GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 339962
Bookmark to ftp location makes Gnome client applications request Keyring access when saving files / opening file save dialog
Last modified: 2006-08-04 12:53:37 UTC
Please describe the problem: I am not too sure whether this is a problem with nautillus or the client applications I saw the problem with: A while ago put a bookmark to a remote ( password protected ) ftp location in nautillus. From that point on a safe dialog in any application using the gnome standard save dialog would request the keyring password before enabling me to safe the file as usual ( which was quite annoying to say the least ). I eventually figured out that it seemed to be due to that bookmark I placed, removing the bookmark fixed the problem. Steps to reproduce: 1. Make a bookmark to any password protected ftp ( or possibly any other ) network resource 2. The next time you log on a safe dialog will request keyring access even without you trying to safe to that network resource Actual results: Safe dialog requires keyring access, canceling does not work ( sometimes crashes, otherwise repeats asking - in fact saving without keyring access is made impossible ) Expected results: Only when attempting to safe to that location keyring access should be demanded. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
This happens for me as well. GNOME 2.14.1 (FC5). It is not just FTP sites, SSH booksmarks cause the same problems. Because of this behavior I avoid making use of the bookmark features. The constant password prompts are just too annoying. This problem may actually be in gnome-vfs not Nautilus.
