after manually killing process and restarting skype, it continues: screenshot_20181220_153339

its either because of german install or kwallet being crap again.

llelectronics commented 5 years ago

Cannot reproduce it on my freshly german localized install.

star-buck commented 5 years ago

This one is reproducible im quite certain. Will try again next ISO.

star-buck commented 5 years ago

If we write our stuff in a way where ssd speed matters for the sake of a certain order things need to startup (systemd or whatever): I am testing on a hdd, where it took 1:10 min alone from Sddm to desktop.

llelectronics commented 5 years ago

Only way I am asked for kwallet password is when I have autologin activated. This is intended behavior as kwallet by default uses the user password. (Kwallet PAM)

star-buck commented 5 years ago

Hmm no, that was normal login. I wonder if that was kwallet, since i didnt see it popup when i entered wireless password on old netbook...

star-buck commented 5 years ago

reproducible on another machine. Looks like kwallet does no longer have (empty) passwords set for default wallet, so it asks for passwords the first time some app requests it.

@notuxius : can you please help test if you see bugs like this? its tedious if I have to write this and waiting for Leszek, Rohan or me to either have found it or confirmed and then writing something is somewhat boring/lame (it is either true you love wanted to do QA or dont, now is a good time to actually help us here and show some action...)

notuxius commented 5 years ago

@star-buck currently installing netrunner debian in various localizations to test ff and thunderbird missing translations, after it will test this issue

star-buck commented 5 years ago

after testing myself again, looks like it is not kwallet, but a process called gcr-prompter: screenshot_20181221_112551

star-buck commented 5 years ago

several ideas here, not sure if something helps: https://askubuntu.com/questions/288956/after-login-there-is-a-strange-window-asking-for-a-password

Thinking about why this now pops up, maybe adding a package from last ISO brought back some dependency, like thunderbird? also not sure if simply removing it will solve skype still working, but i guess so.

llelectronics commented 5 years ago

I see that gcr is required by skypeforlinux. However I am still unable to make this prompt appear for me.

star-buck commented 5 years ago

This appears every time on 3 machines even in live mode by simply booting into live mode and starting skype. If @notuxius would have had tested this as promised, he could at least confirm or not if its happening on his side and we could start thinking why.

llelectronics commented 5 years ago

I was able now to reproduce it in live mode after I entered my credentials it popped up. I just hit cancel 2 times and it went away and logged me in. Though yeah that is still strange. I am not sure if we can get rid of it

star-buck commented 5 years ago

Its a stupid deoendency from debian. Im sure this is not needed for skypelinux. Lets try to disable it and see if skype still starts? On Dec 21, 2018 13:51, "Leszek Lesner" notifications@github.com wrote:

The skypeforlinux.deb comes from Skype directly not Debian as Debian does not want to package this proprietary piece of spyware :)

star-buck commented 5 years ago

Lets disable it then or remove it or render useless. On Dec 21, 2018 14:02, "Leszek Lesner" notifications@github.com wrote:

star-buck commented 5 years ago
