[opensuse] disabling KDE wallet, openSUSE 13.2 with default KDE4
Hello: This is in openSUSE 13.2 with its default KDE4 (4.14.3). I am trying to disable KDE Wallet in Configure Desktop -> Common Appearance and Behavior -> Account Details -> KDE Wallet: I uncheck the "Enable the KDE wallet subsystem" checkbox. Then I click "Apply". The " Apply" button grays out. Then I go to the next config option or close the window. A message window appears titled "Apply Settings - System Settings" and saying "The settings of the current module have changed. Do you want to apply the changes or discard them?" I click "Apply". Another window titled "KDE Wallet Control Module - System Settings" appears saying: "Sorry, the system security policy didn't allow you to save the changes." I click OK. I go back to KDE Wallet settings: KDE Wallet tickbox is still on, KDE wallet hasn't been disabled. This is in a VNC session if it matters. How can I disable KDE Wallet? I don't want to configure it. Even better to get rid of this stuff competely? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

When you get a prompt for a password just hit enter. I think an empty password stops it's use. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

This is a good question and it has become a real PIA. This default that forces you to install passwords in kdewallet, as well as the gnome equivilent is a real PIA and screws up new users entirely.

Another KDE4 enhancement feature?
Get rid of it.
I deleted kwalletmanager package. It's OK if no one using the system wants to use it. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It's simple to uninstall it via Yast or choose not to install it when you do the install. Not only is it NOT a pain, it's quite useful. The only thing that's a pain is people moaning about it. -- Bob Smits <bob@rsmits.ca> "Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question.

Haven't you read the OP? The problem is not KDE Wallet itself but it's cannot be disabled by simply unticking 'use kde wallet' in system configuration. The only way to disable it is to configure it, which is paradox. Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Oh, the pain, the pain ... Of the lack of password recovery. Where's that little black book of passwords when I need it :-) -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

why moan about something that is not a pia and useful? You obviously have never had a situation where it has locked a user out of their own desktop. It is a tripwire for the user. There is no place for it on a desktop system unless someone wants to install it and live with those consequences. This gets further categorized as, we will shove this down your throat whether you want it or not. Such is life in the new Democratic Republic of the systemd OS. "On the sixth day of Hate Week, after the processions, the speeches, the shouting, the singing, the banners, the posters, the films, the waxworks, the rolling of drums and squealing of trumpets, the tramp of marching feet, the grinding of the caterpillars of tanks, the roar of massed planes, the booming of guns -- after six days of this, when the great orgasm was quivering to its climax and the general hatred of Eurasia had boiled up into such delirium that if the crowd could have got their hands on the 2,000 Eurasian war-criminals who were to be publicly hanged on the last day of the proceedings, they would unquestionably have torn them to pieces -- at just this moment it had been announced that Oceania was not after all at war with Eurasia. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Eurasia was an ally." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

How is it possible to lock yourself out of your desktop when using kwallet? It's not related to PAM in any way. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.

that's bullshit. It stores passwords into cryptogaphy and then they can't get into the scambled database and that locks you out of a score full of functions, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
