[SOLVED] kwallet-pam does not unlock KDE Wallet

After updating to KDE Plasma 5.4 kwallet does not get unlocked automatically on login. I don't know if it's a bug or my configuration is wrong.

Re: [SOLVED] kwallet-pam does not unlock KDE Wallet

I haven't updated yet (waiting for it to get stable), but your login password has to be the same as the wallet password for it to work. Also, I don't know if the package contains both the kde4 and the kde5 kwallet-pam modules, so it could be that what you are seeing is the kde4 kwallet not unlocking.

Both kwallet and login passwords are the same. Also, according to kwallet-pam file list, the package provides both

/usr/lib/security/pam_kwallet.so
/usr/lib/security/pam_kwallet5.so

Edit: The application requesting kde wallet is akonadi_imap_resource_3.

So, this is now in stable, and does not work in default configuration.
What you have to do to fix it is to put

auth            optional        pam_kwallet5.so
auth            optional        pam_kwallet.so kdehome=.kde4
session         optional        pam_kwallet5.so
session         optional        pam_kwallet.so

into /etc/pam.d/sddm instead of /etc/pam.d/kde as the package does.

Well done ;-D

I hope arojas will find a working-out-of-the-box solution, eventually.
