Moin,

I use kwallet as my credential managemer for many years .

Since last week my password is not accepted any more.

Code: Select all

The application 'kwalletmanager5' has requested to open the wallet 'kwallet'. Please enter the password for this wallet below.

and after I type in my password:

Code: Select all

Error opening the wallet 'kdewallet'. Please try again. (Error code -9: Read error - possibily incorrect password.)

I compared the file

Code: Select all

/home/renner/.local/share/kwalletd/kdewallet.kwl

with the file in my daily backup: The md5sum is identical. I also checked that this is the file that is loaded by kwalletd at the start (I did this, because I found a very old version in ./.kde/share/apps/kwallet/). Also the kdewallet.salt is identical with the version in the backup (timestamp is also very old, but this is okay because I did not changed this password for years).

renner@solaris:~$ dpkg --list | grep "wallet" | grep ^ii
ii kwalletmanager 4:19.12.3-0xneon+18.04+bionic+build32 amd64 secure password wallet manager

ii libpam-kwallet5 4:5.18.4.1-0xneon+18.04+bionic+build48 amd64 KWallet (Kf5) integration with PAM

Now I am at a loss, where can I go on looking?

Hi there. I believe there was an endianness change. You will need to build kwallet in the opposite endianness. Apparently a bug in upstream patch after change in Kwallet. However even after my most recent update still experience issues so I compiled Kwallet again.

**edit**
You can clone and compile Kwallet with the patch https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kwall ... requests/1. If you want I can upload the bin for you somewhere. What CPU do you have?
