Changing user password upsets evolution, solution needed.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am running Fed35 workstation (thus Gnome) using evolution for mail

I want to change the password for user (myself).
But I remember from a couple of years ago that this gave problems
with evolution and gnome-keyring: something like being prompted
on startup evolution for a password to unlock the login keyring and
that nothing I tried (after internet search) worked.
I "solved" the problem then by installing thunderbird which did
not have this problem and erasing evolution.

My question now is: how can I change the user password and
evade the problems caused by evolution, gnome-keyring, pam
whatever. That is how can I change everything needed in one go.

I do not even understand what is happening because I have
never needed to study the arcane mysteries of gnome-keyring/pam
etc. (and when I looked the docs I found were not very clear).

Can somebody refer me to a detailed schedule of what is actually
happening so I can understand it and work out the steps needed
myself. Or better yet give me the necessary instructions.
(I am getting too old for these kinds of things :))
