I use tdewalletmanager as a convenience to store my passwords for kmail and konqueror (fish:). Last night I refreshed my Trinity installation, and everything was working fine (through several login/logout iterations), but the second time I logged in today, suddenly tdewalletmanager didn't start, and kmail prompted me for my mail service passwords. I shut down kmail, then tried to start tdewalletmanager, but it would not start from the menu or the command line. I was able to start it by using 'open with...' in konqueror on kdewallet.kwl, but though the file is 1.3K, kwallet manager shows no file tree! It appears that tdewalletmanager can no longer read my wallet files. I noticed that the privileges for that file were set to -rw-rw-rw- and set them to -rw------ in case that was an issue, but that didn't help, though now I can start tdewalletmanager from the command line. What should I do to find out what's gone wrong?

I had such an issue some years ago. In my case kdewallet4/5 has "migrated" my kwallet in a new format, unreadable for tdewallet. In my case I was able to restore the file from backup. I was also able to open the file with kdewallet5.

Well, that's pretty nasty. I looked in /usr/bin for their bogus wallet manager, but didn't find it; but there's a chance that some 3rd party non-RPM package has it imbedded, waiting to subvert my account. I went into YaST and marked all non-Trinity wallet and password management tools 'Taboo' (never install), but I wonder what other kde4/plasma utilities are poised to destroy our Trinity configuration?
I've temporarily told kmail to store the passwords in its own configuration file. Once I've recreated the wallet file, how do I tell kmail to switch back to using tdewallet?

I was able to create a replacement kdewallet.kwl file by removing the broken one, logging out and back in, then using File -> New Wallet... Thanks for your help.
