OK. Let's look at disabling Gnome keyring for networks completely, starting at step 2 as you have already done Step 1. But before attempting any changes, use Timeshift to take a snapshot of your system should things go wrong. Better to be safe than sorry:
Disable GNOME Keyring for Network
To disable GNOME Keyring for network connections in Ubuntu 22.04, you can follow these steps:
- Uncheck gnome-keyring-daemon in Startup Applications:
- Go to System Settings > Startup Applications (or search for “Startup Applications” in the Dash).
- Look for “gnome-keyring-daemon” and uncheck the box next to it.
- This will prevent the daemon from running automatically when you log in.
- Remove execute permission from gnome-keyring-daemon:
- Open a terminal and run the command:
sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon - This will disable the executable permission for the gnome-keyring-daemon, effectively preventing it from running.
- Kill any running gnome-keyring-daemon processes:
- Open System Monitor (or use
ps aux | grep gnome-keyring-daemonto find the process ID). - Select the gnome-keyring-daemon process and click “End Process”.
After completing these steps, GNOME Keyring should no longer be used for network connections in Ubuntu 22.04.
Note: If you need to re-enable GNOME Keyring for other purposes, you can reverse these steps or reinstall the package (sudo apt-get install gnome-keyring).
Remember to restart your system after making these changes to ensure they take effect.
