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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: plasma-netbook (only the Knowledge base widget)

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:

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).
