Annoying KDEWallet

[Oliver Ruebenacker]

Hello,

I used to enter wireless passwords once in the wireless configuration and
then it could connect to these networks repeatedly without asking me
anything again.

But then KDEWallet appeared out of nowhere, and every time I wanted to
connect to a wireless network, the KDEWallet came up and asked me to enter
a password.

Now I have a new system and want to never be bothered by KDEWallet again,
but the wireless configuration seems to forget all passwords unless I use
KDEWallet again.

How can I get back to the non-annoying behavior? I have KDE on Fedora 19.

Thanks!

Best,
     Oliver

I was using KDE years, but now, when there came these kdewallet nepomuk
akonadi etc.. Changed XFCE4, working like charm and no annoying side
effects...
Those KDE GNOME are becoming non usable as windows is, mammoth
decease... No good...

Click your start/kickoff button and type "wallet"; one option that 
should appear is "kwalletmanager" - after clicking that, an icon for 
"KDE Wallet Manager" should appear in your lower right system tray; you 
might have to click on the little arrow to reveal it. Click on it and 
that should open a window where you may find the configuration options 
for KDEWallet you seek.

I got round this (I think) by setting a null (empty) password for
KDEWallet.

If you (re)set your kwallet password to be empty/blank, it won't prompt you 
anymore.

(run kwalletmanager, which may end up being hidden in your systray if there 
are no currently-open wallets, to change passwords).

Another issue, if you set the option "system connection" or "all users may 
connect to this network", then the secrets will be managed by NetworkManager 
globally, not in per-user wallets.
