           Summary: KDE Daemon needlessly demands decryption password on
                    startup when KDE resides on LUKS-encrypted LVM root
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: spiro.multimax+kdebugzilla at gmail.com


Created an attachment (id=47463)
 --> (http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=47463)
Output of 'cat /etc/fstab' and 'lvdisplay' on my system

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

When logging into KDE on an encrypted system, KDED asks for the password to the
LUKS volume. But KDE does not need the password to access the volume it resides
on.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
-Install Linux and KDE in a LUKS-encrypted LVM set (for instance, using the
OpenSUSE installer).
-Boot. Enter the LUKS password.

Actual Results:  
Upon logging in to KDE, a dialog box soon appears: 

Password -- KDE Daemon 
'Volume (crypto_LUKS) needs' a password to be accessed. Please enter a
password.

Expected Results:  
The underlying disk structure is transparent to KDED.

Current workaround:
-"Cancel out" of the password dialog. KDE can access the entire file system as
normal. (Perhaps entering the password works too.)
-It doesn't seem to be possible to prevent this dialog from appearing by
disabling KDE automount as I can do for external drives.
