KWALLET BUGed? ERROR -3 on start

Thu Aug 07, 2014 2:04 pm
HI all,
After an upgrade on my debian/sid, I experencied a weird behavior with the result to not be able to connect to wifi connexion anymore with kde ( it still works on gnome or xfce..).
At starts, Kwallet open and after I entered the passsword It returns something like (translated from french) :
Code: Select all
ERROR when opening wallet "Kwallet".
Please try again. (Error code : -3  this is not a wallet file)

After that the wallet seems to be open so I don't get much here... but there is something wrong.
I am quite sure it is not the only reason I can not connect to my wifi with kde, since even manually it fails, but that will be a start to repair things.
Any help will be appreciate ( especially what is error -3)
Regards,
Laurent

Can you please search for *.kwd files in ~/.kde*?

Code: Select all
 ls -R *.kwd
ls: cannot access ..  *.kwd: no such file or directory
 

I really don't think there is such a file in my ~/.kde directory .

I found a solution by creating a new defaut wallet .
Now everythings works fine...
I still don't understand much but hey it works.

Hi there,

just a note about this problem:
it has an open bug on bugs.kde.org.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161504

As for now, people getting this problem apparently had a crash of their computer, and on reboot, their Kwallet has ERROR -3.

The resolution for now is to re-create a new wallet from scratch.
