Remote VNC on computer bootup (Lucid) [SOLVED]

[Steve Malenfant]

It's me top-posting again! But this time, I got my problem solved
after googling again the proper keywords. Thanks for those who tried to
understand/help and sorry for the list traffic. Hopefully that will help
others.

I have found a workaround for this issue on 10.04.

Open up Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys

Right click Passwords:login and unlock it.

You should be able to expand the tree and find a listing for vino. Right
click and delete it.

Close Passwords and Encryption Keys.

Open gconf-editor as and navigate to /desktop/gnome/remote_access

Enter in your BASE64 encoded password into the vnc_password key.

Save the config and close the editor.

Reboot and you can now use your VNC client to connect to your machine
without being first prompted with the keyring.
