[gentoo-user] [OT] KDE wallet manager

[gentoo-user] [OT] KDE wallet manager

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

Sorry for going off-topic, but I can't see the answer on the KDE site and 
google hasn't helped.

I'm trying to run the KDE wallet manager but I get this in .xsession-
errors:

kwalletmanager(3054)/kdeui (Wallet): The kwalletd service has been 
disabled

On the other hand:

$ ps ax | grep wallet
 3054 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/kwalletmanager

And, from a konsole:

$ kwalletmanager
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before 
QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.

Dbus is running and its USE flag is in the portage environment. No 
startup errors were reported.

After quite a bit of poking around I still can't see how to get the 
wallet service going. Can anyone help, please? I upgraded to kde-4.9.3 
the other day when it hit the mirrors as stable. I haven't used the 
wallet service before but I think maybe I should.

There is a KDE-Users list where this stuff gets addressed. However I
asked the same questions the other day so I'll respond here in hopes
what I'm doing helps you.

This is a known issue for I don't know how long. Frustrating.

From System Settings

SystemSettings -> Account Details -> KDE Wallet

make sure it's enabled, then uncheck everything else except 'Show
manager in system tray' and hit apply.

For me, after starting an app that uses it, like Chrome, this gives me
a wallet in the system tray that I can then click on to get into the
wallet app for management of my stuff.

Hope this helps,
Mark

well, kwalletd is missing

ps ax | grep wallet 
 3011 ?        S      0:00 kdeinit4: kwalletd [kdeinit]      
 4181 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/kwalletmanager --kwalletd

Ah. I hadn't thought of that. I'll look into it; thanks.

How did they come up with that home for it? Maybe I'm just being dense 
again.

Certainly does - thank you Mark. I now have the service running with a 
wallet I can use (I hope). I'll try it again in the morning after a 
fresh start.
