[Post-Install] PAM library for kwallet6..?

[coffee478]

hi. Is there a PAM library suitable for use with kwallet 6? I accidentally installed libpam-kwallet5 and it's not working to unlock kwallet automatically upon login with the default wallet name set, and the password being identical to the login password, and wallet was set up with blowfish.

It's really ****ing annoying to unlock the wallet 500 times a day when just conducting normal operations, so I hope there is a solution that I'm just not aware of..

Are you using auto-login? Kawallet does not work with that. A workaround is to set a blank password to the wallet.

If you are not using autologin, this it *should* work; it does for me here, and I have both libpam-kwallet-common
and libpam-kwallet5, though this is an upgrade. I had a fresh install for testing until recently, and had no issues with the wallet - no autologin there.

I can't seem to locate strong instructions on how to recover that functionality if things get broken nowadays, or you switch back from autologin.

Not sure what Kwallet is using in place of pam, since the move to libsecret.
