KDE Wallet is not unlocking at login

Alien · 2019-07-28 19:01:41

I want KDE Wallet to automatically unlock on login so I followed the instructions from the wiki but I can't make it work, each time I login the KDE Wallet password prompts appears and I have to unlock it manually.

Login and wallet passwords are the same, the name of the wallet is kdewallet, encrypted with blowfish, I'm logging in manually and I've recreated the original wallet.

I'm running Plasma with SDDM, this is my /etc/pam.d/sddm and it seems at it should says the wiki.

#%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

This is journalctl -b | grep kwallet as last login.

What am I doing wrong?

Same problem here, it always worked but since about january 2020 it stopped working. I'm on Arch+kde+sddm.

I have 2 systems with this issue, one on Arch and the other is Manjaro

Temet · 2020-04-05 17:17:32

Exactly the same issue as traviscthall, arch and manjaro having the issue.
I ended with the empty password, which I don't like that much as a solution

EDIT : not exactly true actually : happened every time ton Manjaro, sometimes in Arch. On Arch I still live with the "time to time" and enter the password.
Manjaro is my secondary laptop I don't use a lot but updated today and tried to fix this annoying issue.

Same problem here. Plasma + SDDM

Less +1s and more logs and diagnostics, please.

Since kwallet 5.70.0 it now works 2 times out of 3.
