FW: svn password -gnome- keyring

[Ivan Gomes de Miranda]

Hello,
I have once made a password, after ran `svn udpdate`, it required me for a password keyring, so I made one.
I noted it somewhere, now it's lost and I can't work with svn anymore because I can't update anything. (it's not about the project host password).
I exported the working copy to another location, checkout, when update it asked again.
How could I reset/remove/troubleshoot it?

What is it for, anyway?

Have a great time.

Saudações,
Ivan de Miranda

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for writing in. Hope you had a pleasant weekend. :-)

Unfortunately, I'm no Lubuntu expert, but I did find something that could explain the dialog box you're seeing.

See: http://askubuntu.com/questions/184266/what-is-unlock-keyring-and-how-do-i-get-rid-of-it.

It sounds like this is a way to store password and encryption keys. I'd recommend keeping that password somewhere safe, in case you come across it again. I hope that helps but please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Hello Beanstalk!
I checked out a beanstalk repository at terminal - on a lubuntu - and inserted my username and password as usual. When I succeed to do that, prompted a dialog box with something about a key ring password, don't remember the message. So I made one and different from my beanstalk password. What is that ? Should I keep it ? When I will use it again?

Hi Ivan,

This is a bit off topic here. As Ivan already proposed, most likely the password dialog you are seeing is the dialog box for getting access to your keyring. I'm not familiar with lubuntu, but normally there's no way to restore a keyring for which you've lost your password, afaik.

SVN seems to be setup on the server to require some means of authentication. You should get in touch with your administrator to determine the means to get access to your repository again (normally, he'd reset your credentials so you can reset your key pair or get alternative means to authenticate yourself).
