Q: How can I stop being prompted to unlock the 'default' keyring on boot?

OliWhenever Ubuntu boots up, a dialogue pops up asking me to unlock my default keyring. Is there some way this can unlock automatically through PAM or some other magical way?

Q: How can I stop being prompted to unlock the 'default' keyring on boot? Ubuntu 12.04

SuhaibWhenever Ubuntu boots up, a dialogue pops up asking me to unlock my default keyring. I tried other Questions HERE & HERE but I did not find the Passwords tab. Please see the image below. What I did is this: Opened the dash. Typed "pass" in the search bar then selected "password and keys"....

anyone have any close votes?
I've tacked a bounty on the original
 
jrg
1:17 AM
@lazyPower Close, merge or bounty.
@JorgeCastro can you remind me who Mark Tully is?
 
he took over the askubuntu lens
 
jrg
Ah, ok.
thanks.
is this what we're looking for as the 12.04 solution?
 
maybe
I don't get that screen on mine
I could be wrong though
 
@ObsessiveFOSS Please look at askubuntu.com/a/187526/58990 . I have made few changes.
 
jrg
@ignite looks good to me.
 
1:28 AM
I have added spaces after full stops :P
 
1:56 AM
Hello...
 
jrg
@Joshua wassup?
 
Just trying to find the "200 new features" of iOS 6
 
jrg
my iOS6 download is still going.
 
@jrg ...
nevermind...
but maybe you know...
 
jrg
for some reason I can't do B4 > GM, I need to do a reinstall. :P
 
1:59 AM
Have you had any problems with google chrome and iOS 6?
 
jrg
None so far.
 
Oh... it is working terribly bad for me...
slow... crashes often... only accesses gmail in "offline mode"
 
jrg
might be the iPad.
then again, the last time I used my iPod as anything other than a MP3 player was the time you sent me a text message.
 
iphone actually...
 
jrg
I offloaded the majority of my stuff to my Nexus 7 and laptops. :P
 
2:02 AM
Oh and then the bastards wiped all my apps...
 
jrg
:(
 
all my data was still intact...
 
jrg
you don't store your stuff in the cloud bro?
 
Yeah I do...
good idea...
 
jrg
at this point, the only thing that isn't in the cloud is my IRC logs and my paper documents.
Once I get paid for this months gig, i'll buy a scanner and i'll have my paper docs up in the cloud too.
 
2:04 AM
phhh i have 140 gbs of stuff on CrashPlan
(which by the way they where giving away a free year, and there is a linux client)
 
jrg
how much do they want/month?
 
$0 for a year
I don't know what their regular plan is...
 
@izx no prob
 
jrg
@Joshua thanks, i'll look into that.
 
2:07 AM
no problem
@jrg oh and it says you have to be a carbonite user, but they don't verify it... so as long as you use a valid email address it will work
or at least it didn't last night...
 
jrg
only one computer?! i have to make a choice about which one to back up? :(
 
I know... me too...
 
jrg
man, this is tough. i'll pass.
 
lol...
 
jrg
i'll keep using my smattering of cloud services to back things up.
 
2:09 AM
@jrg the other deal was tempting too, 50 dollars for 2-10 computers for a year
 
jrg
@Joshua i'd consider that for our backups at work.
 
Yeah... I just wonder what it goes up to after a year
 
jrg
yikes. $599/year for carbonite - that's like the whole IT budget for 2 months.
 
holy snap!
 
jrg
i'll just go back to writing my custom rsync, RAID array, s3 and glacier backup system.
 
2:12 AM
no doubt...
Where did you find that price from>
?
 
Oh yeah you said carobonite, didn't see that the first time...
 
jrg
and thats for Mozy.
 
Crashplan plans aren't to bad
 
jrg
yeah, i'm going to go with s3 and glacier. offloading this to someone else is expensive.
 
2:15 AM
$6 a month for 2-10 computers unlimited space...
 
jrg
i'm not looking for consumer stuff, i'm shopping for work backup stuff.
I've got a system, and it works. I've tested it. Work is almost unprotected.
 
that is 72 dollars a year...
still not to bad...
 
jrg
 
jrg
yeah, it's still pricey. I'd have a hard time swinging that past them. They'd try to talk us down to doing offsite backups of accounting and only accounting, but that'd leave out the print server and everything else. :\
 
2:19 AM
Yeah business suck
 
jrg
idk. glacier is still looking pretty attractive right now.
 
at the sake of sounding retarded, what is glacier?
 
jrg
> With Amazon Glacier, customers can reliably store large or small amounts of data for as little as $0.01 per gigabyte per month, a significant savings compared to on-premises solutions
 
Oh... nice...
 
jrg
2:21 AM
I need to reboot, so I can't explain in further detail, but in short, glacier is awesome.
 
looks like it...
 
jrg
oh, can't reboot yet. rsync isn't done.
 
lol
 
jrg
so i guess you're stuck with me for a little while longer. ;)
 
Just can't get away can i?
 
jrg
2:26 AM
done!
 
oh :D
 
awww yeah
just helped a co worker conquer oauth with google
@jrg you do know that glacier has a 5 day access time POST archival right?
its not like S3 where you have instant access to the data. Its intended for corporate clients to offload historical data like old recordings, employee records, decomissioned system backups.
 
2:59 AM
is it possible to convert a ogv file to png?
 
3:11 AM
Bounty offered: How to check the SSL fingerprint by command line? (wget, curl, ...) http://askubuntu.com/q/156620?atw=1 #security
 
@msPeachy yes, with VLC
@izx thank you ^_^!!!!
 
izx
@RolandTaylor actually, can you help test out the deb files I built locally? That saves the Launchpad wait since we'll know if it works...
I can't seem to get a VM that disables PAE since all my machines are PAE....
 
@izx Oh, I'll have to start up the other system, but sure.
Can I check back in a little later?
 
izx
no problem, I'll ping and drop a link
 
3:47 AM
good morning
 
4:08 AM
Hi
@izx added them to my Dropbox
@izx they didn't work - there is a check in place (preinst script) that checks for pae support
Honestly I think dropping non-pae support was a terrible idea by the Ubuntu developers.

How ever when testing from root account i am receiving mails, but not receiving mails when i send it from nagios account. I have googled and found that only root user cand send mails using sendmail MTA. How to enable sendmail ...

@izx next bounty is on the way :D
 
Lol I need to start bounty hunting so I can reach 30k like the big boys.
Answering normal questions doesn't pay off the same way :P
 
@Anwar Hi!
 
hi @ignite
bounty hunter izx
Can someone edit this question ? askubuntu.com/q/187576/61218
 
4:42 AM
@RolandTaylor how?
 
using codification
 
@msPeachy I will have to look back at the VLC interface, but it's possible to save the frames as PNG
 
@RolandTaylor okay, take your time :)
 
Asking a question?
 
@msPeachy do you want to create a series of images?
 
4:46 AM
@msPeachy I'm gonna install VLC on this system then walk you through it once I find the option again
 
what I really wanted was to upload a recording of my screen here on AU but since it isn't possible, I'd like to convert it to png or gif, if that's possible.
 
Ohhhhh
 
@RolandTaylor Oh you don't have vlc yet? It's okay, you don't have to.
 
you can include a link to youtube
@msPeachy well I needed to install it anyway, so it's okay

Q: Convert Ogv -video to Gif -animation?

user2362I created Ogv -videos with gtk-recordMyDesktop -screecasting program, trying to tackle this problem here with bruteforce over X. You can view the videos with VLC. Now the puzzle is to find some ways to convert Ogv -videos into Gif -animations so I can display them in SE. How can I do that?

 
4:48 AM
This system had been a fresh install so a few things are missing
 
@RolandTaylor Oh okay. I've seen someone's post with an animated image or something, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a video file, and that's what I really want.
@ignite thank you.
 
I think @ignite's solution is pretty complete
 
It is also in ask ubuntu askubuntu.com/a/107735/61218
the mplayer option is simplest and easier i think
 
Yeah the solution I "googled out" is pretty complete :D
 
@Anwar thanks to you too
 
4:53 AM
you're welcome. i only followed the link from @ignite's link
How many pics do you want to upload in AU?
 
it's actually a video recording of my desktop. just want to try it out
 
i fear, the pics will be much more , good luck trying :)
 
Why don't you try apt.ubuntu.com/p/kazam
 
izx
@RolandTaylor OK, can you force install with dpkg?
I'll look for the preinst hook
@RolandTaylor do you know how to extract/rebuild a deb pkg with dpkg-deb (without compiling anything)?
 
@izx I have done it before though I don't remember off hand
But I will look into it
 
izx
5:07 AM
@RolandTaylor No, I meant I know how to do it, I'll tell you....
 
Oh lol
I need to log out and come back
 
izx
kk
 
having some trouble with Unity
 
@jrg no worries. I am already using Fedora's grub2.
 
stopping me from answering a question
 
5:09 AM
hi @jokerdino
are you using fedora now?
17 may be
 
no. not now.
 
Hi all
 
@RolandTaylor hi
 
brb again afk lol (Sorry for the constant back and forth)
 
hi
 
5:14 AM
bye everyone! going to sleep now!
 
bye
 
@RolandTaylor askubuntu.com/a/187593/58990 .This command should show you lid state:cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
someone write a script for it.
 
@Anwar the mplayer output is quite big for a 2 minute screencast
hi dino
 
hiya
 
@msPeachy i feared so.
 
5:23 AM
55mb!!!
 
A 30fps video will give you 30 pics/seconds
 
I see
is there another way?
 
How many files are there? can you open that directory?
@msPeachy You can take screenshot at a choosen point by pausing the video
 
the ogv file is 2.4mb, the output jpgs is about 250 pics
 
the length of ogv?
 
5:25 AM
@Anwar oh okay
2 minutes
 
You can take a screenshot by pausing it and then video -> take screenshot
 
how much is the size limit for uploading images in AU?
 
I don't know. but uploading more than 15 images may not be a good idea.
try the alternative way and see if it suits the need

Hi @msPeachy!
 
Hi @izx!

@RolandTaylor oh that's right.
@RolandTaylor good luck handling him.
 
@jokerdino don't worry, I'll send him the rules ;), and he'll need to be approved before posting.

@Anwar you're interested?
 
yes.

No problem really, most of us are seasonally active :)
@Anwar we can edit your posts before they are posted
(I've got lots of time for that).

Good night everyone.
 
Good night.
 
7:14 AM
@ignite Looks good!
 
Whoa, too early there @ObsessiveFOSS
Either too early or too late.
 
@jokerdino The former.
 
Right.
@EliahKagan Are you around?
 
From his user page:
> seen 1 hour ago
 
Thanks.
 
8:00 AM
cat /location/to/some/file will create the file if it doesn't exist?
 
nope
 
never mind
 
cat is for concatenating two files
cat file1 file2 >> newfile
 
concatenating?? doesn't it usually just list the content inside a file?
 
it became that.
the primary purpose is to concatenate
and then people started using it to see the contents
 
8:03 AM
Use touch.
 
@ObsessiveFOSS no no... I dont wanna create a file... just wanted to know what cat did... apparently its used for something totally different to its actual purpose
@jokerdino okay.. thanks for the info..
 
:)
 
If you cat file1>file2, file2 should be created.
 
echo "dummy text"> file2 also does the same thing... just that the file will contain dummy text instead of the contents of file1
 
8:07 AM
so I'm guessing that > is the thing responsible for that
 
Correct.
 
not cat
 
Yes. It sends stdout where CAT dumps data to the file.
Think if it like water pipes. Cat just dumps water out of an opening that dumps omto the screen, but > diverts it to a file.
 
hehe...
 
8:09 AM
also there is something called a pipeline character. I think its |. What is it do then?
 
The user page for that user reports that their website is about fecal transplants.
@ShyamK | chains stdin and stdout together so one sends data to the other, not a file.
 
what is that vertical line called? is there a technical term for it?
 
@jokerdino That link seem spammy to you?
@ShyamK It's called a pipe.
 
@ObsessiveFOSS Yep. Spam.
 
@jokerdino Thanks. I flagged it...

Can somebody close the upvotes for askubuntu.com/questions/187344/… ? It is awkward and the question isn't even good.
Also, I'm mad with the first answer (which has 41 upvotes = 410 rep), while it took him 1 min to build the answer, while I get 2 upvotes with an one-day to build answer :P
 
Hi @hakermania
 
@smartboyhw alo
 
@hakermania hehe :P
 
@jokerdino seriously, I am ashamed of this question. The answer was super obvious at the manual page
 
9:22 AM
you got some upvotes. be happy
 
@jokerdino @hakermania I don't get upvotes:)

Q: Why do stupid questions and their answers get so many upvotes?

SparkI have seen many stupid questions on Stack Overflow, some of them asked by moderators! And they are up-voted many times, while questions which are really very important are sometimes down voted! Due to this, sometimes I feel that Stack Overflow has issues with internal politics. Even now, when I...

 
@jokerdino LOL more
 
9:46 AM
@hakermania this happens because most of the users aren't familiar with this
and they are interested with this magic!!
 
@Anwar yes but the answer was at the manual
The question wasn't good
 
oh sweeet
 
votes do not necessarily reflect the quality of questions/answers
 
turns out the phone I am mucking with does USB tethering in linux with no drivers
 
@jokerdino because we are stupids as well
 
9:48 AM
@JourneymanGeek xD
@Anwar yep
 
@JourneymanGeek Oh
@Anwar xD
 
i don't know why hakermania is heckling with such a silly issue. it got 20 upvotes. so what? move on with life dude!

@JourneymanGeek good luck neckbeardie :P

@Anwar I had and I was aware of the answer once upon a time. But I forgot :D
Then I was used to positive PIDs
 
Well the reps are infinite on the system (as long as this SE is alive) so his 42 upvotes don't reduce your share ;P
