Dolphin doesn't store samba share password

[Pascal Korz]

When connecting to a Samba server and checking the option to remember the password, the password won't actually be stored after accepting the dialog.

This bug has recently been fixed by Gordian Klein for KDE SC 4.9.3. The patch consists of merely four lines of code and can be found here: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-runtime/repository/diff?rev=177ce2a7b5b69c1f9ef1355d1d158cacb60cd555&type=sbs

Would it be possible to apply this patch and update the package for Kubuntu 12.04 (KDE SC 4.8.5)?

Build Identifier:

Every time I log into KDE and enter my Samba server, Dolphin asks for smb password, altough I always check the box for it to remember the password.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into KDE
2. Start Dolphin
3. Go to some smb:/ server
4. When logging in, check the "Remember password" box
5. Log out of KDE
6. Perform steps 1-3
Actual Results:
Logging in dialog is prompted

Expected Results:
Username and password should be taken as the ones having been saved

I can verify that the same problem exists on my system with KDE 4.8.5.

[Silver-salonen (silver-salonen)]

It also happens in 4.9.0.

[Swapon (swapon)]

Same problem here with the 4.9.1 release, running on gentoo.
I noticed that the password is not stored on kwallet which is already unlocked
(and used successfully by other applications).

[Tom (uckcdk-thomas)]

I have the same problem on 4.9.2 with Kubuntu.
Always when opening Dolphin and browsing to an SMB share, it is asked for username and password, even if I check thie "Remember" checkbox. This is extremly annoying - I am not playing with KDE, I use it in my business for work. As I see there are tickets for this problem since 2004!!

I would be really happy if somebody could fix this issue.
Thanks!

Quantal and Raring already have the fix, precise package still needs testing. Any takers?

@Rohan Garg (rohangarg) if you still need testers for 12.04, I could do it. Just tell me what to do :-)

Tested on my Kubuntu 12.04.3 64Bit with KDE 4.8.5 and Dolphin 2.1 with activated kwallet. It's working like s charm!

My test scenario:
1.) Packages has been installed from the build of Jonathan. I was using the amd64 packages.
2.) Opened Dolphin and clicked on my samba entry. Kwallet was asking for a password then the dolphin window for password appeared. So I typed my credentials and checked the remember password box.
3.) I closed kwallet and repeated Step 2. This time the dolhin window for password appeared with my saved credentials so I just have to click ok.
4.) Restart computer, result the same as Step 3.

No other problems/issues where find till yet.

[David Dimovski (q-david-r)]

Tested with precise-proposed repository.

Only got problem with kde-runtime-dbg:
kde-runtime-dbg : Depends: kdelibs5-dbg but it is not going to be installed

After skipping the kde-runtime-dbg package, everything works fine. All tests were made like in my post #22.

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

kde-runtime-dbg from precise-proposed installs fine for me in a chroot

David can you confirm that the behaviour is fixed using the packages from precise-proposed?

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

David says "everything works fine"
