user is auto logged in, should inherit its privs, and keyring acess22:45
persiaNo, it intentionally doesn't.22:46
MrCuriousas asking for a pw after defeating a login pw request makes no sense22:46
persiaThe idea being that autologin shouldn't automatically unencrypt your secrets.22:46
MrCuriousso intensionally allows them to login un challenged, but block them for touch ing teh net?22:46
persiaNo.  Network access works *unless* there is a password.22:46
MrCuriousis it possible to uninstall this keyring, so all apps can go back to the pre-keyring behavior?22:47
persiapre-keyring is ~ 200722:47
MrCuriousi am ok with that22:47
persiaSure, but Ubuntu wasn't compiling ARM back then.22:47
MrCuriousindeed22:47
persiaI suppose you could take the source of an old release, port to ARM, etc. ...22:47
MrCuriouswhat a PITA if you want to have a wireless networked system with the option to plug in a head22:48
MrCuriousi think there is a usability issue here that has not been addressed, or i am the only crazy person who wants their computer to connect to wifi before they login22:49
persiaNo, lots of folks want that: the common use case is $HOME-on-nfs22:49
MrCuriousthat cant be. i MUST have configured something wrong this install, as i THOUGHT it was auto logging in and connecting to teh network at one time22:49
MrCuriousshouldnt the wifi WPA2 setup be somewhat easier to find/enable then?22:50
persiaYeah, well.  Talk to the GNOME folk who decided this was the right model.22:51
persiaBut keep in mind the counter-argument: just because someone happens to pick up your laptop, you don't want them to have all your passwords.22:53
MrCuriousor the argument that wifi password does not belong on the keyring22:55
MrCuriousi am suddenly wishing for a debian dist22:55
MrCuriousperhaps this is the answer i seek22:57

stgraberMrCurious: it's possible to have a system-wide setting in NetworkManager. It's ini-format files in /etc/NetworkManager/. Not sure if that still works with NetworkManager 0.9 but it definitely worked with 0.8 (used for a few customers who needed network for login)22:58
persiaDebian's Network Manager behaves the same.23:00
persiastgraber, Does that correspond with "make available to all users"?23:01
stgraberpersia: I think so. IIRC that feature would convert your network definition from gconf+gnome-keyring into the .conf file in /etc/NetworkManager23:01
persiaThat feature is still present in 0.9, although I'm not sure of the mechanism.23:02
