Erasing the Gnome Keyring....




I wrote this review of it:

Whiule my technical understanding of it may be a touch limited, it seems to me to be an automated password / access generator, for access to programs or the access of programs (and other things) to passwords and the operations they enable; through the use of a master password.
 
The trouble is that it opens up at random times, with NO information about what program wants to access the password, or worse WHO may be wanting to access the keyring; or why.
 
This is a totally unacceptable lack of user control. 
 
There is no control panel. No OFF switch. If you uninstall it  - via the control center, it removes python, the Software Centre etc.., etc., etc...
 
So you have to reinstall the Software Centre / python etc., etc., etc via Synaptic, and guess what - this program reinstalls it's self, along with ALL the other programs it removed in the uninstall.
 
I think it's like a cancer... you cut it out and it grows back.
 
What ever the "merrits" of the security level it enhances - the annoying out of the blue, requests it makes in random "not connected to any program" pop up messages, the lack of information as the basis of these requests and the very real and damaging uninstalls, that it does to your system, make this a BAD program.
 
There are no settings, no control panel, no OFF switch, no CLEAN uninstal, no information on what or who or why it's suddenly decided to demand that you enter the password, because some "program" is requesting it......
 
Bad, Bad, Bad........
 
There are a few hundred thousand returns in Google for "Keyring + uninstall + Ubuntu".
 
 And there is NOTHING on the Gnome website about removing it...
 
live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring



End of review.




Without getting really fucking nasty - take this as a hint....

I certainly regret installing it.

LOTS of other people do as well.

Gedit plugin

Hello,

since the gedit plugin did not work with GNOME 3, and since the various
workarounds found by googling didn't work for me, I wrote a new one:
http://pietrobattiston.it/gedit-crypto

This mail is to thank you for the very nice DBus service, to ask for any
kind of feedback of what I could do better (i.e. realising _before_
trying which keys are a valid recipient for encryption), and to ask one
particular question, which follows.

When I use the DBus method EncryptText(), I am asked for a list of keys.
Assume I give some key of a friend of mine. When I try to decrypt the
resulting text, I would expect the process to fail - I don't have her
private key.
Instead, gpg decrypts it without problems, because the text is encrypted
both with my friend's key and _my_ key.

Fair enough, it can make sense, in principle, that I'm able to decrypt
any text I encrypted. But then, I would expect EncryptText() to also
accept an empty list of keys: it should then encrypt using only my key.
Instead, it refuses, pretending some recipients.

Am I missing some huge detail?

Thanks,

Pietro

mallard-help docs branch

Hi All,

To help the seahorse-docs project along, we've moved the docs from a repository on gitorious.org to a branch of the seahorse git.gnome.org repository. The branch name is mallard-help.

To view the files in yelp, you can do 'git checkout mallard-help' from the main seahorse repository, and then enter 'yelp help/C/'

Feel free to either commit patches directly to that branch, or (if you just want to enter comments / suggestions) you can just enclose your comments via an <!-- XML comment -->.

The branch is still pretty sparse, but let me know if you have any comments or questions for now. Thanks,

Jim

Gnome Python 3 Goal

Hello,

I'm new around here, but use seahorse regularly for tracking my numerous passwords.

I was poking around the GNOME goals list at (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/Python3Porting) and saw that seahorse was marked as 'to do' for Python 3 porting.  I noticed that the only Python-related code visible is in the 'tests' directory of the seahorse and libcryptui source trees.

After a bit of research, it looks like these test scripts exercise the DBUS interface provided seahorse-daemon which has been moved to libcryptui. Can these tests live in only the libcryptui source tree or do they need to remain in both the seahorse and libcryptui trees?

I've attached a trivial patch to port these scripts to Python 3.  I can vouch that these changes allow the scripts to pass Python 3's syntax checker.

Tails bounties for Seahorse


Hi Seahorse community,

I'm part of the people developing the live system called Tails [1].
Tails has a strong focus on privacy, anonymity, encryption, etc. and of
course includes Seahorse.

We are now preparing a bounties program to help upstream developers work
on important bugs or interesting features for Tails. And we would like
to propose three bounty opportunities to the Seahorse community.

We are still in the process of deciding which bounties we can fund
within our budget. So those are only proposals and there is no amount of
money associated to them yet. If any of you is interested, please send
an email to tails <at> boum.org and include:

  - A short intro to who you are and the work you've already done in
    Seahorse.
  - A estimate workload to fulfill the task.
  - A budget and calendar proposal.

Keep in mind that your estimates should include coding, review,
debugging and documentation. Stef Walter volunteered to support and
mentor people working on this (correct me if I'm wrong).

We want to close this first round of proposals by the beginning of March.

SSH Keys in Seahorse
====================

The import of SSH keys in Seahorse doesn't work.

That's GNOME bug #550736, and still holds on Fedora 18 Live:

  - Importing a SSH public key returns: "Cannot display a file of this
    type." error message.
  - Importing a SSH private key returns: "No user has logged in." after
    being asked for the passphrase and a label.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=550736

As far as I understood, this is a larger scale issue related to
gnome-keyring. Maybe Stef Walter can provide more information on this.

We propose a bounty to fix this bug.

Symmetric file encryption in Seahorse Nautilus
==============================================

The `gpg` command-line can do symmetric encryption and we like to
propose this type of encryption as a valid alternative to asymmetric
encryption in certain use cases.

Seahorse Nautilus can decrypt a symmetrically encrypted file but do not
propose symmetric encryption as of now.

That's GNOME bug #325803:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325803

We propose a bounty to implement this feature.

Signature verification in Seahorse Nautilus
===========================================

Seahorse Nautilus should provide a menu entry to check either detached
signature or text messages with cleartext signatures.

I couldn't find a corresponding GNOME bug even though the issue affects
Fedora 18. But there is a Ubuntu bug to track this issue:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse-nautilus/+bug/995623

We propose a bounty to implement this feature.

Thank you for your attention,
