When plugging in an external hard drive encrypted with lukscrypt, I get a dialogue box popping up saying "Password – KDE Dæmon: 'WD My Book 1130' needs a password to be accessed. Please enter a password." The password field already contains my password, so I just have to hit enter. KDE should automatically attempt the saved password, and only show the popup window if that fails (this is how gnome does it). The problem for me is that I use udev to trigger a backup script. This popup window means my script requires user input before it'll run. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect encrypted hard drive. Actual Results: KDE asks to confirm password. Expected Results: KDE should automatically submit the saved password.
Will fix for 4.11 and if easy backport to 4.10 Sorry for the delay on replying.
No worries. Thank you for the fix.

Lukas, can you check if these patches are correct? They will also need porting to udisk2 (I only have udisk1 in this machine). Thanks !
The patches look good but I'd prefer actual testing by the reported before pushing this into git (and also porting it to udisks2 :)
Am I the "reported"? I'm happy to test it, but I'm not sure how. If you could point me in the right direction, I'm happy to give it a try. Thanks.
Yes, I meant "reporter" of course, nasty typo :) Patches are included for you to try out
No problem! :) I was also unsure as to what you meant, because I'm new to the bug-fix–testing process. I meant to ask if you could point me in the right direction of how to apply these patches? Thanks.
Which distribution are you using? You will need to compile software (in this case kdelibs and kde-runtime), so first thing you have to do is install the basics. In case you are on debian based distribution you can try apt-get build-dep kdelibs apt-get build-dep kde-runtime Also you may want to install git.
I'm using Kubuntu. But I fear I need (much) more information than that. Is there a webpage that can take me through the whole process step by step? Cheers.
This bug is reported on libsolid which is the kdelibs4 version of the solid library. It is now in maintenance mode. If you think it should still be fixed in the KDE Frameworks 5 version of solid please move it to or report a bug on frameworks-solid.
I'm not using encryption any more, so I'll just close this as invalid.
