| Summary: | With LUKS-encrypted disk's password saved in KWallet, mounting the disk shows a password dialog with the password already pre-populated in the password field, instead of just decrypting it without asking for interaction | ||

Comment: Linux Mint seems to have that rule, LUKS drives mount fully automatic In step 2, you're entering the password of the LUKS disk and not your sudo/root password, right? After step 3, are you saying that you see a dialog window asking you to enter the password for the LUKS disk, and the password is already filled in, but you have ti press the enter key to make it go away? At what point did you have to enter the sudo/root password? Step 1: click on the drive / automount step 2: the LUKS password is already inserted as its saved in KWallt step 3: I need to enter the sudo password to use udisks and mount it The LUKS password entry still requires me to press enter, which is kinda useless (should only show up if password was wrong). after this unneeded dialog comes the sudo dialog, where I have to normally enter the sudo password. This is needed because user cant use udisk it seems It's possible to suppress the sudo dialog if the distro sets up PolKit to not require authentication for that action. Let's focus on the "popup with password already in it" issue. I can reproduce that issue. Code in question lives in plasma-workspace/soliduiserver.cpp; moving to Plasma. I'll look into fixing it. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2745 Thank you! I dont know how often I wrote with you about some Plasma issues Nate Graham. Thanks a lot for your work! I will see that I can donate, and I will also try to get to know Plasma better and contribute what I can. Well don't thank me yet; my change isn't merged yet and in fact it doesn't even work properly. :) It needs some more work to get it in a state where we can consider merging it. But thank you for the kind words, and especially any donation! Donations really help. *** Bug 498934 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
