Bug ID: 504254
Summary: Failure to unlock wallet at boot causing kwallet
passphrase prompts in the middle of user session
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: kwallet-pam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: andrea.i...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
For the past couple of days I have noticed the kwallet password prompt popup
appearing in the middle of my session, something I had never seen, since the
wallet passphrase matches my user's password, and so it would usually unlock at
login.
I checked the journal and found this:
```
❯ journalctl -b | grep wallet
