[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed Network without kWalet?
This is NOT happening on my asus-g73 laptop, only on my Athlon desktop. As far as I can tell the settings are the same but not the behavior. For some reason when I want to connect to my router (and printer) the network dialog asks me for the root password, which is OK. But then it also wants to store that password which I'm not interested in. Until recently I could just give the root password, then cancel on kWalet, and follow by giving the network password. This gave me volatile access until the contact would broke for whatever reason (it IS the procedure I prefer since I do not beleieve ion storing any password anywhere. which file should I copy over from the laptop? I have just about all updates in on both machines. TIA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
The password dialog should have a small "disk" icon. If you click on this, you can choose where the password should be stored, one option is "Do not store".

thanks, I don't see such an icon on either the first dialog for root pwd, or the second kWalet dialog whih I just cancel, or on the third one which asks for the router pwd. Does any particular package need to be installed for this icon to show? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

No, it should be in the dialog that asks for the wireless password, at the right side of the password text entry field. Or open the connection editor, edit the connection and switch to the "Wireless Security" tab, it's there too.

it isn't there (screenshot attached)

There it is. It doesn't matter which of the 3 options I select. If I select 'Ask each time' then the password box is deactivated, this being a setup dialog. Departure state: disconnected Step-1 right click : configure network line: EDIT General tab: check: Automatically connect check: ALL-USERS WiFi tab: Network id is GOOD WiFiSecurity tab: WPA2 Personal, Option is : Ask each time Input box does not allow pwd entry Nothing changed, so CANCEL Step-2 Right click network: CONNECT button request root pwd, given request kde Walet pwd: CANCEL request network pwd: GiVEN Annunciator: "Connection Activated" Test with browser: ================== I can call up router admin page with defaults I can print with wifi printer ..but no internet connection I have a very similar installation for testing a 250gb SSD. It could be a clone of this one, I'm not sure anymore. All my OS partitions are exactly the same size. On that one networking is OK just as it is on my laptop. On both the ssd and laptop instances I can get on the internet without kWalet regardless of what password handling option I choose, on this desktop i cannot regardles of of what password handling option I choose. I could just dd the ssd instance over and I'm sure that 'my' problem would be solved but there IS a problem and I just as soon know what it is :-)

That sounds like the network connection is working, but you don't have a default route set (check this with "ip route" or "route"), or (assuming you access your router and printer by IP) you don't have working nameservers configured (check /etc/resolv.conf and try to ping an IP like 8.8.8.8). If you give a more specific description of "no internet connection", it's probably easier to find out what's really wrong. Oh, it could even be that your internet connection was really down while you tested this ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Alles wird gut.
