When i start chromium browser, A prompt pops up showing “Enter password to unlock keyring” . Is there any way to disable it?
Hi @spidermonkey,
a Quick bit of searching led me to https://askubuntu.com/questions/31786/chrome-asks-for-password-to-unlock-keyring-on-startup
Where it states:
From the manpage:
--password-store=<basic|gnome|kwallet>
Set the password store to use. The default is to automatically detect based on the desktop environment.
basic
selects the built in, unencrypted password store.gnome
selects Gnome keyring.kwallet
selects (KDE) KWallet. (Note that KWallet may not work reliably outside KDE.)The easiest way to fix that in the launcher is to copy the
.desktop
file to your home folder and edit it (google chrome users should copy the appropriate file):cp /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
Then edit the new file such that the
Exec
line reads like this:Exec=chromium-browser --password-store=basic %U
If you have any other Chromium app installed, their
.desktop
files should also be in~/.local/share/applications
, edit them accordingly.
Hope this helps!
