[arch-general] Broken kwallet after kde 4.4.4 update
Hello, anyone else experiencing issues with kwalletmanager after the upgrade? I upgraded during the kdelibs 4.4.3 issue, but that's fixed now. I don't know if it was a buggy upgrade or the release but the new kde sucks on my machine. Keybindings, such as alt+f2, volume up/down, alt+tab, etc., don't work and my main problem is Kwalletmanager. It runs in tray ok, but my wallet is missing, settings don't react,... I've filed a bug http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19678 . I did even try yaourt -Rcsn kde and yaourt -S kde but bugs still persist. Any ideas on fixing this? Advice to rm .kde4 is the solution I'd like to avoid. Thank you in advance. Regards, Mark -- Marek Otahal :o)

I haven't updated kde yet because of that kdelibs issue.

Nothing too helpful to add I'm afraid, other than it's working here. I upgraded yesterday and had no problems. KWallet seemed to forget that Korgac was allowed to access it, but everything else has been fine. Good luck, Pete.

It could be worse. For me it broke everything visible (at least plasma configuration was gone) and I had to clean my .kde4 and configure everything again.

Well, I'd like to thank everybody for support, I finally decided to spent 4hours and revert back to a (luckily made) backup. Later I upgraded again and everything works well now. So I believe the cause was a broken upgrade process on my side (kdelibs,..)
Talking about a clean .kde4, this is a common but radical solution, is there and easy way to perserve IM history, mails, kwallet passwords and whatnot.. or is this all hidden (and lost) somewhere in this dir and has to be copied manually? Thanks again, Marek -- Marek Otahal :o)

Actually you don't have to start from scratch. Usually when you need to start with a clean .kde4 it's because plasma (or some other basic component of desktop) have broken configuration. Fortunately configuration of other applications (especially if they were not running in time of breakage) shouldn't be touched. What I did after breakage of my kde settings is that I moved .kde4 to .kde4.old and did a basic configuration (in my case configuring plasma theme and adding widgets) again. Then I copied application (kdevelop, amarok, kopete…) settings* from .kde4.old to the new .kde4. Lukas * The application settings can be found in .kde4/share/apps and in .kde4/share/config.

Thanks a lot! I'll try that next time I need it. It's at least better that setting everything from scratch. Ahoj, M. -- Marek Otahal :o)
