So how can this be stoped? It is making my system almost unusable. Searching the Dash for "one" or "cloud" turns up no hits for apps or config options.
Alternatively: How can I turn on/find log info which will pinpoint who is asking for the keyring to be unlocked? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1474182 Title: Mystery keyring password prompts pop up for no reason Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: A prompt box periodically pops up for no apparent reason asking me for my default keyring password. If I click Cancel, it re-appears again after a few minutes. There is absolutely no information about what program is asking or why. Is this a phishing scam?!? I'm marking this as "security vulnerability" because the "mystery" prompt is asking for extremely sensitive information which users should not give out without knowing what program will use it. * My homedir is not encrypted * I do use automatic login, but it succeeded and everything works, including network. * My system has slept/resumed a few times (don't know if that's relevant) * I use a wired Ethernet connection, not WiFi (so no password is needed for network access). * I am not running any commands that I know of which use encryption or require access to my private keys. Since I am not doing anything which actually requires my private key, something is asking to unlock the keyring wrongly; Or else a background process (or trojan) is trying to communicate with somebody behind my back, using my private keys. This seems to be new (REGRESSION) as of 15.04, it did not occur before upgrading. The programs I *am* running are: * Firefox * Thunderbird (I typed in it's Master Password previously, and it is working fine) * Terminals * A Java based web app (Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation) /var/log/auth.log contains the following: <username>: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/home/<username>] [COMMAND=/usr/lib/update-notifier/package-system-locked] bus acquired: org.gnome.keyring.SystemPrompter Gcr: registering prompter bus acquired: org.gnome.keyring.PrivatePrompter Gcr: received BeginPrompting call from callback /org/gnome/keyring/Prompt/p22@:1.259 Gcr: preparing a prompt for callback /org/gnome/keyring/Prompt/p22@:1.259 Gcr: creating new GcrPromptDialog prompt Gcr: automatically selecting secret exchange protocol Gcr: generating public key Gcr: beginning the secret exchange: [sx-aes-1]\npublic=RnT9opj6kZDvJpr8QyIBH4DE/xn3wid1Di7mdEuIgT/GCBA1mLB3VdsldoT6WMdJeD15xlSIvvmAiLLR59dffthvV+cifN3K1WoJhFdBDSiBLmkI4wfGXEnQTmJn7iZfyGWsIVqL5cSgG3AEMGKgY4ORzBARp8TLqjnfnoJB3YSh/gNFVs5OT5pCATNeaDN1mx9LzOCuCSwVDXIIY6uV8sjhBpBvQQCNNEV960L2pZYvGsBYMKeriKxvZAJfiO04\n Gcr: calling the PromptReady method on /org/gnome/keyring/Prompt/p22@:1.259 acquired name: org.gnome.keyring.SystemPrompter acquired name: org.gnome.keyring.PrivatePrompter Gcr: returned from the PromptReady method on /org/gnome/keyring/Prompt/p22@:1.259 Gcr: received PerformPrompt call from callback /org/gnome/keyring/Prompt/p22@:1.259 Gcr: receiving secret exchange: [sx-aes-1]\npublic=RL9s/tyPJRw80JDQNBGC+0uQxXfk1uAvJH9XoAULcI4ys/b/Rfz9QNvujXVlhp02Yot7S7K6l5KLBc3i6Ry9SPECjeDm6Y5E4Ry43OmOKjBf7JBUcUvrzfUvwJ87YZ0fYCW8j9nDgrBxt1utCOUDJDHVVANdIK8CMIEXnffiKYjsPq8yjueenqdnM+G8VUoBke8U1Bmc0IHs8elTBBWnoeLQdpnLcpn7k245vO5V4w8Gl3ZZtYrw7t6xxZstRAXR\n Gcr: deriving shared transport key Gcr: deriving transport key Gcr: starting password prompt for callback /org/gnome/keyring/Prompt/p22@:1.259 Gtk: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent.
