how to remove password prompt keyring autologin

This is a common complaint: I wish eliminate the password prompt blessed at the beginning ... I enabled autologin for it,! Of course, many, like me, prefer have enabled auto-login but insists Network Manager to request a password to open the keyring and that this, in turn, opens the password used by wireless connection. Let us examine some possible solutions ...

The recommended alternative
1. Remove the password from the keyring us (Thus making us in far more Linux vulnerable). This is the worst of all alternatives and, unfortunately, the most extensive many forums and blogs. I do not recommend in any circumstances, but worth mentioning.

2. Using the same password for your login and keyring.

a. Install libpam: sudo apt-get install libpam-gnome-keyring

b. If you start GDM automatically (without log), edit / etc / pam.d / gdm-autologin. If You begin to need a GDM login, edit / etc / pam.d / gdm.

c. At the end of the file add the following:

auth optional try_first_pass pam_keyring.so optional session pam_keyring.so

3. Remove the Network Manager and connect to the Internet using the terminal. A This alternative would replace the decline in Network Manager with other network operators, like Wicd.

4. Activate the connection to all users. So, we prevent passwords Network Manager prompt when trying to connect to that network.

5. Turn off wifi after reboot. This might be a good alternative if you want to disable the wifi directly at startup. Remember that to enable you must right-click> Enable Network Manager wireless. After doing this, you will be able to connect to your wireless network without problem.


The best alternative (in my view)
1. Applications>> System>> Preferences>> Network Connections or right-click the Network applet Manager on the status bar GNOME> Edit Connections.

2. select the tab of your wireless network usually connect>> Edit.



3. Disable Auto Connect.

Request a password to come in early because the system will try to connect to wireless networks to be connected automatically marked. By disabling this option, You will avoid the constant calls for without keyring password "tweaking" your or reduce your system security.

The only drawback of this method is that to connect to this network you must do it manually. This however, no major complications: click on Network Manager and select the network you want to connect. It's easy!
