I am using Ubuntu Feisty. Steps to reproduce: Hm - first - I think it is no bug, just a missing feature or something the developers forgot - or didn't want to implement. OK.
Using a Computer with WLAN ability, , with a fresh user without previour gnome-keyring-manager use, just connect with network-manager to any wireless network you know the password. Then NetworkManager asks you for the password, and if you enter it, it connects, AND now gnome-keyring-manager (I think so) asks you to choose a "master password" for its keyring (therefore use a new test user). If you enter "foo" as password, everything is ok, but if you choose to choose NO password, what is unsecure but very handy at my home computer, the program complains about impossibility of that - I MUST use a password, passwords MAY not be empty. In my opinion It should be to the user to choose. It is good if GNOME warns you, that this would be a security risk - maybe ask, "do you really want to take an empty password!?" But the decicion should be done by the user, not by the operating system... GNOME is in many things a great DE, but I (and many others...) don't like it if my computer wants to be more intelligent than I and doesn't let me do what I want ;-) -- gnome-keyring-manager requires non-empty password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
