Bug Description

Binary package hint: seahorse

Following instructions that I found online, I tried to use Seahorse to change my default keyring password. I went to the preferences dialog, but there is no keyrings tab.

This was reported as part of bug #327481. That bug is now claimed to be fixed. Yet I still don't see that tab. One of the commenters on this bug remarked as follows:

       1. seahorse-preferences does not show the keyrings;
       2. as a result of (1) above (probably?) cannot change the login keyring passphrase.

Further down in the bug report, the comment describing what was fixed does not seem to include this problem.

BTW: Is there some other way to change my default keyring password?

Thanks!

(I am running the latest released version of Jaunty 64 on a Dell.)

It is reproducible in the following senses:

1. Each time I run the program it is the same.

2. I tried reinstalling, still the same. Specifically:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall seahorse
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-keyring

However, since I only have one machine, I cannot tell how to reproduce it from scratch. Since this is a brand new install of Ubuntu, on a brand new computer, my guess is that there something about my particular configuration that is causing this. This is a very standard Ubuntu AMD64 installation on the whole disk of a new Dell Studio XPS 16, with 6 Gigs of memory. I don't think I made ANY non-default choices. Subsequently, I did change my password, and I turned off passwords for logging in (so, it boots directly to my desktop).

I installed the restricted extras, and a bunch of software. Mostly very standard stuff. I did install Virtual Box without using apt-get. I am also running tracker.

To see the problem, I simply fire up seahorse (either from the Main Menu or command line) and look at preferences. As I said above, I cannot tell you how to get there from scratch (bare machine) or if it is reproducible in that sense.
