[Bug 1572244] Re: Kubuntu requires that the WiFi password be entered twice before WiFi can be used

[Rik Mills]

Seems there is still another aspect to this, resulting in it still being
unfixed for the Kubuntu Live session.

casper runs in scripts/casper-bottom/34disable_kde_services

rm -f /root/usr/share/kde4/services/kwalletd.desktop
rm -f /root/usr/share/kservices5/kwalletd5.desktop
rm -f /root/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.kwalletd5.service
rm -f /root/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.kwalletd.service

which was done in 2015 to stop kwallet dunning in the live session
completely.

This sadly now has the consequence that plasma-nm sees no actual written
config disabling kwalllet, but maybe simply fails to access it thinking
it should be available, then falls back to the password with network
manager. Hence possibly the double password request.

Since 2016 releases of plasma 5.7.x the change "Store password into
NetworkManager by default when KWallet is not enabled" enables fallback
to network manager, but seemingly only when plasma-nm knows kwallet is
disabled by config, not when it has been just broken by casper.

So one possible solution could be to leave kwallet's files in place, but
write a temp config file 'kwalletrc' for just the live session disabling
kwallet, so plasma-nm knows to not use it, hence using a working route
first time.
