Description Nate Graham 2021-11-18 16:35:54 UTC

Everything KDE from git master in a Wayland session with systemd startup.

My KWallet wallet is set up correctly to unlock automatically on login. However when KWin restarts, the wallet locks again and does not automatically unlock. Instead it displays a password prompt and makes me unlock manually. This is 100% reproducible simply by restarting KWin with `kstart -- kwin_wayland --replace`.

Possibly related to Bug 436442.

I can confirm that the fix for Bug 448479 fixes the issue on login, but it still happens for me when I restart kwin_wayland manually or it crashes. Un-marking as a duplicate.

Restarting kwin wayland will cause all clients to quit. Including the unlocked PAM.

* including the unlocked kwallet.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2022-02-14 23:33:01 UTC

Okay...

So assuming we can't make KWin never ever crash, how do we fix this so that the newly-started KWallet instance unlocks automatically like it does when you log in? I have difficulty believing that this is impossible.
