[opensuse] kwallet and ksshaskpass when logging in via kdm
Hi everybody, when logging in from kdm ksshaskpass wants to know my passphrase for my ssh-key, that's fine. And because I stored that password within kwallet, ksshaskpass asks kwallet to hand over that passphrase and I have to unlock that wallet by entering the passphrase for the wallet. The problem is that I just cannot enter this passphrase, and - when hitting ESC - I also cannot enter the passphrase ksshaskpass asks me for. The cursor is blinking in the "password"-field but I cannot type anything there. Can anybody give me a hint how to fix this? To clarify on my complaint/request: I am not interested in a pam-plugin or similar that automagiacally unlocks the wallet when logging in via kdm, I just want to be able to enter the password for kwallet and/or ksshaskpass. Currently I am running the KDE 4.8 packages from the OS 12.1 KDE Factory repository but as far as I can remember this also doesn't work with KDE 4.7.4. Any help is highly appreciated - thanks in advance. Ciao, Fabian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Long time bug in KDE. At that time in the process, input grabbing seems unavailable so kde apps can't receive input. I had the problem with ksshaskpass being unable to reads the passphrase. My solution was a hard one in that I simply removed ksshaskpass and marked it taboo in zypper. Now I get the simpler xsshaskpass which works as I expect.

Hi Philipp,

thank you for that information, so I can stop trying different packages, compiling from source code and things like that. The .kde/Autostart-solution works fine for me, so I prefer it to xsshaskpass.
