Hello,
While I'm not familiar with the arcane magics of gnome-keyring and
friends either, this problem may have been caused by a bug that has
since been fixed. I say this because I have changed my user password on
this machine, both in F33 and now in F34, without it causing any big
problems with Evolution, though I believe in all cases I've either
logged out or rebooted after changing my password.

I am running Fed35 workstation (thus Gnome) using evolution for
mail
I want to change the password for user (myself).
But I remember from a couple of years ago that this gave problems
with evolution and gnome-keyring: something like being prompted
on startup evolution for a password to unlock the login keyring and
that nothing I tried (after internet search) worked.
I "solved" the problem then by installing thunderbird which did
not have this problem and erasing evolution.
My question now is: how can I change the user password and
evade the problems caused by evolution, gnome-keyring, pam
whatever. That is how can I change everything needed in one go.
I do not even understand what is happening because I have
never needed to study the arcane mysteries of gnome-keyring/pam
etc. (and when I looked the docs I found were not very clear).
Can somebody refer me to a detailed schedule of what is actually
happening so I can understand it and work out the steps needed
myself. Or better yet give me the necessary instructions.
(I am getting too old for these kinds of things :))
