[SOLVED] KDE wallet problem on a fresh arch linux install
My user password was set correctly so I can use sudo in terminal. However I get 'Auth failure please try again" when launching any gui application. Screenshot: https://ibb.co/8Mm529y

Re: [SOLVED] KDE wallet problem on a fresh arch linux install
That's not up to the KDE wallet but up to polkit. Polkit by default considers users that are part of the wheel group users that can and should be prompted for their password. So either add your user to the wheel group, or adjust the rules that make polkit consider your user an admin: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Polkit … identities

su asks root password, not user password.
From su wiki page:
By default, when running as a regular user, you will be prompted for the password of the user you are attempting to become. When running su as root, no password is required.
If no username is passed, su assumes the root user, and the password for which you are prompted will be that of root.
I'm just someone. Please use [code] [/code] tags.
