Unable to get Gnome-Keyring working with nm-applet

Hi guys
I've installed openbox and using NetworkManager/nm-applet to manage my network connections.
I prefer it over other utils as it has good support for mobile connections etc.
I'm using qingy as my login manager.
I have added the following to /etc/pam.d/qingy
auth optional /lib/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so
session optional /lib/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
and the following to /etc/pam.d/passwd
password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
as per the network manager wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Net … fter_login
I have the following in my session login script:
nm-applet --sm-disable &
I think if I remember correctly, the Gnome keyring dialog popped up once or twice in the beginning, but now it never happens. nm applet now always requests my WPA key upon login.
My intention is to have the key stored in gnome-keyring so that I don't have to enter it every time I log in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi dieghen89
Nice to know I'm not the only one pulling out hair over here
I was playing around and did the following:
1. Exit nm-applet completely
2. $ gnome-keyring-daemon --start //I know that the daemon is running. --help states that it starts or initialize an already running daemon
3. Run nm-applet again
And the keyring dialog actually did pop up asking for the password to unlock it.
Now I thought a quick-fix would be to add gnome-keyring-daemon --start to my startup script before nmapplet &
But alas. doesn't work

  • I am unable to get Thunderbird to work with my exchange email account

    I have tried a heap of different configurations including using ExQuilla with no success. I will provide the insrtuctions I received for accessing my account using outlook.
    I hope you can help, as I find Thunderbird a great platform, and really don't want to go back to Outlook.
    *Note – the instruction at step 5 is fairly important. It is easy to miss it and hit “check name”. Don’t – It’ll piss you off no end.
    Let me know how you go.
    Using Outlook via the Internet
    If you are using Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2003, you can connect to the computer running Windows® Small Business Server through the Internet using the feature called RPC over HTTP. This means you can remotely access your server e-mail account from the Internet when you are working outside your organization's firewall. You do not need security-related hardware or software (such as smart cards or security tokens), and you do not have to establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection to the server.
    Comparing RPC over HTTP and Outlook Web Access
    When using RPC over HTTP to access your mailbox, you get the full functionality of Outlook 2003. For example, you can work offline, use Microsoft Office Word 2003 as your e-mail editor, and easily organize your mailbox.
    To use Outlook via the Internet
    Ensure that the following requirements have been met on the client computer:
    Verify that the computer is running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later
    • Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
    The version of the operating system and service pack is displayed under System. If you do not see a service pack version, there is no service pack installed.
    Verify that Windows update Q331320 is installed on the computer (not required if you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later)
    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then open Add or Remove Programs.
    2. Under Currently installed programs, search for the item Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q331320.
    3. If the item is not present, go to the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=18651) and follow the instructions to download and install it.
    Verify that the computer is running Outlook 2003 or later
    1. Open Outlook.
    2. Click the Help menu, and then click About Microsoft Office Outlook. The version number appears at the top of the box.
    Verify that the computer trusts the certificate used by the server
    1. Open Internet Explorer, and then in the address bar type:
    https://vpn.alaea.asn.au/remote
    • If the certificate is trusted, a certificate warning does not appear. In this case, continue with step 1 under Ensure that you have an Outlook profile configured for the server.
    • If the certificate is not trusted, a warning appears. Click View Certificate, click Install Certificate, and then follow the instructions.
    Ensure that you have an Outlook profile configured for the server
    1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    • If you are viewing Control Panel in the default Category view, switch to Classic view, and then double-click Mail.
    • If you are viewing Control Panel in Classic view, double-click Mail.
    2. In the Mail Setup dialog box, click Show Profiles. If your profile appears in the list, select your profile, click Properties, click E-mail Accounts, select View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next. If your profile does not appear, open Outlook and follow the instructions to create a profile before proceeding.
    • If Microsoft Exchange Server does not appear in the list, the existing profile is not associated with a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account. Click Cancel, and then click Close. Continue with step 3 to add a profile.
    • If there is an existing Microsoft Exchange Server profile, continue with step 3 under Configure the computer for RPC over HTTP.
    3. Click Add. The New Profile dialog box appears.
    4. In the Profile Name box, type a name for the new profile, and then click OK. The E-mail Accounts dialog box appears.
    5. Under E-mail, select Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next. The Server Type dialog box appears.
    6. Click Microsoft Exchange Server, and then click Next.
    7. Continue with step 4 under Configure the computer for RPC over HTTP.

    10. In the Principal name for proxy server box, type the following text:
    msstd:vpn.alaea.asn.au
    11. Select On slow networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP.
    12. Under Proxy authentication settings, select Basic Authentication.
    13. Click OK, and then click OK again. Click Next, and then click Finish. Click Close.
    14. In the Mail dialog box, if Always use this profile is selected, choose the newly configured profile.
    15. Open Outlook and type your Windows Small Business Server user name (in the format ALAEA\user name) and password. You can now work with your Outlook mailbox.

    Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
    "Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
    Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
    With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
    I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

    all speakers make a noise when they are shown during the test correctly.
    In the wiki, I tried some examples on the configuration of ~/.asoundrc as described, but none of them worked - everything I specify there is effectles, even after reboot.
    What I've tried so far in ~/.asoundrc (without success):
    pcm.dsp {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmix"
    pcm.upmix51 {
    type upmix
    slave.pcm "surround51"

    So what am I doing wrong?

    Hello there!

    ThinkPad Console Audio Control at EC reg 0x30, fw 7VHT12WW-1.01
    But this doesn't solve all my problems.
    I'm still searching for a way of how to use the internal intel sound card as default PCM device if the USB sound is unplugged or not available during boot.
    Any ideas?

  • Anyone get GNOME Shell working in Virtualbox yet?

    The latest version of Virtualbox came out today and it's supposed to have 3D support for GNOME 3 now and I've heard of some people on other distros getting GNOME Shell working, but I'm not having any such luck. I did a fresh install of Arch tonight, just in case, but I still get fallback mode (after upgrading Virtualbox and enabling 3D support, guest additions, etc). This is the error I'm getting:
    [root@sandbox ~]# gnome-shell --replace
    failed to create drawable
    (gnome-shell:1242): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to select the newly created GLX context
    Window manager error: Unable to initialize Clutter.
    It's the same error that someone was getting here a few weeks ago: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=928760
    However, with the Virtualbox upgrade, it's *supposed* to be running now, so I have no idea... So has anyone got this to work yet?

    Enjoy!
    Somehow, it fails to work for me, don't know why! I just did a fresh install of Arch on a VM inside VirtualBox. Then installed Gnome by pacman -Sf gnome (yeah, conflicts. Had to force!) But, it dropped to fallback mode! Now, how do I get the 3d support?

  • Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

    I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
    I have sticky keys enabled.
    When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
    The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
    When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
    If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
    Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
    Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
    Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
    Dictation On and Off
    To use Dictation, click On.
    When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
    Shortcut
    By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
    To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

    I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

  • PLEASE HELP ME??? Lost itunes trying to downgrade back from 11.0 & unable to get itunes to work at all now..

    New Itunes setup is the worst one yet!!! I couldn't stand it, so I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling older versions, but now I am unable to get it to work in any version. I have uninstalled & reinstalled several times (trying this with multiple versions). Strange thing is that ever since I uninstalled 11.0 I have not been able to get any of the other versions to open at all.. Sometimes an error message box dings & pops up that says something about how to adjust the volume through your itunes, or unable to open file.. other times when I click on the icon it just does absolutely nothing. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME??? I'm going crazy without my music & I am panicking because I am afraid I may have lost all music (I have thousands & thousands of songs on there).. I'm hoping to find a way to reinstall an older version, but at this point if I can't find a way to bring back the old version, I'll take 11.0 if I absolutely have to (meaning if it's the only way to retrieve itunes without losing my entire library)

    Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

  • Unable to get Phone Dialer working

    Hello everyone,
    I have setup a brand new client. And I am unable to get the dialer working correctly.
    I have followed the directions here: Re: The Top10 most frequently asked questions and answers (FAQ) January 2009
    - Telephony service is started
    - Windows XP Phone and Modem settings correctly configured
    - Phone Dialer does work and does show the progress of the "manual" test call
    - Phone Dialer is running and minimized
    - SAP/b1 General Settings/Service is setup with an area code.. nothing needed for an outside line
    When I pull up a Business Partner and hover over a phone number, I hit CTRL+TAB and nothing happens... the next field is just highlighted and no dialing occurs.
    Any thoughts as to what I'm missing to get this working correctly?
    All input is welcome.
    Thanks!
    ~ terry o.

    Finally got this working. Please setup your dialer using these directions;
    - Telephony service is started
    - Windows Phone and Modem settings correctly configured with any required settings like area code or country
    - Run Phone Dialer (dialer.exe) and confirm it does work and does show the progress of a "manual" test call
    - Change SAP/b1 General Settings/"Service" is setup with an area code.. and outside line requirements
    Open SAP/b1 and hover your cursor over a phone number. When the "phone" icon is displayed, press "CTRL + double-click".
    The dialer should open and you should see the progres of your call.
    Good luck!

  • I am unable to get quicktime to work in IE10

    I am unable to get quicktime to work in IE10 each time it just redirects me to the quicktime download, I've uninstalled and reinstalled quicktime, I've done a reset on IE, tried unchecking ActiveX filtering...Any other ideas?

    I'm working my way through Dreamweaver CC Classroom in a Book. The template in the exercise I'm trying to complete has sections that you can edit and those that you cannot. The links involved are to buttons in the non-editable sections. Since they're non-editable, you can't employ Property Inspector to alter content in those sections. I surmise that the through the Assets Panel approach is supposed to give you the capacity to add hyperlinks to those sections. Double clicking the template does not give you access to those non-editable sections. I've tried that along with a number of other circumventing the Assets Panel approaches. I've dug up a verson of the template from an earlier exercise that doesn't have any non-editable sections and the Property Inspector works fine. With some fumbling aboutI 'm sure I could go right to the code as well.
    Ultimately, I don't think I'll have any difficulty with my project working around the Assets Panel. The deal is... it's supposed to work... and it doesn't. And being blown off by support really ticks me off. I'm sure yoou understand.
    Thanks for your time and effort on my behaf. Being a really stubborn son of a *****... I'll probably keep after this until I get an answer... whether I ever need to use the Assets Panel or not.
                                                                Thanks again.

  • Is it possible to get Siri to work with 'old' Car handsfree systems?

    Is it possible to get Siri to work with 'old' Car handsfree systems?
    Unless I'm missing something - Siri doesn't work well with older handsfree car systems - as typically the cars built in system handles the voice control and relays the request to the phone over bluetooth protocols.  I tried initiating siri standalone while connected to the car and it failed.
    I was hoping I might be able to do some sneaky like 'Call Siri' to enter Siri mode but it doesn't seem to work.
    I'm guessing future Car handsfree systems will be Siri aware - but making Siri work with older systems (and my car isn't old - it's a 2011 model) would be very useful.
    Has anyone come up with a workaround?  I really don't want to have to buy or use a bluetooth ear piece
    Thanks
    Adam

    I never heard anything on this and so am still unable to use Siri without touching my phone.

    Based on what you've posted, your computer does not have the right tuner.   You need a QAM tuner to record locals from FiOS, or a CableCard tuner to record all local and cable channels from FiOS.
    QAM tuners to record local channels only
    This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
    SiliconDust HDHomeRun (info on a sale)
    CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
    This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
    ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
    Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
    Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed.   That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.

  • I need help with ISIGHT!  I can't get it to work with MSN!

    HI,
    My issue is this... I have AIM/AOL and I am able to see myself on webcam.. however noone else can unless they HAVE a webcam... My first question is- "DO you have to have a WEBCAM on both ends for both people to see you?" Does the person I am chatting with HAVE to have a webcam to see me? If so WHY? They should atleast be able to see ME if I want them to... Also if they are using windows for PC platform... can they use a pc webcam and still connect with me through my isight although I am on a mac?
    My second major ISSUE is.. WHY is the isight only compatible with AOL/AIM? I was told when I bought this it would be compatible with MSN Messenger for windows AND the MAC version... I have both and the isight does not show up on it... CAN ISIGHT be connected to msn messenger for MAC??? PLEASE help me!
    I called APPLE tech support and they couldn't even help me! They told me to call Microsoft! Anyhow- one guy did say he was able to get his ISIGHT working with the MSN messenger for MAC platform.. do you have ANY idea how to do that?? The thing is ALL my freinds are on PC's and have MSN messenger..
    ALSO- someone on mac rumors told me to look for a guy names RALPH! Said you know A LOT about mac and pc compatibility! PLEASE HELP
    Bottom line - I want to use isight with msn so my msn pc friends can share webcam... I also have virtual pc software... is it easier to just get a pc webcam and do it through there? ( i tried that and it didn't work either) i need major TECH SUPPORT!
    THANK YOU

    Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (MSN) does not support webcams at all.
    I have found the best alternative to MSN to be aMSN with macam for the webcam driver (it is a cheap usb webcam). Both are free open source projects. I guess if you use an iSight you will not need macam.
    aMSN can be found here: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
    macam can be found here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
    The speed is substantially faster and it is far more stable than Mercury in my experience.
    The only difficulty is the camera is often shown as being "in use by another application". To counter this I start macam, then plug in the camera (or unplug and plug back in). Then I start aMSN.

    I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161.  Any ideas?

    The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
    Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.
