Dear Julian, The keyring you refer to is almost certianly GNOME Keyring, which is installed by default on most GTK-based desktop environments (that includes GNOME of course, as well as Xfce etc.) As such, just changing your Desktop Manager (which is a different thing to the desktop environment) to ask for a password isn't going to work on its own. I'd recommend following the instructions for 'PAM step' on the Arch Linux wiki page that covers the keyring: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring#Using_the_keyring If it still doesn't work after rebooting, it might mean that the keyring login name is different from your account name. In this case, you can install 'seahorse' to graphically see what the keyring is called. I've now completely moved to KeePassXC, which is slightly less integrated than GNOME Keyring (so I'm not sure it would work for your use-case), but is easier to set up. Hope this helps :) Best wishes, Sebastian On Sun, Oct 16, 2022 at 12:51:25PM +0100, Julian Hall wrote: > Hi All, > > You may recall my trials and tribulations trying to get NFS shares auto > mounting when I boot in the current Linux Mint.
