Description Ronnie 2006-12-23 19:32:57 UTC 
What were you doing when the application crashed?
I installed OpenSuse 10.2 with Evolution. The program prompts me for my e-mail server passwords every time even though I have the program set to save the passwords.


Distribution: openSUSE 10.2 (X86-64)
Gnome Release: 2.16.1 2006-11-28 (SUSE)
BugBuddy Version: 2.16.0
Comment 1 Ronnie 2007-01-04 05:25:41 UTC 
My problem is solved. The problem was caused because KDE does not or cannot open the Gnome Keyring Daemon.I found an .rpm file at www.thiagovinhas.org/evolution-data-server-1.8.2-5tv.x86_64.rpm

This .rpm specifies that Evolution does not use Gnome Keyring Daemon. Please note that this .rpm is for xx86_64 systems only. It could easily be modified as a permanent patch for the problem as it seems widespread.

I don't see how this has anything to do with KDE? evolution-data-server can be compiled to use the keyring daemon, but I don't know if SuSE does that.
Comment 3 Ronnie 2007-01-16 13:26:39 UTC 
  I can't be sure if the problem is KDE or Suse. All I know is that the Gnome Keyring Daemon does not work correctly in Suse 10.2 only when using the KDE desktop. If I booted into a Gnome Desktop, everything worked as expected. The only other fix I found was for the user to re-assign the PID and one other thing for the Gnome Keyring using a terminal window, which has to be done every time after a reboot. I did not want to have to do that each time, so I found and used the rpm mentioned above that specifies that Evolution does not use the daemon. 
  Yes, Suse compiled Evolution Data Server to use the Gnome keyring. That seems to be the problem. It only works correctly when you log into the Gnome Desktop and not in KDE.
