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?

Yes, I have followed all the steps in the "notes" box.

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
