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?

    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

        Wait, I wonder if it’s because I’m using Howdy facial login? Since the wiki states that fingerprint doesn’t work to auto unlock the wallet, maybe Howdy can’t either?

          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
