Description Volker Kuhlmann 2006-06-14 12:25:50 UTC
Version:           1.1 (using KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" , SUSE 10.1)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.16.13-4-default

I saved my ~/.kde/ of SUSE 10.0 before doing a fresh install of 10.1. Trying to copy over my previous kwallet data, all of the following:

1) cp old/wallet.kwl ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet
2) in kwalletmanager: file->import old/kwallet.kwl

ended up with the html form map data moved into the binary section and therefore being useless.

kwalletmanager is unable to import, load, or do anything useful with the wallet.kwl file of previous versions.

The only way to fix it is to rpm -e kdeutils3* and to reinstall the kdeutils3 of SUSE 10.0, then running that kwalletmanager and exporting the thing as xml. Then rpm -e kdeutils3* again and installing the packages form SUSE 10.1.

Importing the xml file still produced trouble with data in the binary section instead of the map section. Do icons in the kwallets window sit on top of each other?

I have the same wallet files that I had when KWallet was first introduced. I've never seen the problem that you mention.

I can assure you that the problem exists as described, and it took me quite a few hours to get my wallet content back into a usable state.

I had started with deleting all my KDE-related setting (~/.kde/, etc) from $HOME, before starting KDE for the first time in this user account. Fresh install of SUSE 10.1.

Perhaps the problem has something to do with the fact that KDE's ssl system completely fails on some issuers' CA certs and giving some bull about the server being down (it doesn't even ask whether I want to accept the cert anyway), until I have made any change to the SSL-related settings and saved the whole lot?
