Hello list, |
2 |
|
3 |
Until this morning I've had no real problems with KMail and co. for quite a |
4 |
while, but something's upset the wallet system so that my password is no |
5 |
longer recognised when I start KMail-2. This is what I've tried: |
6 |
|
7 |
1. Re-created a blank /home partition and restored from yesterday's backup. |
8 |
(Yesterday's setup was working nicely.) |
9 |
No difference, so: |
10 |
|
11 |
2. Deleted ~/kde4/share/apps/kwallet (while not running live) and rebooted. |
12 |
No difference there either. |
13 |
|
14 |
Is there something I can restore from backup to enable me to use the wallet |
15 |
again - perhaps something in /etc/ssl or /var/tmp? Maybe I need to remerge the |
16 |
wallet packages, or maybe I'll have to create an entirely new user for myself. |
17 |
I hoped I'd seen the last of that kind of masochism. |

In case it's relevant, the appearance of this problem coincided with a new |
20 |
kernel, 4.9.0, which I compiled as usual and rebooted. I just got a blank |
21 |
screen. I had to revert to 4.8.14 and rebuild the associated modules before I |
22 |
could boot, and then fsck ran to check all the file systems. |
