How to Connect to a Wireless Networking with Prompting for a Keyring Password in Ubuntu/Gnome

(0 votes, average 0 out of 5)

Sometimes the default installation of Ubuntu will continue to prompt for a keyring password in order to access the stored wifi password. This prevents automatic login to wifi networks. To remove this prompt for a keyring password and just automatically connect to the saved wireless network, do the following:

Right click on the Network Manager icon in the system tray. Now, click Edit Connections
Click on the Wireless tab and select the connect you are using. Click the Edit button
Make sure the Available to all users and Connect automatically boxes are checked
Close all windows and restart the computer. The edited wireless network should now connect automatically without a password prompt
