Re: Authorization required in Gajim

Probably caused by gnome-keyring. I always found it useless, annoying and glitchy - it's one of the things I remove immediately after OS installation.

Guaranteed. I get rid of it too.

$ sudo apt-get purge gnome-keyring
$ dpkg -l  | grep keyring

I'm not sure it's related to my issue. For example google-chrome presents the same message and gajim (if purged (and its .config dir)) and then if i started again after i try to enter my account for a server the same message will appear. If i hit cancel the dialogue dissapear but my xmpp acoount wont still login.
If i choose yes i get a dialogue window:

Title : KDE wallet service :
/usr/bin/gajim requested the creation of a kdewallet ....

If i manage to login (without enabling kde waller -- yes that happened!) the next time i start gajim i get near my xfce notifacation area the message 'password not found authentication failed' and although i can see my contacts i am offline and trying to get online i get the same notification message.

Also shouldnt  $sudo apt-get purge gajim    delete the config files too. I purged it. I reninstalled it and my contacts were there.
Indeed:

~/.config/gajim$ ls
pluginsconfig  settings.sqlite  theme

ps: it not my writing that is messed up..  :-)
