Bug ID: 404551
Summary: KDE Kwalletmanager will not open KDE4 wallets; Icon
Manager does not show
Product: kwalletmanager
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY My previous hdd was displaying block errors, so I replaced it with an
SSD hdd, and a fresh install of Fedora 29 with updates. Installed KDE, unaware
it is an "enhanced" version, including a new kwalletmanager, of which I was
also unaware it is an "enhanced" version. Now, kwm cannot open my old wallet.
It produces "Error 9, possibly wrong password." BULLSHIT! kwm has been
buggered. The password given is correct.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load an older wallet, kwallet3 or kwallet4, I don't remember under which it
was started, but it shouldn't bloody matter!! Wallets should be retro,
something which seems lost on the "developers."
2. Try to open it using the same pw under which it was encrypted.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT "Error 09, possibly wrong password."
EXPECTED RESULT open the bloody wallet! Give access to the passwords and other
data stored there, so the users who put their faith in your product are not
stranded for want of their passwords through no fault of their own.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Fedora 29 & updates
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Qt Version: 5.11.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The traditional icons do not show. There's just a "cheap" looking little
"window" which appears and very little works on it. "Import wallet" does not
work, nothing happens. Might I also suggest that new versions be completely
tested before they're released so again, we're not set up for failure when
something like this happens?
