Unlocking KWallet from tty login

Hello,

I am facing the issue that KWallet is not being unlocked on tty login. Of course, I followed the instructions in the Arch Wiki modifying /etc/pam.d/login as needed.

The file looks as follows:

#%PAM-1.0

auth       required     pam_securetty.so
auth       requisite    pam_nologin.so
auth       include      system-local-login
auth       optional     pam_kwallet5.so
account    include      system-local-login
session    include      system-local-login
session    optional     pam_kwallet5.so auto_start force_run

I added the force_run parameter because of the following log entry:

 pam_kwallet5(login:session): pam_kwallet5: not a graphical session, skipping. Use force_run parameter to ignore this. 

Unfortunately, KWallet still does not unlock on login.
The logs state:

Mär 06 18:24:27 T450 login[1737]: pam_kwallet5-kwalletd: Couldn't listen in socket

Mär 06 18:24:27 T450 login[1733]: pam_kwallet5(login:setcred): pam_kwallet5: pam_sm_setcred

Unlocking KWallet through SDDM works. (I added my fix to ArchWiki a couple days ago)

Is there a way to get this working?
