How to get rid of the KDE Wallet pop up on every restart? - Sopuli

Since moving to EndeavourOS, one weird thing that popped up is that the default KDE wallet (which is needed for a few things, like storing nextcloud login) requires unlocking. I have tried creating a new wallet with the same password as my computer, which worked to auto-unlock the wallet in Fedora, but not in EndeavourOS. Is there something I need to configure to have the default kde wallet to unlock on login?

You have to add a line to the /etc/pam.d file for your greeter for KDE’s wallet. The arch wiki page for the KDE wallet should have the line(s) you need

I have tried adding the lines to /etc/pam.d/sddm as instructed, but after a restart, it still asks for the password to unlock the wallet.

It looks like kwallet takes more setup than I remembered, did you try following section 2.3 in the wiki page?

The other thing I can think of may not be relevant (been a while since I’ve used plasma now) but I’ve heard plasma has a built in greeter these days so maybe worth double checking to be sure you’re really using sddm. I feel like if it’s installed it’s safe to assume you’re using it, but if you’ve tried everything else this might be a worthwhile sanity check

Yes, I have followed all the steps in the “notes” box.

Okay then it’s probably worth double checking the basics again lol
1) do you have both kwallet and kwallet-pam installed? (pacman -Qs kwallet should show both) 2) is your only wallet named kdewallet with the exact same password as your user account? 3) is sddm the actual greeter you’re using? (This one’s a longshot but I’m running out of ideas 😂)

If it’s yes to all of these I honestly don’t know what to think, maybe it’d be worth trying another wallet to see if that’s any different

Yes, both kwallet and kwallet-pam have been installed

Yes, the kdewallet is the only wallet and has the same password (with blowfish rather than GPG keys), which I have checked by deleting and creating a new one

I am pretty sure I am using SDDM

Idk if this is more work than you wanna go to for it, but maybe install and configure gnome-keyring instead and see if that works? If the same thing works with that one, great, and if not at least the problem area has been narrowed down
