Hi!
Since I got the last update of KDE PLasma 5.18.2-1 my desktop is having a weird behavior. I haven't used kwallet before this update and since I received this update I had to install kwallet and keep it to be able to connect to my Wi-Fi network automatically.
Another issue I've found is that the system tray icons get broken sometimes. Sometimes they appear just right, but almost every time I log in to my KDE PLasma Desktop some of them don't appear.
Is there anyone else with these issues? Does anyone know any way to fix them?
Cheers!

Is kded5 running?

Hi, how can I check if it's running? I don't know too much about how kwallet and kded work yet.
Thank you!

I have your opposite problem, been using kdewallet since installation and now the auto unlock doesn't work:

Hello,
I've got the same issue of missing icons in systray. Kde icons are displayed fine but other applications (slack, KeepassXC, Nextcloud...) are missing :
Kded5 is running.
In journald, I have this error several times :
plasmashell[1006]: file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.private.systemtray/contents/ui/items/StatusNotifierItem.qml: ReferenceError: Icon is not defined
If anyone have an idea ?
Thanks

Hi,
Same missing systray icons (Slack, FlameShot, Octopi, etc...) issue here since upgrade on KDE plasma 5.18 (was perfectly working with 5.17.x).
I have try a lot of things without finding a real fix.
However, I guess that running this command help a bit (after disconnect/reconnect the user session):
kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental
Another thing which works most of the time:
login with your user => missing icon in systray
logout
login with another user
logout from this other user
login with your user again => no missing icon in systray anymore!
After that systray icons are correctly displayed for a long time (usually until the next plasma/kde package upgrade)

About Network Manager asking to store your wifi passwords in kwallet, you can...
or:
install kwallet
create a blowfish encrypted wallet with an empty password
forgot about it!
or (not recommended but still should works):
open Network Manager settings (upper right icon in the Network Manager systray panel)
select your wifi network
go on "security" tab
enter your wifi network password
on the dropdown choose to store your password without encryption
save
do the same things for all your wifi networks...
My advise, as kwallet is the chosen solution to store encrypted things in KDE, is to install/setup/use it.
The trick is to create an "unprotected" wallet (empty password) the first time and so KDE will automatically open and use your wallet on login without asking anything else after that.
NB: @deleted => it could be a workaround for you until sddm can unlock you wallet through pam again.
Hope this help.
Cheers too!
