Bug ID: 456986
Summary: KWallet occasionally looses wallet on irregular
shutdown
Product: frameworks-kwallet
Version: 5.96.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: va...@kde.org
Reporter: bug....@petzel.at
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Occasionally it happens that after some sort of hard shutdown (such as
powerloss or having to REISUB) KWallet looses it’s entire wallet file. This has
happened to me twice so far. The first time major parts of my KDE config was
lost, so this appears to be not strictly restrained to KWallet, but I suppose
it’s most problematic for KWallet as we’d expect a Password manager to keep the
passwords safe and not loose them easily.
I suppose this might happen if the system shuts down while KWallet tries to
write to the encrypted wallet.
In any case I think that KWallet should handle it’s Wallet files more
carefully, potentially creating backups before writing to the wallet and such.
