I'm trying to figure out how to reboot my Ubuntu server without needing to change my password every time. Is leaving the keychain blank the only solution? If there are other ways to keep it secure while avoiding password changes, I'd love to hear them!

It’s unusual that you need to change your password every time you reboot. What version of Ubuntu are you running? Typically, this should not be a requirement. Maybe there’s a new setting or security feature impacting your setup?
If you're looking for a more persistent remote connection, consider using a remote desktop protocol (RDP) instead of relying on traditional VNC. You can set up xrdp for a more stable connection without needing keyrings. Just install it and configure it to ensure your session is persistent. Here’s a quick command: `apt-get install xrdp`, then modify the configuration file accordingly to set up a consistent session.
That sounds promising! I’ll give that a shot. I just want to make sure I don’t run into the same password issue.
I'm on Ubuntu 24.02. As someone who’s trying to set it up as a server, I’d prefer not to physically access the PC to change the password each time!
