Bug ID: 484914
   Summary: sddm has the option to show password and it cannot be
turned off
Classification: I don't know
   Product: kde
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Kubuntu

Originally filed on launchpad and there ignored, because it turns out to be
misfiled (Thanks Scarlet!)
[original](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-workspace/+bug/1719078)

It appears that there is no way to turn off the toggle to show the password in
plain text.

There are a lot of situations where accidentally having this toggle to show
passwords on, while not expecting it. When people are looking at the screen who
should not know the password, this is disastrous!

The toggle is hard to see, and there is hardly any visible indication that the
password will be readable.
The toggle can be set by anyone having access to the login screen.

Imagine parents who want to have some control over when their children log in
to the computer. The children can set the toggle and then when the parent is
typing in the secret password, they can just read it.

Or when you are in a public space and you are unaware that the option has been
toggled and someone is looking over your shoulder. Etc.

If this option is deemed necessary for/by some users, it should never be on by
default and AFAICT it currently (17.04) isn't an option that can be configured.
(I don't think this has changed since then, up to 2024)

This bug is solved for me when
- the toggle is made a configurable option
- it is set to disabled by default after installation

[Phonon] [Bug 218533] "Removed Sound Devices" popup appearing on a multi computer setup

--- Comment #12 from Simon Oosthoek  ---
I don't have a setup anymore that could reproduce this. With the recent changes
to the audio subsystems in Linux (from pulseaudio to pipewire) the whole thing
may also be completely changed w.r.t. phonon? Currently my audio works fine and
I never run into this error anymore.

[plasmashell] [Bug 439604] Plasma-5.18.7.1, screen lock: textbox/loginbox not activated by keyboard

2022-02-15 Thread Simon Oosthoek
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439604

--- Comment #13 from Simon Oosthoek  ---
Though I understand the reasoning with limited resources to just focus on the
newly released 5.24 LTS version, it's a shame that this regression wasn't fixed
immediately and now all 5.18.x users are stuck for as long as their upstream
package provider doesn't provide 5.24 packages (not taking into account that
some people may not be ready to adopt the 5.24 version yet).

For me, this bug was one of the very few that has hit me and still annoys me
dozens of times every day.

[kscreenlocker] [Bug 440707] New: lockscreen doesn't show password prompt unless mouse is moved

2021-08-07 Thread Simon Oosthoek
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440707

Bug ID: 440707
   Summary: lockscreen doesn't show password prompt unless mouse
is moved
   Product: kscreenlocker
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general

  Reporter: kdeb...@simaj.net

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

Since very recently (a few days) I'm having trouble unlocking my lockscreen via
the graphical interface. I can unlock it using a text-terminal (ctrl-alt-f2)
and the command: `loginctl unlock-session 3`

Hmm, after some more investigating, it appears the problem is that now a
mousemovement is required to get a password prompt. It used to be that you
could just start typing the password and the lockscreen would catch it, without
needing to touch the mouse first...

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. lock screen
2. type password
3. ... nothing

OBSERVED RESULT

the screen remains locked

EXPECTED RESULT

password typed is accepted and after the first keystroke, the prompt is shown
with balls indicating the password is being typed.

I'm not using KDE3 anymore and this way of working is a thing of the past for
me, so for me, "close+won't fix" is fine.

[okular] [Bug 398450] okular saves as with too few permissions

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398450

--- Comment #2 from Simon Oosthoek  ---
Thanks, that confirms this is a bug in the versions up to 1.5. I hope it can be
backported to a bugfix in ubuntu stable... I'll see if I can make a bugreport
on launchpad for it.

I'm wondering when this bug was introduced to okular...

[okular] [Bug 398450] New: okular saves as with too few permissions

2018-09-10 Thread Simon Oosthoek
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398450

Bug ID: 398450
   Summary: okular saves as with too few permissions
   Product: okular
   Version: 1.3.3
  Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: major
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
  Reporter: s.oosth...@xs4all.nl
  Target Milestone: ---

Okular doesn't save with the maximum permissions allowable by the umask, which
causes problems when sharing files over a unix network share (NFS) and scp.

e.g. when the umask (-S) is set to: u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx, a file saved with "save
as" will get the permissions -rw---.
The expected permssions are: -rw-rw-r--

I expect okular to request -rw-rw-rw- permissions from the OS, and being
allowed to set -rw-rw-r-- according to the umask.

Example; when e.g. a student writes a copy of a deliverable document to a
supervisor to a network drive (or locally, and later copied using scp) using
save as, the file ends up with too few permissions to be readable by the
supervisor. This is unexpected behaviour and can result in delays for the
student, or worse...

I hope this is already fixed in later versions of okular, however the version
included in ubuntu 18.04 has this problem.

[kscreenlocker] [Bug 395728] New: display power saving not configurable

In my ubuntu 18.04 plasma 5.12 I cannot configure screen power saving in the
system settings -> desktop behaviour -> screen locking section.

This is where I expect power management for the screen to be, however it is
completely absent there and in all other places as well (like "display and
monitor")

Either I'm missing some package, but I cannot figure out which from the package
names (I'd expect it to have the word "power" and "plasma" or "kde" in it)
Or the packaged version of the screen locking configuration doesn't include
powersaving features.

I want to save power (the environment, think of the children, etc. yada) when
I'm not using my PC. So I would like powermanagement to be on by default and to
be able to configure it.

I'm running 5.8.9-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04~ppa5 on ubuntu 16.04 (from backports)

I've configured the screen locker to show images when I've locked my screen. It
would be nice to hide the login/new session elements in the middle of the
screen after a couple of seconds inactivity of the mouse and keyboard.

Reducing the size and moving the minimized login to the edge of the screen
would also be good. 

The main result would be a clear view of the images when not attempting to
login or unlock the screen. As soon as the mouse is moved or the keyboard is
pressed, the elements needed to login or start a new session should return to
the main part of the screen.

[ksmserver] [Bug 365237] session not saved/restored upon logout/login

--- Comment #3 from Simon Oosthoek  ---
Sorry, I must have missed the reply in September...

It could very well be the konsole bug you referred to, the other problems with
firefox and thunderbird might have been resolved, at least on ubuntu 16.10...

I guess this bug can remain closed, I may re-open or re-file when I have time
for some more testing...

Cheers

   What|Removed |Added

 Status|RESOLVED|UNCONFIRMED

--- Comment #2 from Simon Oosthoek  ---
the package "user-manager" was installed, so that isn't the solution.

My wish (I'd actually call it a bug in the overall UI experience) was and is to
have changing the system password for the logged-in user be easily accessible
and findable in places where users look for it.

@David, your closing as wontfix leaves me wondering weather the KDE community
doesn't want people using the plasma desktop have a trouble-free experience or
that you are saying that exactly what I want is already available. Or that you
consider the current situation to be trouble-free regarding changing
system-passwords for the logged-in user.

My wish is clearly to make it possible to change the system password from the
GUI via desktop-menu, or the kde-menu or some new and (more) intuitive GUI
element.

This should be possible for users without(!) superuser privileges (so no
ability to provide a sudo password).

[plasmashell] [Bug 367886] New: System password changing should be easy/easily accessible

2016-08-27 Thread Simon Oosthoek via KDE Bugzilla
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367886

Bug ID: 367886
   Summary: System password changing should be easy/easily
accessible
   Product: plasmashell
   Version: 5.6.5
  Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: wishlist
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
  Reporter: s.oosth...@xs4all.nl
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org

Users should be able to change their password without having to resort to the
shell based "passwd" command.

My daughter (9) wanted to change her password and I thought how she could do it
without typing passwd on the command prompt. I found it impossible to do via
the GUI!

I looked here first:
- right mouse menu on the background
- kde menu in the taskbar
- I typed password/passwd in the alt-f2 box
- I looked on the internet and found some stuff about kdepasswd, I installed it
(kubuntu 16.04), but nothing changed in the above places.
- looked in the system-settings account settings, it's possible to change the
password there, but when you click on apply, it requires superuser permissions.
This should not be necessary, as it's not for the passwd on the commandline.

I don't understand this at all, I think there used to be a way in the past
(kde3 perhaps), but for me I always use unix commands, so I don't track this
problem very well ;-)
Don't people change their passwords at all? Or not via the gui?


Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
I expect an option to be available and clearly presented to change the password
of the currently logged-in user. At least in the places I looked (background
right-mouse menu, start-kde, system-settings, through alt-f2, or possibly a new
interface element that makes it trivial to modify parameters about the current
user. Perhaps a real "About-Me" element?

Perhaps it's a good idea to steal possible interface ideas from windows or
macintosh UIs?

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365237

Bug ID: 365237
   Summary: session not saved/restored upon logout/login
   Product: ksmserver
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: major
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: l.lu...@kde.org
  Reporter: s.oosth...@xs4all.nl

Using ubuntu 16.04 + Neon packages (repo)

I usually have at least 3 applications open: Konsole, Thunderbird and Firefox.
Whenever I login I want these to be there as well. When I log off, the
applications are still open and when I login I want the applications to be
started as I left them.

Before I installed 16.04+Neon, I was using fedora 23 (+plasma desktop), as far
as I can remember, this setup did what I wanted.

In another bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87499 I found a similar
problem, which I can confirm, but it's not the same as this.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login
2. Start konsole, firefox, thunderbird
3. logout
4. login
5. no restored session :-(

Actual Results:  
The desktop opens with no open windows

Expected Results:  
I expect konsole firefox and thunderbird to be started when I log in, after I
logged out with these specific applications open.
