I can comment that this happens with me as well. My laptop runs lucid (clean install from lucid nightly two days ago and dist-upgrade das per 30 minutes ago). I have set it to log in automatically from reboot, as the above reporters did too.
It creates the default keyring, but then appears unable to access it and provides and error. On restarting Empathy, it acts as if there are no accounts and goes through the 'wizard' again, to the same defective result. -- empathy cannot access gnome-keyring at first run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532446 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
