Comment 3 Tomas Stupka 2010-05-28 11:12:31 UTC 
could, please, anybody who is able to reproduce run netbeans with
-J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.keyring.kde.KWalletProvider.level=-1
and attach the messages.log file?

thanks
Comment 4 Tomas Stupka 2010-05-28 11:24:24 UTC 
please not that you password might be listed in the log file when running with the mentioned switch ...
Comment 5 Tomas Stupka 2010-05-28 12:00:16 UTC 
almost all reports are from the same user and seem to be related to the call from 

at org.netbeans.modules.bugzilla.api.NBBugzillaUtils.saveNBPassword(NBBugzillaUtils.java:118)
at org.netbeans.modules.bugzilla.exceptionreporter.NBBugzillaAccessorImpl.saveNBPassword(NBBugzillaAccessorImpl.java:82)

unfortunately, it is not obvious what could be the cause. 

org.netbeans.modules.keyring.kde.KWalletProvider.save(KWalletProvider.java:93)
throws the exception in case runCommand() returns -1, but no additional information what went wrong is logged

Please evaluate

Comment 9 mdm42 2010-06-21 14:19:49 UTC 
Does anyone have a workaround for this bug? A way to disable the KWallet integration?

It makes NB6.9 completely unusable under KDE since it seems that NB is trying to store all database passwords, etc. in KWallet.

I cannot believe that 6.9 was released with such a bad bug - the KWallet functionality should rather have been disabled.
Comment 10 Jesse Glick 2010-06-21 15:10:41 UTC 
I don't maintain the contributed KWallet integration; perhaps a KDE user can fix it. If this bug is severe, adjust the priority according to the published priority guidelines. Add the 6.9.1_CANDIDATE if a reasonably safe fix can be found and made in trunk.

Users: you can always pass -J-Dnetbeans.keyring.no.native=true to use the fallback master password encryption.
Comment 11 akochnev 2010-10-30 11:52:46 UTC 
It seems that since the KDE module is not supported at the same level as the rest of the IDE, and as mentioned before the IDE is VERY broken when used under KDE, the KWallet integration should be taken out of the standard distribution (and maybe added as an optional) . A regular user (who happens to use KDE) shouldn't have to dig out the switch to disable the native password store integration in order to have a usable IDE. 

Note that this issue is also present in the 7.x builds as well .

Tried filing a bug. My netbeans account password is stored in KDE wallet. Dont know whether this bug is relevant to Netbeans
Comment 13 Yulia Novozhilova 2010-12-13 11:24:17 UTC 
I am able to reproduce this bug in case if I don't enter a password for KDE Wallet in the "KDE Wallet Service"  window. In this case time out happens and KWallet doesn't work via qdbus anymore. I filed a bug to kwalletmanager: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259229

I also corrected KWalletProvider implementation (diff is attached). Now it acting the fallowing way:
- it falls back to master password encryption in case if provider is not chosen yet and time out happenes during first attempt to open KWallet (ex. Help -> Report Issue..)
- it just stops trying to open/save/read KWallet in case if wallet was closed/deleted (from outside of NB) after KWalletProvider had been chosen and time out happened when user tried to open it again via NB.

Comments are welcome. If there is no objection I commit the corrected version in a week.
