[SOLVED] How do I get KWalletManager started?

Postby theycallmesam » Jun 24th, '13, 03:09

I am trying to connect to an FTP server using Dolphin, but I can't connect to it because I apparently need a keyring to be saved by Kwallet.
The problem is that I can't get Kwallet started.
I went to the launcher and selected "KWalletManager," but nothing happened. Then, I went to the terminal and tried to start Kwallet as superuser, and this was the output...

Code: Select all
[root@localhost samuel]# kwalletmanager
unnamed app(5779): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server:  "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

unnamed app(5778): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.


I don't know how to proceed from here. So how do I get Kwallet up and running?

It should start automatically. But even if it doesn't, don't try to run it as root. This is user related process and root has nothing to do with it.

But it's not starting automatically, hence why the problem exists.
So how do I get it to not only start, but start automatically?

Please, as normal user show the output of:

Code: Select all
ps aux | grep kwallet


What you can do to start it manually, is kill all kwallet processes, and then try to run it, also all commands as normal user:

Code: Select all
pkill kwallet
kwalletd
kwalletmanager --kwalletd

Or maybe you didn't see that it's already running, it normally hides in systray area under the up arrow, where further running programs/services are kept.

Thank you. I got Kwallet up and running, but aparently that wasn't my primary issue, because I still can't connect to the FTP server. I will create another thread regarding to the reason that I needed Kwallet up in the first place.

Seems kwalletmanager still isn't running, did you configure a wallet yet?
Please mark the thread accordingly by editing the topic of the first post and prefix it by [SOLVED], thanks
