disabe password feature in subclipse (eclipse plugin) to get rid "unsupported password" dialog on Ubuntu

My eclipse always prompt a "unsupported password" dialog everytime i run it. It causes my eclipse to lag, and sometimes i need to force close it.

This is my subclipse :

enter image description here

I tried to change the config file in etc/subversion (ubuntu), i found it in this document :

### Valid password stores:
###   gnome-keyring        (Unix-like systems)
###   kwallet              (Unix-like systems)
###   keychain             (Mac OS X)
###   windows-cryptoapi    (Windows)
//i uncomment and empty the value, like the doc suggested
password-stores =

However, the dialog is still there.

Please help me out, Thanks for your help

Solution

  • I've finally done it. I'm still unable to save the password but at least the annoying dialog box is gone, forever.

    The documentation was wrong, the config file I edited in etc/subversion has no effect. The true path is in /home/user/.subversion/config. There was actually 2 same config file in my laptop, and only one is work.

    The step-by-step syntax in terminal :

    1. Chmod the config file because its read only :

      sudo chmod -R 777 /home/user/.subversion/config

    2. Change your current directory to the config's directory :

      cd /user/tama/.subversion

    3. Open it with libreoffice or other text editor :

      libreoffice config

    4. Uncomment (delete the #) in this line :

      password-stores =

    Uncommenting the second line, with empty value automatically disable the password feature, thus we can say good bye to the annoying dialog box.
