Description Piotr Mierzwinski 2026-01-05 14:25:54 UTC
SUMMARY
Process /usr/bin/kwalletd6 is not terminated when user close Open Wallet Manager -> "File -> New Wallet" and immediately just close it. Because of that, when an user back to this option happens issues like crash of Wallet Manager, so no possibility to create any wallet.
I killed this process manually and I was able to open again "KDE Wallet Settings" to create new wallet.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Newly created user on fresh system
2. In System Settings open "Color & Themes" -> "Login Screen SDDM" -> "Behavior..."
3. Mark option "Automatically log in"
4. Press button "Open KDE Wallet Settings"
5. Click "File -> New wallet"
6. Click onto "Colors" in left panel and click discard changes
    If this is blocked then maybe firstly I closed Wallet Manager's windows and then opened "Colors", sorry I don't remember the order
7. Manually close Wallet Manager's windows (main and "New wallet")
8. Click again "Login Screen SDDM" -> "Behavior..."
9. Mark option "Automatically log in"
10. Press button "Open KDE Wallet Settings"

OBSERVED RESULT
Happens nothing or "Wallet Manager" crashes

EXPECTED RESULT
 "/usr/bin/kwalletd6" should be terminated in moment when user close window of "Wallet Manager" -> "New wallet", because no any wallet is created yet and this prevents the creation of a new wallet

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.23.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1

This looks very much like bug 504678, though at an earlier stage of the New Wallet wizard, and initiated from System Settings. That one should already be fixed, so not marking this as duplicate. This is probably either a different cause, or a similar cause in a different place.

Note that kwalletd6 shouldn't normally be terminated when the wizard is canceled, but it shouldn't become unresponsive either.
