KDE Wallet disappeared

Hello Everyone,
as of recently, my kwallet wallet disappeared... plain and simple. Also i can't create a new wallet because Kwallet freezes when i try to... in fact, Kmail and all the other PIM apps are broken.

Am i the only one experiencing this? My wallet was gpg protected

Re: KDE Wallet disappeared

Does the gpg command itself work? I recently had the problem that `gpg --list-secret-keys` just hang without printing any output because gpg-agent was started with wrong arguments. This caused other apps like Psi and Kleopatra to freeze (or showing a progress bar forever in case of Kleopatra).

BTW: To debug this problem I compiled a debug build of Psi to check where it hangs in particular. Since it was a method of qca I also compiled a debug build of that library and tracked down the error to gpg invocation. You could do the same to track down the source of your issue if my suspicion is not correct.

Yep! There's my trouble!

Apparently GPG Agent done shit the bed....

So what kind of arguments did you change to make it chooch again?

Re: KDE Wallet disappeared

I seem to be having the same issue. I'm curious to!

Edit: Fixed with the help of Namarrgon @ #archlinux on freenode

rm ~/.config/systemd/user/gpg-agent.service
systemctl --user stop gpg-agent.service
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user start gpg-agent.service

Now run:
systemctl --user status gpg-agent.service

and verify that it is running from "/usr/lib/systemd/user/gpg-agent.service"
● gpg-agent.service - GnuPG cryptographic agent and passphrase cache

That should do the tick
