Airvpn Needs keystring password on linux mint on every boot/suspend

[TheBoss1980 0]

I'm wondering how to go about removing this so when I open my laptop or turn on my laptop I wont need to enter in my password every time and the program can actually auto start on boot, TIA (also I'm using Eddie)

This is already implemented, though. Check out Eddie Preferences > General > Profile data protection. Set it to secret-tool.

Hello!

This depends on your desktop wallet configuration/behavior. Perhaps after a suspend the wallet gets encrypted and you need to enter the password to decrypt it (and therefore Eddie will be able to decrypt the configuration file). Different issue is when Eddie asks for root privileges. To bypass this security feature Eddie backend can start as a systemd service (only on systemd based systems) during the bootstrap. That's why when you start the GUI you should not be prompted for the password to gain root privileges: the backend already runs with root privileges.

It should be clarified now whether the password you need to enter relates to the wallet password (in order to decrypt Eddie's configuration file) or to the authorization to gain root privileges. In particular, please note that if Eddie was already running before the suspension, then at resume Eddie should find the configuration file already decrypted, and Eddie's backend already runs with root privileges. The passwords could match (it depends on your configuration) but they are used for different purposes.

Can you also tell us your Desktop Environment name and version?

Kind regards
