Both gnome-keyring and kwallet are installed and seem to be running. From what I understand from https://bitbucket.org/kang/python-keyring-lib the keyring lib should choose the most appropriate keyring implementation itself, however, it seems to choose the gnome-keyring which hits this bug https://bitbucket.org/kang/python-keyring-lib/issue/65/dbusexception-method… and consequently fails to get my password (which is stored in kwallet anyway) adding a call to keyring.core.init_backend() before line 804 of conf.py https://github.com/openSUSE/osc/blob/e2dc1d7fe655d61654d0c442704320fa3e5688… seems to fix this (keyring then uses my kwallet and retrieves my password). However, this method should have been called already during the keyring import if I understand it correctly - see /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/core.py adding this call directly after the line loading the module however does not seem to be sufficient Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot into KDE 2. store osc password in kwallet 3. get into an osc checkout and use "osc up" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=780621 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=780621#c0 Summary: YaST Installer continues to ignore low-vision accessibility Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: suseROCKS(a)bryen.com QAContact: jsrain(a)suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0 YaST uses a bright white background for the dialogue windows during installation. This is a big no-no for low-vision users as well as for people with aging eyes. Typically, many low-vision users are extremely sensitive to white on screen. We tend to set our desktops to have a black background with white font. As my vision continues to deteriorate, I am having more difficulty with each openSUSE release to be able to see the screen and select my options. While I know there is a text-based install, even the default for YaST-ncurses is not a low-vision friendly color and requires you to edit a file to change the default color options. (I've never tried this during actual install, only during normal installed usage of openSUSE.) That is simply not an optimal solution for low-vision users, especially new users who may not have experience in how to configure in the background. Please devise a plan to provide alternative visual options for users. Perhaps a toggle-button that automatically inverts the colors of the install dialogues or alternative graphics screen that provides a darker background. This is not a protest statement, but a factual one... with my continued declining vision, if this is not fixed by 12.3, it is quite possible that I will no longer be able to install and use openSUSE.
