KDEWallet won't automatically unlock

Hi,

I'm using KDEWallet. I've only created one wallet named kdewallet which uses blowfish encryption. I've followed the instructions here for sddm: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE_Wallet.

KDEWallet still doesn't automatically unlock when I login. Is this a bug or something I'm missing?

Thanks

Re: KDEWallet won't automatically unlock

Since you haven't posted any of the relevant files or information, it's hard to tell if you've missed something.

Which DM, how do the verbatim files look that you adjusted now? Did you make sure your kwallet password is the same as your login password?

It works here with SDDM.

Re: KDEWallet won't automatically unlock

I'm using SDDM and KDE.

> pacman -Qs kwallet-pam
local/kwallet-pam 5.11.5-1 (plasma)
    KWallet PAM integration

> cat /etc/pam.d/sddm
#%PAM-1.0

auth            include         system-login
auth            optional        pam_kwallet5.so
account         include         system-login
password        include         system-login
session         include         system-login
session         optional        pam_kwallet5.so auto_start

Note the instructions state:

if you are not using SDDM, edit your login manager pam file and add the lines under their corresponding sections:

Which implies you don't need to change the pam config if using SDDM, however auto-unlocking doesn't seem to work with or without those kwallet lines in /etc/pam.d/sddm

Lastly My user account password and kde wallet password are identical.

Re: KDEWallet won't automatically unlock

Looks alright.

Does

journalctl -b | grep kwallet

give  us any information here? Is it really not opening or do you have it e.g. configured to close after x amount of seconds or after "the last application" accessed it, and the relevant event only happens after it is already closed again?

That does have some information

I don't have the wallet configured to close under any circumstances. Also this happens if I try and open KWallet straight after I login.

I'll see if I can find anything regarding the error code tomorrow.
