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.

I use KDE Wallet and don't see this behavior so I'd think that it's just
settings.  Don't want to assume that though.  ;-]

Under "Settings -> Configure Wallet ..." on the "Wallet
Preferences" tab
I have "Enable the KDE Wallet subsystem" checked and the bottom two
talking about the system tray.  On the "Access Control" tab I have the
"Prompt when an application accesses a wallet" checked and under each
wallet (I have two) all the applications have the policy "Always Allow."
Two of the apps there are Google Chrome and Network Manager.

When I first log in, e.g., after rebooting to use a new kernel, I think
I get prompted for the KDE Wallet password when I use Chrome.  That only
happens once.  I never get asked for a password by Network Manager and I
have it set to "Store connection secrets" in "secure storage
(encrypted)."  However, I can't say for sure that Network Manager uses
KDE Wallet because when I look at the "Applications" tab in KDE Wallet's
main window I don't see it listed in the "applications currently
connected to this wallet" section.

I don't think that Network Manager uses Gnome Wallet.  Evolution does
and I get prompted by Gnome Wallet for a password when I open Evolution
for the first time after rebooting/logging in.  By that time a network
connection is already set up.

Check your KDE Wallet settings and post back what you have.  I agree
that prompts like what you describe are annoying at the least.

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.
