[opensuse] Wireless networking fail > KDW wallet interference precedes segmentation fault
KDE Wallet stopped me connecting my wireless network. And now the network config has crashed. I can't connect. Not only that, KDE Wallet doesn't know when it's not wanted. I keep telling it to go away. It keeps coming back. KDE Wallet --------------- If I must use KDE wallet for this opensuse system to work, then it should say: "you *must* do this or your system won't work". If KDE Wallet is optional, then it should learn to know when it's not wanted. If I tell it to go away, I do not want it to keep coming back. If there is a compelling reason to use KDE wallet, it is not apparent from the description it gives when it comes up in the way it does. If there is a good reason for using wallet, it has not conveyed this information. I suspect there is not. This did no become more than an irritation until it came to networking. Prior to attempting to establish a connection KDE Wallet came up every time I wanted to put in a password. I pressed <ESC> and it went away. KDE Wallet and Wireless Networking ---------------------------------------------- But KDE Wallet prevented me from establishing a connection to my wireless network. I configured the network. But when I tried to connect, it would say, "waiting for authorization", and it would soon become apparent that the KDE Wallet config window had popped up in the background. If I told KDE Wallet to go away, the network app would stop trying to establish a connection. The wallet was forcing itself upon me. So I figured I would have to use it against my wishes. When I addressed the KDE Wallet dialogue, however, it provided a tick box on the first page that I would have to click to indicate that I wanted to use it. So it seemed I did have an option after all. What a relief! Maybe now I could connect my network and KDE Wallet would go away for good! So having not ticked the box I clicked <Next>. I kept having to click <Next> to skip through the setup process, studiously not entering any information. Then I clicked okay and the wallet went away. Hooray! But then when I tried to connect the network, it said "waiting for authorization" again (though you have to squint really hard to see it). And nothing more happened. The KDE Wallet didn't come back. There was nothing I could do. I had searched out the KDE Wallet config again. It had a useful looking interface with a tickbox prominently offering to <Enable kDE Wallet>. So this did imply again that I did not have to enable it. I have to trust this, don't I? Despite appearances, I have to trust that I don't need to enable the wallet to use the networking, don't I? I tried looking at <Manage Connections>. It showed the connection I had set up. But I had trouble getting the details up. When I selected the connection and pressed <Edit>, nothing happened. Nothing happened either when I double clicked on the connnection. After an inordinate amount of time - and quite by chance, really, that I was still in the room - an error came up. It said: "Error: KDE Control Module - Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply; the message bus security policy blocked the reply; the reply time out expired; or the network connection was broken". So it looked like KDE Wallet was still in the way. I went to check the wireless password dialogue and the password was no longer there. It was when I entered this last time that the KDE Wallet first came up, if I remember correctly. I entered the password again. It failed to establish a conenction. It is not very good at reporting what's going on. It also doesn't know when it already has a config window open for a particular network. In clicking to open the network config I somehow managed to open more than one. I sent one off with a password and it came back with nothing. I sent another one off. And it crashed. It reported a segmentation fault: ---------------------------------------- Executable: kcmshell4 PID: 20187 Signal: Segmentation fault (11) I'm afraid I was not able to report this in the usual way because I don't have a connection. I was unable to report it to your forum because - surprise! - it has proved probitively difficult getting a login and actually using it. (I've got logins to bugzilla, launchpad, stackexchange etc, easily enough, why does your's have to be so difficult - and why can't I just use one of those other logins?). Perhaps someone would be kind enough to file this somewhere where it might get dealt with?

Its not clear that he want's to disable the wallet for everything, just for wifi. (Worrying about wifi passwords being stored in cleartext files on you home machine is pretty pointless, given that wifi has an effective range of less than 150 feet. I've always thought putting wifi passwords win the wallet was overkill). -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Seems quite clear from his OP that the Wallet is the last thing he wants on his machine.

Say you were using Firefox a few years ago.
It was bloated and slow. Chrome comes along. You couldn't give a hoot.
But Firefox is really going pants. You even tried Opera. More and more
people are saying about Chome.
You're like, 'so what's all this about Chrome, then'.
They say, 'it looks really nice see - it's sort of minimalist
software, it just browses really well - and it's fast'.
You say whatever. But okay. And the next time your work is knocked out
by Firefox going up the spout you're like, 'that's enough. let's try
this Chrome thing'.
You don't want to use Chrome. You don't want to interrupt your work.
You don't want to have to learn about whether one browser is better
then another or why. You don't want to have to change from one app to
another. There is not enough time in the day to dick about with this
sort of thing unless it's your *hobby*. But you have no choice. So you
install Chome. And if you are lucky, you get back on with your freekin
work.
And then this wallet thing comes along and says, 'do you want me to
store your passwords? you might like it!'
And you're like, 'no, go away'.
That's not to say my o/s shouldn't tell me things about what it's
doing. It should tell me more. It never tells me enough. But it should
tell me without condition.

I'm sorry, you are assuming I either know or care how the passwords
are stored on my computer. I'm a user. I couldn't give a stuff. I
trust my machine only so much, because much of the IT media concerns
how inherenlty insecure everyone's passwords and password systems are.
But I trust it far enough. Then it comes along and says it wants to do
something fancy pants with my passwords without really giving a good
reason. I say, no, go away, till I've heard enough to convince me its
worth my time and attention. It's not though is it, this wallet - it's
just a nuissance, isn't it? That's a rhetorical question. I don't care
for the answer.

If anyone wants to look at this as a bug, please note the networking
is now working. Another problem vector was that I was using the wrong
password.
These things can be deduced from this:
. The segmentation fault still occured.
This is still a bug. The invalid password may have been a contributing
factor. KDE Wallet may even have been a contributing factor. But it
looks more likely related to the config systems' hanging and not
handling multiple requests to open very well.
. KDE Wallet may not have been interfering with the network manager
. KDE Wallet still nevertheless does not know when it is not wanted.
Nor does it give a convincing case to be used.
. The network config does handles wrong password ineligantly
Given a wrong password, the network config dialogue closes and GUI
attention is passed to the network manager notification panel. The
notification gives no indication whatsoever that the password was
wrong. It just stops. The user is left in the dark. When the network
config is reoppened, the password is gone. You have to retype it.
So with freezing, segmentation fault, multiple windows, poor
communication, unestablished connection, unsaved password, the network
manager gives the distinct impression that an incorrect password may
be the least of your troubles.
It is like many, many linux user experiences, frustrating, despairing,
disappointing, time-consuming, troublesome, heart-breaking; but ever
hopeful and eternally grateful because for all our pain and hardship
(our long-suffering dedication to the cause, our denial that really
Linux is a shoddy, perpetually half-finished, bug-ridden operating
system and a curse on one's free time) we are still not worthy.
Mark.

Actually, take that back. It's still not working even with the right password. It did work for a minute. Then after hibernation, it won't connect again. Here's the present routine: . enter correct wireless key/password into netw config dialogue . press okay (netw manager says it's connecting / awaiting authorisation & netw config says 'connected') . Watch while the netw mngr fails to establish a connection ( It just sits there saying 'awaiting authorisation', like it's waiting for some sort of intervention. But there's no password prompt. I put the password in just now anyway. So what's it waiting for? Perhaps networking simply doesn't work unless you use the wallet. The wallet then should tell you there is no choice. But anyway, the authorisation hasn't worked. So let's try putting in the password again in the only place where it will go in - the netw config dialogue: ) . open the netw config dialogue again (the password you have just entered has disappeared from the dialogue - it's blank, not saved - is this why it isn't authorising, because when you enter the password, it just get's lost somewhere?) . So you type in the wireless password again and go back to the beginning. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There is a quirk with Network Manager whereby after the first request for a password, if you need to change the settings again subsequent prompts appear in a 'pop-under' dialogue. It's very easy to not realize it's there. Look on the taskbar for an entry with the key symbol. It'll probably read something like 'system policy prevents blah blah...' If you set this in the connection dialog as a system connection (available to any user) it will always prompt when you try to edit the connection in any way, but you might not see the prompt. Along with that setting there's also the checkbox for 'connect automatically'. You may have selected that already but because you didn't see nor confirm the additional password prompts the change probably hasn't been saved. As for KWallet, on the first prompt to use the service, I simply navigate through the dialogs selecting 'simple setup' or whatever it is (the default) and then opt not to use it and store passwords in plain text. After that, KWallet goes away forever more, unless you initiate it in another program. Simples.

I had this problem before. I haven't read the whole thread, but since it doesn't seem to work after hibernation, this may work for you. Have you tried reloading the wifi device module? I have a wifi dongle for my desktop. The same thing would happen after waking from sleep, NetworkManager wanted my wifi password. Even if I typed it in right, it just would never work. In my case, the issue was the wifi device and not NetworkManager. I configured power management to reload the wifi module: $ cat /etc/pm/sleep.d/98ath9k_htc #!/bin/bash # # Reinstall the ath9k_htc module when waking up from sleep. This way # the purdy green light turns on... . $PM_UTILS_LIBDIR/functions case "$1" in hibernate|suspend) # Do nothing special when sleeping or hibernating ;; thaw|resume) # Unload the ath9k_htc module /sbin/modprobe -r ath9k_htc # Wait a moment for the module to be fully unloaded sleep 1 # Load the ath9k_htc module /sbin/modprobe ath9k_htc ;; *) ;; esac exit 0 Just change the module name to the one that is used for your wifi device (e.g. ath9k_htc). This may work when waking (thawing) from hibernation. Cheers, Alvin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
