Description trennor 2019-02-19 11:53:25 UTC
SUMMARY My previous hdd was displaying block errors, so I replaced it with an SSD hdd, and a fresh install of Fedora 29 with updates. Installed KDE, unaware it is an "enhanced" version, including a new kwalletmanager, of which I was also unaware it is an "enhanced" version. Now, kwm cannot open my old wallet. It produces "Error 9, possibly wrong password." BULLSHIT! kwm has been buggered. The password given is correct.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load an older wallet, kwallet3 or kwallet4, I don't remember under which it was started, but it shouldn't bloody matter!! Wallets should be retro, something which seems lost on the "developers."

2. Try to open it using the same pw under which it was encrypted.
3.

OBSERVED RESULT "Error 09, possibly wrong password."


EXPECTED RESULT open the bloody wallet! Give access to the passwords and other data stored there, so the users who put their faith in your product are not stranded for want of their passwords through no fault of their own.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Fedora 29 & updates
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Qt Version: 5.11.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The traditional icons do not show. There's just a "cheap" looking little "window" which appears and very little works on it. "Import wallet" does not work, nothing happens. Might I also suggest that new versions be completely tested before they're released so again, we're not set up for failure when something like this  happens?

For future reference, please avoid profanity in bug reports. Would you perform free work for a stranger who was swearing at you or the fruits of your labors?
