Hi, The paths are stored as absolute paths in $HOME/.config/plasmavaultrc so that is the place you need to update them. Advised approach: killall kded5 edit the file - replace all /home/OLD_USERNAME with /home/NEW_USERNAME kded5 This should do the trick. Thanks, Ivan! It worked! I think it'd be great if paths were relative to the home directory. Wdyt? Some FUSE modules don't like relative paths, so this would need to be handled by Vault. I'm trying to keep the 'smart' functionality to a minimum - to keep the attack surface as small as possible. I'll have to think about $HOME and whether it can be used to trick the user somehow. |
SUMMARY I upgraded from Kubuntu 20.10 to Kubuntu 21.10, but my old vault isn't showing up in the widget, even though I can see the files in `~/.local/share/plasma-vault/VAULT-NAME.enc/*` (there's a bunch of 3-character directories and a `cryfs.config`) and the directory `~/Vaults/VAULT-NAME` exists (but it's empty, as expected). Any idea what I need to do for the vault to be recognized? During the upgrade, I also chose a different username, so my `/home/{username}` directory is different. Maybe `cryfs.config` is using absolute paths? The file seems to be binary and I don't know which format it uses, so I can't tell what's inside. I can create new vaults without issues.
