Description Lutring Márk 2013-02-17 07:45:17 UTC
When i quit from amarok it forgets my datas and i have to set it again. I tried to write it into the amarokrc file int ~/.kde/share/config/, but it didn't helped. I tried to compile amarok by own and it produced the same bug. And i tried to delete my old configurations but the same...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write your user and passwrd into options/plugins/last.fm
2.restart amarok
3.it should be empty and amarok won't scroble
Actual Results:  
The fields are empty again

Expected Results:  
The fields should be filed, and amarok should scroble my datas without i have to rewrite my user/password

I'm using Kubuntu raring, AMD64

Hi, amarokrc file is not designed to we written to by hand (unless otherwise noted). To save Last.fm password, just please enter it to Last.fm config dialog and hit OK. Amarok should try to save the credentials to KWallet, if it is not available, it should ask you whether to store the data in plain-text.

If this still doesn't work, please copy & paste the [Service_LastFm] section of the amarokrc here as written by Amarok (not you; feel free to replace any password by asterisks or whatever).
Comment 2 Lutring Márk 2013-02-17 15:53:00 UTC
I wrote user/password to amarokrc after i've tried to save with the program... i'm using kwallet with "empty password". can it be a problem?

This is strange and I totally cannot reproduce this. I quit Amarok, replace my [Service_LastFm] with yours, start Amarok, go to Last.fm configuration, enter login and password. KWallet asks me whether to allow Amarok access the Wallet,
 a) I allow -> the lastfm_password and lastfm_username appear in my walled under Amarok app and kWalletUsage chanes to 1 meaning that the password is in KWallet.
 b) I disallow -> Amarok asks me whether to save password in plain-text,
   b1) I allow -> kWalletUsage is changed to 2 and password and username entries appear
   b2) I disallow -> kWalletUsage remains at 0 (no password entered yet)

Where you start to differ above? Do you have allowed Amarok to access the Wallet? If you open the Wallet using KWallet manager, do you see the Amarok entry with username and password? What KDE (kdelibs) version do you have?
Comment 8 Lutring Márk 2013-02-17 18:13:01 UTC
Hmm it is strange, my wallet was disabled... But amarok didn't ask me where i want to store datas... i enabled kwallet and it's okay now... Thank you for your help (but another question, if kwallet doesn't allowed why didn't amarok ask me  the type of storage?)

No idea, but that question is better asked in the forum.

Did you try with a new user on Amarok 2.8 beta? No need to confirm with 2.7.0, btw, as we do no backports anyway.
Comment 14 George Machitidze 2013-07-27 18:24:32 UTC
Yep, It works only with enabled Kwallet, if kwallet is disabled - it doesn't work.
If it is expected behavior, then I think this bug must be reopened as feature request or improvement. This behavior is very annoying - at least "last.fm" plugin must be disabled in this case somehow to inform user for a problem.

It really should work, asking whether you want to save credentials in ASCII if KWallet isn't available.

 a) Are you really using Amarok 2.8 Beta? What version it says in the about dialog?
 b) what are the exact steps you perform? What is the actual behaviour and what is the expected behaviour?
 c) please paste the [Service_LastFm] section of your ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc
Comment 16 George Machitidze 2013-07-28 08:39:29 UTC
It didn't ask anything

a) I had Fedora-original 2.7.1, then manually compiled RPM with 2.7.90 sources, installed all dependencies, same result:
[root@giomacdesk ~]# amarok -v
Qt: 4.8.4
KDE Development Platform: 4.10.5
Amarok: 2.7.90
b)
steps:
1. close amarok
2. disable kwallet
3. open amarok
4. close amarok
5. open amarok
6. write last.fm username/password in plugin settings
7. close amarok
8. open amarok
9. check configuration (file/plugin settings etc)
expected:
amarok must save last.fm username/password or ask whether to store it in rc file (if kwallet isn't available)
actual:
nothing is changed, username/password is not stored
c) content doesn't change when disabling wallet etc, kWalletUsage value is always 1

Hmm, did you first uninstall 2.7.1, or did you just replace 2.7.1 with 2.7.90? Did you install 2.7.90 to the same location as 2.7.1 was? When amarok is running, could you paste output of `lsof -p $(pidof amarok) | grep lastfm`?

I'm asking because it is technically possible (actually, it is quite common for people who have old system package and install the git version on top without tweaking environment variables) for 2.7.90 to pick up 2.7.1 plugins.

I'm totally unable to reproduce your bug and looking at the code, it should be *really* fixed by the commit above.

There is no way to have old files in the system.
I'm not using git, never ever installing anything without RPM. There is _NO WAY_ to have old files.

Okay, now I believe you, sorry for the mistrust. I've unfortunately spent 
quite some time debugging already fixed issues in past.

I'll prepare a debugging patch for you to apply. In the mean time, you may try 
running Amarok from console as `amarok --debug --nofork` and watch for any 
suspicious messages while you are saving the credentials.

That's it! I only tested with Amarok being denied access to KWallet and 
expected disabled KWallet would behave the same, but apparently not.

I think I can fix it pretty soon. Would you be able to test git version?
Comment 25 Matěj Laitl 2013-07-29 20:40:08 UTC
In fact, this is IMO a bug in KWallet (just reported as bug 322964). I'm going to work-around it anyway.

LastFmServiceConfig: prompt to save credentials in ASCII even if KWallet is disabled

I believe there is inconsistency in KWallet documentation/behaviour that
lead to assumptions not being fulfilled in credential-saving code. Lessen
the assumptions.

BUGFIXES:
 * Definitely fix a bug where storing Last.fm credentials in plain-text
   isn't offered when KWallet is disabled. (BR 315306)

Oh, good. In fact, the thing you already do (testing betas and RCs as they are 
released and reporting bugs) is the greatest way to help us making Amarok 
greater than ever, so thank *you*.
