It is beyond my knowledge and control.
sure it asks for root password? as it could be it ask to unlock session key for user, if you are using autologin to Desktop Environment and the key do not get unlocked
Yes Sir. Xface desktop. Not every time only when launching google chrome after rebooting pc.
The message displays as below;
" The login Keyring did not got unlocked when you logged into your desktop."
OK - one solution laid out a in a manner more easily understood…
The icons that each program ‘owns’, and is displayed on such things as docks, are directed by a file called application_name.desktop. What we are going to do here is move a copy of that file to your local directory, where its setting will have priority over the system settings when you are logged ion. First we make sure that the directory ‘applications’ exists in ~/.local/share. Create it if it’s not there. Then
cp /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
Check that it made it there. Now it needs some editing. You could use the sed command given in that post, or just open the file with a text editor, and add the line in yourself. Depending on your DE, you may be able to do it by editing the Properties tab in your file browser instead. (edit: I see you’re on XFCE, so that is a good choice to use) Any which way, add this:
--password-store=basic
either in the box for command in Properties/Lancher, or between the Exec=chrome-browser and the %U, with spaces surrounding it.
I am not sure of the exact contents of your Exec= line, as I don’t run Chrome, but it should be clear where to put it if you’re hand-editing.
Once this is done, the next time you start it up, there should be no demand for a password - but also no extra protection for the passwords stored in your browser. Which may not matter, if your main user password is good, of course!
Hope this helps, and clarifies what is suggested in the past.
that’s what i say the login-keyring of your user not root.
I didnt understand what you are saying?
I can make use of google -chrome by providing root password of OS which was created while installing. No issue subsequent running of google-chrome.
per default install will use the same password for your user created on install and the root-user. but they are still two different users.
google-chrome asking for is the login-keyring of your normal user, it is usually unlocked on login. (if you use loginmanager and not login to your Desktop without login-manager)
I am logging desktop with root password only. Still asking while launching google chrome
that is normal on google-chrome if gnome-keyring is installed you need to follow this:
to get rid of the password asking.
But again you do not login with your root-account to Desktop, it is your normal user-account.
root-account and normal-user-account only have the same password. a user have a username and a password.
if you put
username = nnriyer
paswword = 234
you will login as this user also if the password is the same as for:
username = root
password = 234
it is always the combination of name and password.
if you use gnome-keyring and chromium based i thought if you enter the first password blank , it doest go back asking password 
if you enter a password it going back.
Also check that your user is in the wheel group and enable sudoers for the group. Gnome doesn’t like the special sudoers file that EOS uses
It should use polkit afaik, which doesn’t have anything to do with sudo…
Maybe but that is how I fixed it
my first time i removed the chromium profile and restarted chromium asked again with blanking did the job but thats a time ago mayby its changed
I also get the password prompt to open the keyring when launching chromium. I use firefox for privacy reasons (can’t really trust anything google related), but sometimes I need to check how sites look on chrome.
Always makes me nervous when I enter the password. Chromium wants too much!
You can however Click cancel on the prompt screen (need to pe persistent as it will ask your password for a few more times before giving up) and continue to use Chromium without giving it access to the keyring.
Here’s a quick solution to disable the use of keyring and let Chromium use a more simple password storage mechanism:
basic idea is to add this parameter to the launcher:
chromium –password-store=basic
I have read, it has some security issue hence it is not advisable.
