I start KDE with startx on tumbleweed, everything works except that kwallet asks for my password when I launch discord or other apps. I installed pam_kwallet and made sure that my user password is identical to my kwallet password. Anyone knows how I could fix this?

My xinitrc seems to be sourced from /usr/libexec/xinit/xinitrc by default

    You could go passwordless. If you go into System Settings > KDE Wallet > Access Control (tab) you can tell Plasma to show a prompt for access attempts. Then click on “Launch Wallet Manager”, there open the wallet and select “Change Password”. Leave it blank and confirm. Your wallet is now prompting you when an app wants to access it (for the very first time, not after you granted access once). No password is required ever.

    Dont run with startx lol. Thats a known issue.

    Why do you do that, to use XOrg while there is no option in SDDM?

    Look at /etc/sddm.conf

    pam_kwallet doesn’t get run on tty logins. By default it’s only added to display managers/greeters. You can add it to the relevant login file in /etc/pam.d and it may work, I’m not sure, there’s some ordering needed where you need to be halfway in a graphical session.

    The code seems to bail if it doesn’t detect a graphical session: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwallet-pam/-/blob/master/pam_kwallet.c?ref_type=heads#L222
