After having read Valentin Rusu's article announcing kwalletd-gpg, I thought I'd have a look. I discovered that my own normal kwallet manager (version 4.10.5-1.92.3-x86_64) is not launching at all. I ran it from a Terminal window and got the following error. I am running openSUSE 12.3. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it with yast and that didn't help either.

Code: Select all

kwalletd(14484): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server:  "Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11"

kwalletd(14483): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.

what happens if you run

Code: Select all

export DISPLAY=:0.0; kwalletmanager

Nothing happened, it just got a blank prompt

When I run

Code: Select all

sudo kwalletd

again, I get the same error as before and I have upgraded to KDE 4.11 in the meantime... kwalletmanager 4.11.0-63.2-x86_64

I have an NVidia graphics card with nouveau drivers, if that helps.

different error when running

sudo kwalletmanager

when using sudo you're trying to run a gui app using a command designed for command line apps, to run a gui app as root use kdesu

could you start a new instance of Konsole and try the kwalletmanager again without su, sudo or kdesu

Thank you for the explanation

If I just try to launch from the KDE Menu, nothing happens but if I run

Code: Select all

kdesu kwalletmanager

Then I get the wallet icon in the Task Manager Panel, then I can manage my wallets

yea but if you run "kdesu kwalletmanager" you are running it as root

all the su utilites are used to run something as a different user (Root being the default)

How are you launching this terminal, and which terminal program is it? It sounds like either some script is unsetting DISPLAY and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, or you are trying to use a virtual terminal.

I am using Konsole 2.11 from KDE 4.11, which I launch directly from the KDE Favourites menu.

Can you check to see if the environment variables "DISPLAY" and "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" are set in a freshly launched Konsole window?

Sorry, but I don't know how to check those things. Would you guide me?

Try running these two commands.

Code: Select all

echo $DISPLAY
echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

If a blank line is output - they are not set or are empty.

Thank you

Code: Select all

echo $DISPLAY
:0


Code: Select all

cho $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

That output is fine. Running "kwalletmanager" should result in KWalletManager being able to launch without a problem - although it may immediately go into the system tray, into the Hidden Icons area. Is this the case?
