When an application tries to open the Wallet the password input window opens. I put in the correct password but nothing really happens. After a while the password window pops up again, but again it doesn’t work.
The owncloud sync client, which also uses kwallet to save passwords, writes the following to it’s logfile:
03-26 22:02:01:277 Error with keychain: "Could not open wallet: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply; Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
I already tried deleting .kde4/share/apps/kwallet/* and .kde4/share/config/kwalletmanagerrc .kde4/share/config/kwalletrc
After doing this it had worked again for a short period, but soon it stopped working again.
Anybody has got an idea what’s wrong with my kwallet?

I’m having this problem too. I was using ownCloud successfully for several days before this issue cropped up.
I also deleted all files and folders named kwallet*. Even after completing the create wallet wizard the wizard appears again after a few moments (presumably when the ownCloud client tries to reconnect).
In my case the problem is definitely related to kwallet, the ownCloud client works correctly in other desktop environments.
@spiollinux: I don’t have an answer about this, but could you tell us a bit more about your system? openSUSE version,and maybe out put of
kwalletmanager -v
Others may have more questions…
Hello.
I am running openSUSE 12.2 64bit and KDE4.10.1. I noticed a similar behaviour of wallet with openVPN in a two user setup. I found out that if there are for some reasons several entries (of which some old and deprecated) for a one specific sign on, everything may fail. You can try to check out the following: open the wallet manager when you encounter the problem. Open the respective wallet. Then try to look if you have a multiple entry for some of the items. Try to selectively delete the multiple, redundant entries of that item, actually all entries for that specific item. Then try again to login, save the password in wallet when the program asks. Now it should work at least for a while without having to rewrite all the other passwords again. If you confirm this to be the behaviour in you case, then you may write a bug report on it and post the reference here. I did not do it up to now because I did write already some and I did not know up to now if this would be a occasional behaviour only on my machine. In case you report I will join you report on bugzilla.
Cheers.
I had a similar problem on Kubuntu Quantal with KDE 4.10 - KWallet didn’t accept my password, just gave me the password dialog over and over. Deleting the wallet and reinstalling the wallet manager didn’t help.
I’m wondering whether this could be a security issue. I wasn’t using a safe password, just 4 lowercase letters and the problem seems to go away if I add capital letters and numbers.
