[SOLVED] Where to see/change startup programs at Mint9?

[Minotti]

Mint9 beginner needs help!

It may be a coincidence, but this requests for a password appeared for the first time at boot when I had installed the Wacom Bamboo software (see att. snapshot1).

Err... which device(s)?
Where can I see the system startup settings for this? I'd like to know what program wants a password for which device... and why? Bamboo runs without any password, no matter if it's connected (USB) at boot or gets connected later.

System monitor says this:

see att. snapshot2 and snapshot3


Thanks in advance!

Hi and Welcome !

Which version of Ubuntu are you using? Have you installed KDE through Package Manager or is it Kubuntu?

Hi and Welcome !

It's Linux Mint 9, based on Ubuntu.
In the meantime I have heard that it has nothing to do with that Bamboo software, it's HAL that wants a password for using the USB WLAN stick.
I don't have a clue why this is happening, some time ago I never needed to type in a password in that kind, only for the KDE Wallet and all was running fine.
Now I don't know what to do to get back to the old status.

My mistake ! I didn't notice thread title. You have already mentioned Mint9 in thread title.
I am not a Mint User but as it's based on Ubuntu/Gnome only, it might be using Keyring Manager to manage all passwords.

Check if there is any keyring folder in .gnome2.

ls -l .gnome2/keyring

If there is any, delete all the files inside keyring folder and reboot machine. It will ask for new password setup after logging in. Keep password blank to disable it.

It's not there, it can't, it's KDE.

It looks from the screenshot like it's trying to mount a volume and doesn't have the correct permissions. You can see the volume uuid listed in the process info there.

Do

sudo blkid

to list volumes and their uuid and match the uuid to what you're seeing from the kdesu process.

Post the contents of /etc/fstab file and output of sudo fdisk -l command too.

cat /etc/fstab
sudo fdisk -l

KDE's version of keyring is kwallet, but I don't know any more than that about it as I don't use KDE

although this may help

I just changed at 'System Settings: Session Manager' at 'On Login' from 'Restore previous session' to 'Start with an empty session'.

Those password requests are gone. Only KDE Wallet.

Case closed.
