Why is this still an issue on #Element :))

It's been a thing for mooooonths (or a year?) despite not being an issue before, and I'm not sure if it's to do with Element or #KDE/#Kwallet (or something else entirely i.e. #Flatpak). The last time I had an issue relating to Kwallet was with #VSCode and even that required some weird workaround (IIRC, lying that we're using #GNOME 's keychain or smtg like that).

I've been using #NeoChat but I swear Element's the best #Matrix client and I miss having it.

---

edit: omfg, a workaround was found apparently since I last looked into this a ~year ago. Adding org.kde.kwalletd6 to its 'Session Bus' list (i.e. through #Flatseal) works! I can happily use Element again!!! 🥳

#matrix app options on #kde atm kinda sucks. #element is the best, but it's now among a number of apps that don't (properly) support kde wallet/#kwallet so that's a no for a while now, which is a shame cos it's worked fine before. #nheko has been recommended, and it's pretty nice despite some rough edges, but it is honestly not that hard to come across several bugs that make it unusable. kde's own matrix app (forgot the name #neochat) is pretty rough on the edges too, a bit basic looking, but def a lot less buggy than nheko - it has some bugs of its own tho like 'quote' messages not working properly, at least when the quoted/replied message has a photo (it shows a thumbnail of the correct image, but opening it up shows a totally diff pic - for instance). all in all, ur best option is element's web app, but for a chat app u wish to use daily for a lot, it's kinda jank to always be looking for ur browser window/tab. the element app on other platforms like #ios and #macos just works tho so dats a fallback, if u use those.

Yes, just wanted to drop what I think is the case with #kwallet. Any process can request any data (correct me if I am wrong @kde)

For encrypted user data at rest, #systemdHomed could work, but I have not seen easy implementations of that.

#KeepassXC can also act as secret service. But A even #KeepassXCBrowser is kinda janky, and I like to have separate stores depending on the importance.

(I am one of the people who use Firefoxes pw manager 🫣)

Dear KDE Plasma Linux users,

say I have a laptop with a LUKS-encrypted file system.
Say this is a single user system.

The user unlocks the device (before or after the bootloader, should not matter in this discussion) with a safe password.

The user is logged in automatically in KDE Plasma.

KWallet is set to have an empty password, to not ask the user for a password just to enable WiFi or similar (which is the only thing KWallet is being used for).

The user still needs to enter the password after locking the screen, suspending the machine or similar.

Passwords are still in a locked password safe (think KeePassXC or similar), so this requires unlocking with a safe password.

Does anyone see major security flaws in this setup?

Due to #EndOf10 I have converted some users to Linux, and having to enter your password multiple times is the only thing they find annoying...

Hmhm, diesmal war es wohl nicht die Schuld von Signal, sondern… *Trommelwirbel* … #KWallet? Der Vivaldi-Browser zeigte beim Start nämlich auch eine Fehlermeldung an, er könne nicht auf den Schlüsselspeicher zugreifen. Daraufhin #KWalletManager gecheckt: Da sind u.a. Vivaldi und Signal drin. Nach einem Systemneustart funktioniert jetzt wider Erwarten Signal Desktop wieder (ohne Neueinrichtung), aber Vivaldi kann seine Schlüssel noch immer nicht freischalten…

Anyone know if and how I can use the #Linux secrets portal for storing @libreoffice #WebDAV credentials?

Ideally, #LibreOffice will integrate with libsecrets to let me store credentials on @kde #KWallet or my #KeepassXC configured as a provider for org.Freedesktop.Secrets.

I've had this error tryna launch the #Element desktop #Flatpak app (#Matrix client) on #Linux ever since one of the #KDE Plasma updates, been a while now and it's still not going away. Are we supposed to wait for something, to have it fixed - or is there something we have to do that can get it fixed? Looks like an #Electron or #kwallet issue. The only workaround for now, is to use their web client.

having some weird issues with kwallet

not sure what's going on, applications can't access the data they've previously stored inside it
