Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Trying to create a wallet to store my passwords.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
- Started kwalletmanager and choosing File -> New wallet ...
- Provided a name and then nothing happened.
* What was the outcome of this action?
No wallet was created and therefor couldn't use it's functionality.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That a wallet was created and I could store my passwords in it.
If you would install ksshaskpass package that wouldn't work either,
but it doesn't work on the standard kde image downloaded from either
cdimage.debian.org or the newer one on live.debian.net (or a custom
created image).
This bug is reported from the image downloaded at:
http://live.debian.net/cdimage/release/stable+nonfree/i386/iso-hybrid/debian-live-7.1-i386-kde-desktop+nonfree.iso
To figure out what went wrong I started kwalletmanager from the command line and
this is the output of it:
user@debian:~$ kwalletmanager &
[1] 4758
user@debian:~$ QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before
QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.

Patch section:
- if you download the kde-runtime-data package and install the debfile with
'dpkg -i <debfile>'
the problem is resolved.
- Reinstalling the kde-runtime-data would also fix this.
With the help of the people on #debian-kde we tracked down the source of the
problem:
http://sources.debian.net/src/live-config/3.0.23-1/scripts/config/1060-kde-services?hl=68#L68
This error is also present in live-config version 4.0~a27-1:
http://sources.debian.net/src/live-config/4.0~a27-1/components/1060-kde-services?hl=71#L71
It would be my suggestion to remove all those line 'disabling unnecessary KDE
services' since
they are NOT unnecessary, break functionality in KDE and in case of those which
should prevent
akonadi from starting both ineffective (akonadi is started anyway) and unwanted
since akonadi is
an important part of the KDE(-PIM) infrastructure.
Removing those files/services is also against the philosophy of Debian Live as
described in
section 2.2.1 from the manual, especially this part:
"We will not change any packages. Whenever we need to change something, we will
do that in coordination with its package maintainer in Debian."
If you have any questions or want more information, feel free to ask.
Regards,
Diederik
