[arch-general] Gnome question (that is unanswered on the gnome mailinglist)
I thought I'd try my luck on here, even though this is a rather Gnome-specific question: In the past I've been using seahorse to provide both a gpg agent and an ssh agent. Recently I noticed that gnome-keyring-daemon provides both of those agents. I must say though that it seems to be very flaky. I'll switch back to using seahorse for now, but I'm still wondering why it is that there are two Gnome components with so much overlapping functionality. Will one replace the other? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

I don't use GNOME and my info might be out of date, but my understanding was that seahorse is replacing gnome-keyring for everything. Cheers, Peter.
Hi! After the last Pacman -Syu, I can't login with gdm. As soon as I clikc on my username, the system seems to freeze... Although not completely: I can ping from other computer, but I can't ssh. Before I click on the username, the "switch off" icon at the right down corner works. Once I click on the username, nothing else works, and I neither can ctrl-alt-F1 to the console... Any suggestions/questions? Best Regards, Guillermo

I have removed GDM and installed SLIM. Now I can login, but the screen shows nothing... And if I try to CTRL-ALT-F1 to the console, the system locks again. It is not a GDM problem. If I run startx from the command line, X starts. Any advice? Best regards, Guillermo

That's what I thought as well, but gnome-keyring-daemon can still be configured to provide both types of agents, and it does so by default after the latest upgrade. The bad bit is that it is crap at it! Anyway, for now I'll disable the agents from gnome-keyring and make sure seahorse is started on login instead. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
