Thread: Finding the key ring, it asks for it every time I try to open the root terminal

    Finding the key ring, it asks for it every time I try to open the root terminal

    I have kali rolling in a live USB (not encrypted). I opened a non-administrative account and added it to the sudoers file.

    However, every time I try to open the root terminal in that non-root account, it asks for a key ring. I type the root's password, the non-root account's password and neither work.

    Where can I find this famous key ring in Kali rolling? PS. The root terminal worked once before and all of a sudden now it asks for this.

    Thank you!

    It's probably gnome-keyring.

    $dpkg -l gnome-keyring

    should return a version you can check if it's the latest. I had a similar problem with the keyring and SSH keys. Have a look at https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...me-keyring-bug, which isn't exactly your issue, but may give you some pointers as to where to look.
