svnserve: "Password for '(null)' GNOME keyring"

[^rooker]

[PROBLEM]
I've set up svnserve to handle SVN user authentication. I've done an SVN checkout with "--username myuser", but when I wanted to commit a change, I was asked for a GNOME keyring passphrase:

Password for '(null)' GNOME keyring:

I neither configured, nor am planning to use GNOME keyring or KWallet for handling my SVN logins on that machine.


[SOLUTION]
In "~/.subversion/config", there are settings which define whether SVN credentials/passwords are stored, and how. Configure the following settings to look like this:

Code: Select all

password-stores =
store-passwords = no
store-auth-creds = no

Try to update and/or commit in order to verify if the changes are correct.

If you still get a warning that it couldn't connect to gnome-keyring:

WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-tiYtOT/pkcs11: No such file or directory

Unset the following 2 environment variables:

Code: Select all

$ unset GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL
$ unset GNOME_KEYRING_PID

That should disable applications trying to connect to the gnome-keyring.
