K900 | When autologin is used | 14:14:13 |
K900 | If you log in with password, the password you used to log in is passed to kwallet for unlocking | 14:14:39 |
K900 | But if you autologin, there is no known password | 14:14:45 |
vivekanandan_ks | Then it won't ask the popup and connect to network automatically? | 14:14:53 |
K900 | Yes | 14:15:21 |
K900 | But your passwords will be on disk in plain text | 14:15:21 |
vivekanandan_ks | Makes sense
So one has to enter the password to access network. | 14:15:24 |
vivekanandan_ks | What security risks are there? When using it in personal system? | 14:15:55 |
K900 | Things can read your passwords from disk, I guess | 14:16:09 |
vivekanandan_ks | A malicious attack will do that I guess, via bad scripts | 14:17:04 |
vivekanandan_ks | I'll try this maybe | 14:17:41 |
aloisw | If you have malware on your computer it might as well install a keylogger. | 14:20:24 |

Vassilis Palassopoulos | Although things can read from unlocked KWallet (typical use-case with using same password with login) via D-Bus I presume anyways. | 16:44:26 |
mr-qubo | Does anyone has a patch to bring back input-synaptics support on plasma 6? | 17:33:18 |
K900 | What does that even mean | 17:35:48 |
mr-qubo | synaptics support was removed in plasma 6 and only libinput works. | 17:36:36 |
K900 | Do you mean xf86-input-synaptics? | 17:37:03 |
K900 | Because that's not a thing on Wayland | 17:37:07 |
mr-qubo | yes | 17:37:08 |
K900 | And cannot be a thing | 17:37:09 |
K900 | And will never be a thing | 17:37:12 |
mr-qubo | I use plasmax11. | 17:37:19 |
K900 | And Plasma/X11 does not even know what drivers you're using | 17:37:26 |
K900 | Except for the GUI configuration thingy I guess | 17:37:32 |
K900 | But that's been entirely rewritten | 17:37:39 |
mr-qubo | Hm. Touchpad does work, but configuration was reset to default after I upgraded from 5 to 6. | 17:38:36 |
mr-qubo | But from what you said, it seems that patching it won't be easy. | 17:39:00 |
K900 | You should really just use Wayland but I'm not going to argue this | 17:40:03 |
