[gentoo-user] The KDE wallet

[gentoo-user] The KDE wallet

[reader]

Anytime I have to login to a site A window pops up from KDE wallet
offering to save it or whatever.  I never want this but I see no
button or choice to tell KDE never to show it again for any site.

Close as it gets is a button saying `never for this site'

How to turn this `helpful' offer ... OFF?

My limited experience with wallet is that is was a hassle  which is why it was limited experience <G>.  If "Never again for this site doesn't work" try opening the wallet configuration - click or right click on the wallet icon if I remember right and see if you any settings there work.  

Wallet worked fine for Knode - at least it didn't ask too much but for Kmail it asked every single time I logged in.  I finally turned Kwallet off.

There is a tickbox that is selected to "Enable KDE Wallet".  Of course,
if you do this, you will remove the wallet functionality completely. 
However, you do have the capability to create multiple wallets for those
times you want or don't want it.

open kwalletmanager (click on the symbol in tray).

Click on settings

the first point:
 'Activate KDE Walletsystem' or so ;)

KDE Brieftaschensytem aktivieren in german.

deactivate it (uncheck the box), save settings, close.

Or you can set it never to close and not to notify when an application
want to write to it. Then you'll only have one dialog per session.

I find Kwallet incredibly useful, as it means I can use lots of different
passwords for various sites and servers without having to remember them
all. It's saved me a fortune in Post-It notes :)

yeah, kwallet manages 3 mail accounts and passwords for over 30 sites for me.

It would be awfull to remember all these - impossible! 
The alternatives would be post-its or using only four or five passwords. Both 
is not very convincing.

In short, I love kwallet ;)

Its not in my panel... at least I see no icon as a few others have
suggested.   Someone has posted how to get to it from control-center
so all is well.  Turned off... never to annoy again.

This is starting to turn into a regular mystery.  I don't have a
wallet icon in panel anywhere and it is not at the address you posted.

 Control Center/ Security & Privacy/ nothing here about `wallet'.

Under CC/Security & Privacy/ I have:
 crypto
 password & user account
 privacy

None of those have anything about kde wallet under them either.

I've got into the habit of hitting Return twice, so I don't notice that
any more.

You only get the panel icon when the wallet opens.

OK, lets do this the hard way.

First verify that you have kwalletmanager installed:

eix kwalletmanager
* kde-base/kwalletmanager
Available versions: 3.4.3 3.5.2 3.5.3
Installed: 3.5.3
Homepage: http://www.kde.org/
Description: KDE Wallet Management Tool

If not, then install it so you can disable it. ;-)

 From the online manual for KControl 
(http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/kcontrol/control-center-run-indiv.html): 


kcmshell --list

The KControl module that you want is:

kwalletconfig - KDE Wallet Configuration

To run separately from KControl:

kcmshell kwalletconfig


HTH,
Roy

and there you can deactivate it.

Surprisingly I did need to install it first.... So where was the
dialog coming from....

(My problem is solved so above may be taken as rhetorical I guess)
