Chromium keyring problem

[agmg]

I installed Chromium to use it as my second browser (first is Firefox) in Phinx 2011.08 but I have a problem with the passwords. It seems that Chromium can't store my passwords in the keyring. I get this message:



I enter my password but this message keeps popping up. If I press Cancel, I can work with Chromium but I have to reenter my passwords the next time I start the program. How can I make Chromium remember my passwords?

to use the larger browsers and their capabilities ... you would need to have installed Phoenix as your base ... Phinx is a very stripped down install and is designed to use only the Native browser of Midori ... as previously explained to you ... Phinx is a Pure desktop ... and using none Xfce Native apps will cause issues ... which you are now experiencing ...

Again i would advise if you wish to run Any and All apps please install and use Phoenix ...

It is some kind of Chromium bug when this browser is used with the XFCE desktop. The odd thing is Chromium is built with gnome keyring disabled in the specfile. XFCE might be starting keyring in its startup programs. I can't check it at the moment because I'm in the middle of an upload so will look at it later today.

it does ... Phoenix has it running by default Phinx has it turned off ... as it is not a required in Midori ... as you do not have a password manager or stored secure data ... it can be turned on through Xfce Settings Manager >>> Session & Startup >>> Application Autostart ...

Is this any use?

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/chrome-dev-channel-adds-gnome-keyring-support-for-saving-passwords/

The Google Chrome dev channel (as well as the Chromium daily builds) recently gained preliminary support for storing user passwords in the native system keyring rather than, as currently, the built-in unencrypted password store.

Whilst the feature is switched off by default you can enable it easily using one of the following switches below, either by appending them to the the chrome command in a terminal session or by editing the application launcher itself.

    –password-store=gnome
    –password-store=kwallet
    –password-store=detect

Upon launching Chrome/ium using the switch, passwords will be saved natively, allowing for encryption, and existing passwords already saved in Chrome/ium will be migrated over.

It is worth bearing in mind that this feature is switched off for a reason and does requires the latest development version of Chrome/ium.

I like to punish myself This is the only way to learn new things. If everything worked perfectly, then I wouldn't have learned anything so far

I did some experiments: I installed gnome-keyring-manager and I checked "run gnome services at startup". Also, I deleted all the keyrings under .gnome2/keyrings. Seems to be working.

I tried Midori, is a very good browser. But it looks very ugly with fonts in greek, especially on facebook...
