[Bug 613836] Re: After first reboot of Maverick (only when using the netbook workspace), the user is presented with a page telling he/she must have an opendesktop.org account

[Juan Pablo Arias]

I've updated the entire description since this was a bug reported when
Kubuntu Maverick was on alpha-3 and I've tested it on a fresh install
with an standard Kubuntu 10.10 disk with every update available till
today. So, users are still experimenting this with a default Kubuntu
10.10 installation (only when using the netbook workspace).

** Summary changed:

- After first reboot of Maverick, user is presented with a page telling user he/she must have an opendesktop.org account
+ After first reboot of Maverick (only when using the netbook workspace), the user is presented with a page telling he/she must have an opendesktop.org account

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
+ Binary package hint: plasma-netbook (only the Knowledge base widget)
  
- On each Kubuntu install I've done so far for Alpha 3 testing, every time
- I've rebooted and logged in to KDE, I've been presented with a password
+ On a fresh Kubuntu 10.10 Maverick installation, when you log in to KDE
+ (using the plasma netbook workspace), you are presented with a password
  dialog that says:
  
  You need to supply a username and password to access this site.
  
  Site: your valid user account or api key at api.opendesktop.org
  Username:
  Password:
  
- I have no idea, as a user, what my my account or api key is, or even
- what api.opendesktop.org is, and I have no idea why KDE would be asking
- me for one immediately after login.
+ As a user, you don't know what your account or api key is, or even what
+ api.opendesktop.org is, or why KDE is asking for an account immediately
+ after login.
+ 
+ TEST CASES
+ 
+ 1. Fresh installation of Kubuntu10.10  with every update available
+ updated (as for 13/01/2011) on an Asus eee 1001px: By default Kubuntu
+ starts plasma-netbook on this machine, so, it always asks for the
+ opendesktop account every time you log in to KDE. If you remove the
+ Knowledge base widget, the problem disappears.
+ 
+ 2. Fresh installation of Kubuntu 10.10 with every update available
+ updated (as for 13/01/2011) on a Desktop PC: By default Kubuntu starts
+ plasma-desktop so, no problem here, but if you switch to the netbook
+ workspace you get asked to supply an opendesktop account. If you remove
+ the Knowledge base widget, the problem disappears
+ 
+ ISO TESTED
+ 
+ Standard Kubuntu 10.10 Maverick
+ 
+ WORKAROUNDS
+ 
+ Apparently this issue is related to the "Knowledge Base" Widget, so,
+ removing this Widget solves the problem (or you can get a valid
+ opendesktop account).
+ 
+ In order to Remove the "Knowledge Base" widget you must go to Page One
+ and close the Knowledge Base Widget by clicking on the cross at the
+ upper right corner of the widget (it appears when you hover the mouse
+ over it).

** Tags removed: iso-testing

** Summary changed:
