Bug ID: 443190
Summary: plasma-nm secrets from kwallet timeout very fast
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.22.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: till2.schae...@uni-dortmund.de
Target Milestone: ---
When I login to plasma, kwallet asks me to open my gpg wallet in order to
unlock the secrets for my wifi connection. After entering the password via
pinentry-qt5, the connection is established.
However, this only works if I am very fast. After a few seconds (lets say 20
seconds or so), there seems to be a timeout that causes Networkmanager to ask
for the secret itself via a separate dialog. Even if I enter the passwort to
the kwallet pinentry afterwards, this dialog stays open and Networkmanager does
not autoconnect to the wifi. In order to connect to the wifi, there are now two
options:
1) Provide the passwort manually via the Networkmanager dialog
2) close the networkmanager dialog, got the the Networkmanager applet and click
connect (which seems to re-read the credentials from the now open wallet)
Both options are cumbersome and break the normal workflow.
There are two issues here in my opinion:
A) The timeout is much to short. It is typical to turn on a computer and leave
it (e.g. make a cup of tea). Thus, I guess a reasonable timeout is much longer.
B) Pinentry has a timeout itself, which is independent from the networkmanager
timeout (at least on wayland here). After pinentry times out there is a dialog
that asks to retry / abort the opening of a wallet. In my opinion,
Networkmanager should only present its own password dialog when the opening of
the wallet is canceled in pinetry. Thus, networkmanager should actually never
timeout here.
