Description Davor Cubranic 2011-02-13 20:31:40 UTC
Created attachment 57222 [details]
Screenshot of the empty kdewallet

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

At startup, I was asked for my wallet password, as usual. But now the kdewallet is completely empty, no folders for password, input fields, anything. (See attached)

I don't see any error messages on the screen, but then again, I've no idea which log file(s) to look in for kwallet errors.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Autostart script that triggers the bug

The problem appears to be with an autostart script that talks to kwallet over dbus in order to get the pass phrase for my ssh key. When I disabled the script and restarted, everything is in order with the wallet.

Putting the attached file into ~/.kde/Autostart will reproduce the bug.
Comment 2 Davor Cubranic 2011-02-14 07:02:07 UTC
Not that it's the second invocation of kwallet-askpass.sh in the autoscript that causes the error. Having only one (for the default identity) works fine.

The script that talks to kwallet over DBUS

The autostart script from attachment #57238 [details] relies on this script to actually talk to kwallet over DBUS.

Possibly a duplicate of 254198
Comment 5 Vincent Petry 2013-10-04 22:27:29 UTC
@Davor are you still able to reproduce this ?

I didn't manage to reproduce the crash using your scripts with KDE 4.10.5.
Maybe I did something wrong: the script never returns any password.

Could you try again ?

FYI, bug 254198 is fixed in KDE SC 4.11.2
Comment 7 Davor Cubranic 2013-10-05 03:09:41 UTC
Sorry, I can't test with a more recent version of KDE because I don't use it any more.

Sorry to hear about that, but still thanks for your feedback.
Comment 9 Vincent Petry 2013-10-07 07:21:58 UTC
This morning when turning on my laptop and logging in to KDE this issue happened again.
At startup I had knetworkmanager (wifi password) + owncloud client that were accessing kwallet. ownCloud is using dbus and the string I saw in the dialog was the one from ownCloud.
This caused kwallet to bug again, with the following symptoms:
1) Couldn't connect to the internet as knetworkmanager was unable to retrieve the password
2) ownCloud couldn't connect either
3) When I tried kwalletmanager, it also also asked for the password but upon entering it my wallet appeared empty.

I think this ticket should be reopened.

I'll activate debugging for next time this happens (it doesn't always happen, race condition).

It seems it's more likely to happen when the computer has just been turned on and the kde libs haven't all be preloaded yet.
Comment 10 Vincent Petry 2013-10-07 07:25:22 UTC
This is on KDE 4.10.5 on openSUSE 12.3.
ownCloud client is version 1.4.1 and is using libqtkeychain0-0.20130221 to access kwallet through dbus.
Comment 11 Christoph Holtermann 2013-10-30 07:13:32 UTC
Has happened to me too. kdewallet is empty. I use ownCloud, too.

I had some trouble getting it to work again yesterday. I reinstalled kwallet. But what it yesterday and actually just now reenabled was disabling and reenabling it in the system settings. 

BTW: Kwalletmanager was open in this process and crashed ( went to a non reactive state trying over and over again to connect to kwalletd ). Ctrl-C in shell where I started it from took care of that.

Additional irregular behaviour in this situation described in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327086
Comment 13 Christoph Holtermann 2013-11-05 10:19:49 UTC
Error messages repeating in shell: 

kwalletmanager(4953)/kdeui (Wallet): Couldn't start kwalletd: "KDEInit kann „/usr/bin/kwalletd“ nicht starten"
Comment 14 themicahjames 2013-12-12 12:15:27 UTC
I am experiencing the same issues kwallet is broken, wifi won't connect because it is waiting for authorization. I was doing a workaround to open manage connections/kde control module for network connections. I get an error "did not receive a reply. possible causes include the remote application did not send a reply" I then click ok enter the password for the wifi access point I need to connect to and then it connects. I have temporarily disabled the kwallet but would like this fixed so that owncloud and wifi work again. willing to test to get it working again.
