I use Kubuntu 17.04 with Auto Login. My Login password is different than my Keyring and Kwallet passwords. Each time I open Skype for Linux Beta 5.5.0.1 a dialog box opens saying
Enter password for keyring "default keyring" to unlock.
I enter the password and I can use Skype. I would like not to have to enter my password each time. I did some searching in Dolphin and found I have Ubuntu, Gnome and Python keyrings. I can find nothing in my applications or settings to access the keyring. I do have KDEwallet/Kwalletmanager. What can I do?
Some think this is caused by the presence of dbus-user-session
$ dbus-user-session --version
dbus-user-session: command not found
With Auto Login to Kubuntu enabled:
$ ps aux | grep keyring
user 1808 0.0 0.0 14288 1024 pts/1 S+ 19:06 0:00 grep --color=auto keyring
With Auto Login disabled:
$ ps aux | grep keyring
user 1258 0.0 0.1 203168 5152 ? Sl 20:35 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login
user 1856 0.0 0.0 14288 972 pts/1 S+ 20:36 0:00 grep --color=auto keyring

I've solved this problem as follows:
password
to find the utilityPasswords and Keys
. Open this utility.Login
in the sectionPasswords
. Right click onLogin
, and select Change Password from the pop-up menu.Once you have done that, you should be able to open Skype without being prompted for the keyring password.
Obviously, this approach assumes you are fine with not having this extra layer of security on your keyring, but I expect for most home users this is perfectly fine.
