Hello list,
Until this morning I've had no real problems with KMail and co. for quite a
while, but something's upset the wallet system so that my password is no
longer recognised when I start KMail-2. This is what I've tried:
1. Re-created a blank /home partition and restored from yesterday's backup.
(Yesterday's setup was working nicely.)
No difference, so:
2. Deleted ~/kde4/share/apps/kwallet (while not running live) and rebooted.
No difference there either.
Is there something I can restore from backup to enable me to use the wallet
again - perhaps something in /etc/ssl or /var/tmp? Maybe I need to remerge the
wallet packages, or maybe I'll have to create an entirely new user for myself.
I hoped I'd seen the last of that kind of masochism.
In case it's relevant, the appearance of this problem coincided with a new
kernel, 4.9.0, which I compiled as usual and rebooted. I just got a blank
screen. I had to revert to 4.8.14 and rebuild the associated modules before I
could boot, and then fsck ran to check all the file systems.

Peter
