help with ubuntu keychain error

Post Reply New Topic

Hello, I installed Ubuntu 11.x on my netbook. It ran great for a few days but the constant request for my password whenever it went into stand by got to be annoying so I turned off the ask for password option in my user advanced settings.

Now, the keychain which holds my wpa password for the wireless in the apartment requests a password constantly from me, every few minutes, but my password doesn't work.

I tried changing it back, to requesting my password upon login and rebooting the machine but it the error persists.

you have the pw on a usb drive from the sounds of it. my guess need to have the pw on the netbook not a removeable drive. The time limit on the get new lease for the wirelesss may be set too low most of the time it's each 24 hours not every few mins. As to why the pw does not work sounds like time to power down and reset the wireless.

Hello!

It's good to have some helpful people on here who use Ubuntu.

I'm not a big fan of the Unity desktop, which is way too slow, so I went with Lubuntu. It runs GREAT for me off a 16GB SD card - 14GB formatted ext2, and 2GB swap. It amazes me how well it detected everything.

Why the SD card? I didn't want to mix Linux and Windows on the same drive. As for big files (music and videos), I DO store THOSE on the Windows HD, so I can access them under both OSes. It's also cool to show to people how you can have a completely different OS on an SD card.

My only issue is with having to run Windows first, if I want my Gobi CDMA card in the netbook to work in Ubuntu. I think someone figured out how to transfer the drivers into Ubuntu, but it was for an older version (9.04, I think), and it was just too much for me.

Ubuntu makes Linux as easy to use as Windows. The problem is it that became almost as slow and as cumbersome as Windows in the process.

Have A Great Day!
