Will check in 10 pm EDT, need ZZs now

Just a little thing to check, George. There shouldn't be a space between the filename and the dot. Can you check that? For example, it SHOULD say login.keyring and user.keystore, with no spaces within the filename. If that is correct, I want you to go to the next step. We are going to...

OK, George, I'm confident in that answer now. Next step. Please close the terminal, open a new one, and follow the instructions in 89 again, but this time go to .local/share/keyrings instead of .gnome2 Then, after you are in ~/.local/share/keyrings [in the prompt], type 'ls -la' again and...

George, go to post 89 and follow from beginning to end.

An amusing, and interesting flame war of sorts on the Freedesktop bugtracker, involving none other than Lennart Poettering responding to a bug entitled 'Systemd is Malware' What do you think? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88570

So, to recap: Open a terminal and type each command followed by 'enter': cd /home [don't forget the slash] ls [show-me-names-of-all-users-in- /home] cd myusername [no slash in this one] cd .gnome2 [or here] ls -la...

I'm showing you this because it's important that you have a concept of the directory structure. It will help us. I promise to show you why at the appropriate time. Don't think it's going backwards, just think of it as a slower, more deliberate way into the same goal. We were using shorthand...

Nope, forwards. Think of the cd command as the same cd command you used to use in windows/DOS. Notice how the directory you cd'd into has become part of the prompt now? We are going to cd into your user directory now. Let's see what its name is. Now: ls What directories are listed there...

OK George, let's try something different. cd /home/ What happens?

OK, if what you've posted is correct, there's no keyrings directory in ~/.gnome2 I think that's a bit odd, but try this please: ls ~/.local/share/keyrings What are the contents?

You're cooking with gas now. :) If you do it correctly, the output should be exactly the same as your last post. If it's different, you're doing something wrong. Let's see.

George, can you copy and paste INTO your terminal from here? ls ~/.gnome2 and ls ~/.gnome2/keyrings

George, you're putting the cart before the horse again. Slow down. First things first. The password manager probably won't be needed, if you find the information I need in your file manager/terminal. I absolutely MUST KNOW the following, before anything else: - Is there a ~/.gnome2/keyrings...

We're here when you're ready, m'man.

Precisely. And I am 99% certain that I know what the issue is, but I must make absolutely sure of some things first. George, please be patient with me. "ttbmk" simply isn't good enough. Please, open your file manager and navigate to /home/yourname/.gnome2/, left click on .gnome2, and tell...

BTW, George, I'll bet you'll find the Password Manager in the Administration section of those menus Daniel has posted. I've never seen the Mint program menu before, but 'Administration' would be where I'd look. But back to business - don't forget @Daniel: can you show him how to cut/paste...

OK, that's what I expected. We are making progress, whether it seems like to you or not. They are ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring and ~/.local/share/keyrings/user.keystore. Note: there are NO spaces in the filenames. Now, I MUST know if you have the directory ~/.gnome2/keyrings, and...

George, remain calm. Some of the problem here is that I don't run Mint, and in the distros that I run, everything has a different name, so it's like a New Hampshire farmer talking to an Alabama good 'ole boy. It's basically the same, but we have to overcome our 'failure to communicate'...

OK, we're getting somewhere now. Calm down :) Is that "login keyring", or "login.keyring"? "user keystore", or "user.keystore"? Now, very important: Do you have ~/.gnome2/keyrings? If you do, is it empty, or does it have contents? As for the password manager, I want you to click the Mint...

Hmm. I could fit that, if it's 28" diagonal. What did you pay?
