Description Aaron Mulder 2007-04-09 13:40:29 UTC

When I first log in, and I'm in an area with a preferred wireless network with security, KNetworkManager attempts to access my "wallet" for the network key.  It pops up a dialog asking for my wallet password.

If I enter that promptly, all is well.

If I log in but then don't get around to actually doing anything for a few minutes, by the time I get around to it, the KNetworkManager space in the system tray is just grey (there's space reserved for the icon, but it's as if it's all transparent; it just shows through to the background).  If I enter the wallet password at that point, nothing happens (the network connection is not made, and the KNetworkManager space in the system tray stays all grey).  Right clicking on the space where the icon should be does not bring up the KNetworkManager menu.

If I locate the KNetworkManager process, kill it, and rerun knetworkmanager, then it pops up and shows that I'm disconnected, and I can manually connect to my preferred network, and it does not require a wallet password at that time.

Helmut, we should discuss that issue at some point with a (large ;-) cup of coffee.

Something we probably will have a fix for in 10.3.  Moving to 10.3.

Comment 2 Helmut Schaa 2007-04-12 13:54:00 UTC

Hmm, I cannot reproduce this one. Perhaps it is our loved KWallet deadlock bug #206641 :-)

Aaron, would it be possible to get a backtrace of KNetworkManager when it is locked up? Do you have other apps automatically started on login which require KWallet access?

Comment 3 Aaron Mulder 2007-04-12 14:17:45 UTC

I would be happy to, but how do I collect the backtrace?

KNetworkManager is the only app I use that requires KWallet access.  Also, if I kill and restart KNetworkManager, then it works fine, so it doesn't necessarily seem that KWallet is blocking things.

Comment 4 Helmut Schaa 2007-04-12 15:19:20 UTC

Open a terminal (e.g. konsole) and enter the following command:
  drkonqi --pid `pidof knetworkmanager`

This opens a new dialog and on the second tab you can find a backtrace ;-)

KNetworkManager Backtrace

Here's the trace as requested

Comment 6 Aaron Mulder 2007-04-23 13:26:20 UTC

(I should mention that I gathered that trace on openSUSE 10.2)

Comment 7 Helmut Schaa 2007-04-23 13:32:26 UTC

Thanks Aaron.

Looks really like #206641 -> Duplicate.
