My vault disappeared seemingly randomly. The applet UI says, "No vaults have been set up" which is of course false; I did set up a vault, but it has gone missing. ~/.config/plasmavalutrc says the following: [/home/nate/.local/share/plasma-vault/Life Documentation.enc] activities= backend=cryfs lastStatus=1 mountPoint=/home/nate/Vaults/Life Documentation name=Life Documentation offlineOnly=false [EncryptedDevices] /home/nate/.local/share/plasma-vault/Life Documentation.enc=true [UI-notice] SkipNotice-cryfs-message=false SkipNotice-gocryptfs-message=false One thing to note is that I compile cryfs from source because it's not packaged in Fedora. So I'm currently using version 0.11.0. Could this be the issue? I'm willing to admit that my own actions may be to blame here, but even so, the fact the no error message appears anywhere in the UI is really really bad. We really need to display an error in the UI somewhere if for some reason a vault becomes inaccessible. For a non-developer, this is loss of precious data.
Found the issue: the kded module was crashing due to unrelated other things; the built-from-source cryfs was not involved. We should probably bubble up a sensible error message when this happens.
Is vault kded module crashing or ...?
Either just not loaded or crashing. Presumably if it was crashing it would also not be loaded.
I am also currently facing this "No vaults have been set up" issue. I even deleted everything and started over with rm -rf .local/share/plasma-vault/ .local/share/cryfs/ Vaults/* .config/plasmavaultrc but still I cannot see any vault. How can I verify this is kded crashing or another issue?
