Description Karl Lattimer 2006-03-11 12:38:13 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I added a private FTP network place, entered the password in the keyring and
used it for a while, then I disconnected the server it no longer appears in my
places menu. I then got prompted for my keyring password repeatedly to access
the password for that ftp server almost every time i started any gnome
application (gedit etc...), cancelling brings up an almost infinite loop of
keyring password (cancel) -> ftp password (cancel) back to keyring password... I
then deleted the keyring entry, and now I am continually prompted for the ftp
password which eventually goes away (3 or 4 cancels does it)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a private FTP place, enter the password in the keyring
2. Disconnect the FTP server
3. Use any gnome app which can access remote servers


Actual results:
an infinite loop of keyring/ftp password dialogs, after deleting the keyring a
repetitive presentation of the ftp password dialog

Expected results:
When I disconnect an FTP server I would hope that the keyring password would
remain however it wouldn't continue to try and access the server and require the
keyring to be unlocked, also, when I hit cancel to unlock the keyring it should
only present me with the option to type the ftp password in once, rather than
continually, and if I cancel that it shouldn't then present me with the keyring
prompt again.

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
This may be in the wrong place, but finding somewhere to file bugs for places
isn't easy so I assume bookmarks is close enough.

This is actually two seperate bugs:

a) password dialogue not cancelable
b) any app using file selector asks for password of remote network bookmarks

I have seen those two before....
can't find them quickly now.
Comment 2 Christian Kirbach 2006-06-29 12:50:10 UTC
Bug 319532 is one of them
Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2006-06-29 12:55:51 UTC
a) should be covered by bug 336619 and fixed.
