Hi all,

I wish I could ask this question intelligently. But I am clueless.

I'm using the Cinnamon desktop manager. Whenever I log in, I get a message in the upper left hand corner that claims it "can't publish keys to the network." I haven't seen this with other desktop managers: I've played with Openbox and GNOME.

I have no idea what *it* is. I have no idea what *keys* it is talking about--I hope it isn't trying to publish private keys that should be kept secret. And I have no idea what functionality I'm losing as a result.

Can someone shed some light?

Thanks!

Try running seahorse, go to Edit -> Preferences. Make sure "Automatically synchronize modified keys with key servers" is not checked.
