Hi,

i want to start korganizer directly after i start, but every time i start the application i have to add the password in akondi. how can i disable this? other applications like thunderbird/lightning can save the password.

i use the google calendar.

The akonadi resources should support saving the password (using kwallet, which can be configured to unlock automatically when you log in)

Where can i do this? I use autologin. In Thunderbird i don't need to enter a password, neither with autologin.

Looks like the Arch Linux wiki has a useful page on it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE_Wallet
(specific instructions may vary depending on which distro you're using, but the packages should be named similarly)

In the arch wiki is written that

The wallet cannot be unlocked when using autologin.


But this is what i want. I use Korganizer on my desktop pc, here i always use autologin. is there no way to use korganizer without the need to enter the password?

disable autologin makes no sense on a desktop pc that stands in my house. i trust all prsons using the computer.

you can try setting up kwallet with a wallet which doesn't require a password. Select the blowfish encrypted file option and leave the password empty. It will complain at you for using an insecure password, but as you trust the people who have access to the computer that's up to you. (Just be aware that it will be just as easy for a malicious script to figure out how to open it up and read the passwords as it is for other people who you trust to use your computer)
