Public bug reported: I mostly use knetworkmanager with encrypted wifi networks, on a laptop (HP nc6400, 2-GB, edgy up-to-date per 'wajig daily-upgrade' 15 minutes ago). When I log in, I see a kwallet password prompt, asking if I'd like to allow knetworkmanager (or sometimes dcop) access.
When I type my password immediately, everything is fine. But I use session autoresume in kde, so sometimes various programs are launching and I can't immediately type in my password. When this happens, kwallet still appears to open ok, but knetworkmanager appears to freeze: its icon in the systray disappears, leaving just an empty square. Neither right-clicking nor left-clicking in that space does anything. This problem has been discussed on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=280571 Next time this happens, I'll try to use strace or gdb to figure out what knetworkmanager thinks it's waiting for. If I get anything useful, I'll add it to this report. Workaround: kill knetworkmanager, then use ALT-F2 to start it again. $ pgrep -f knetworkmanager | xargs kill $ apt-show-versions knetworkmanager knetworkmanager/edgy uptodate 0.1-0ubuntu1 ** Affects: knetworkmanager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- knetworkmanager freezes if kwallet doesn't open immediately https://launchpad.net/bugs/69118 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
