[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?

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.

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.

HTH,

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.

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.

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

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)

Hmm, I'll have to go back and  look at it again. I wanted to use it for the same reason you do - to handle all those passwords but maybe my use was flawed.  I'll check it out again.

Thanks.

No, you got it right the first time.  Its just more clicky clack
annoying useless baloney.  a Waste of time.  People have too short of
memories and it is.  For my shortness problem I use an encrypted
directory where running a script I wrote `jkfind ARG' at a prompt will
produce any password or uid setting out of dozens of them.

No wasted clicky clack and no annoying diaglog box suddenly springing
out of nowhere usually obscuring something you are trying to see.
