Bug ID: 412825
Summary: With automatic login enabled, kwallet doesn't ask for
password fast enough for enabling network
Product: kwalletmanager
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: va...@kde.org
Reporter: adam.golan...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On the systems with Auto Login enabled (Startup and Shutdown > Login Screen >
Advanced), soon after launch Network Manager tries to initialize the Wi-Fi
network for about 10 seconds – and fails miserably, as it doesn't have access
to the Wi-Fi password
Only then Wallet asks for user password, provides it to Network Manager, so the
user can start Wi-Fi connection manually.
While it is probably not a bug per se, its bad UX. It would be nice if:
1. Wi-Fi passwords on systems with automatic login enabled would be accessible
for network manager without providing user password.
If it is not possible due to security reasons, then at least:
2. Turning auto login ON would switch automatic wifi connection OFF, or
3. Kwallet asks for user password to unlock access to Wi-Fi password quickly
enough for Network Manager to connect to Wi-Fi at first attempt.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch the login style to Auto Login
2. Have a set up automatic wi-fi connection with password (like WPA2)
OBSERVED RESULT
Wi-Fi connection fails after autologin and only then wallet system asks for
user password
EXPECTED RESULT
Seamless wifi connection on autologin systems
