Hello,
I am running a vanilla KDE install. I use kwallet to store my Wifi credentials and my ssh key's passphrase. However, starting today whenever I powered on my computer, I've been having to reinput my password every time I need to use SSH and every time I connect to the wifi.
I checked my journalctl, and I see the following:
Sep 06 14:00:03 TheCloutPC kwalletd6[1721]: kf.wallet.kwalletd: "Can't find session /org/freedesktop/secrets/session/1"
Sep 06 14:00:02 TheCloutPC wpa_supplicant[760]: wlp36s0: CTRL-EVENT-SIGNAL-CHANGE above=1 signal=-46 noise=9999 txrate=573500

Sep 06 13:59:59 TheCloutPC kwalletd6[1721]: kf.wallet.kwalletd: "Item not found"
Sep 06 13:59:59 TheCloutPC kwalletd6[1721]: kf.wallet.kwalletd: "Item not found"
Sep 06 13:59:59 TheCloutPC kwalletd6[1721]: kf.wallet.kwalletd: "Item not found"This error about "'Can't find session /org/freedesktop/secrets/session/1'" is repeated every time an app tries to access a secret stored within kwallet. I suspect its something to due with how kwallet interacts with apps via the freedesktop secrets standard.
Anybody else experiencing this?

That is sadly an old bug that is also present in GNOMEs Seahorse (even though they are urnelated).
You login the first time, you start KWallet/Seahorse --> you have to stop everything related to the wallet and logout/login again.
Its a known issue, since decades. Don't expect it to get fixed anytime soon^^ It is because when you start it the first time, it will initialize everything but the start scripts of the DE needs to be run again _after_ they are initialized to actually work. Kinda an chicken/egg issue.
So you're doing nothing wrong, that is just how it is^^

Lol this isn't a new login though. I think I had this kde install for over 3-5 years now.

Ah okay wow, then this should absolutely not happen. But since it works now, it's hard to tell why it didn't^^
But on that case, you probably hit something else
But in case you'll setup a new user, you now know what to look for^^
