SUMMARY
It seems like KWallet can end up not auto unlocked caused by various conditions
(e.g. temporarily read-only home), as this discussed here:
https://discuss.kde.org/t/i-broke-my-kwallet-auto-login/40205 As you can see,
multiple users seem to have run into this, and there doesn't seem to be any
obvious way to fix it. Instead, KWallet is locked up when the session opens,
and any program accessing it will lead to a manual kwallet password prompt
which is cumbersome, but even worse, e.g. wifi auto connect apparently won't
work.
Regarding the fixing, here are ways I found of not fixing it: 1. there is no
"Reset KWallet situation" button in the autostarts pane in the KDE system
settings. 2. The "Defaults" button in the KDE wallet pane in the KDE System
Settings doesn't repair this situation either. 3. Rebooting doesn't help
either.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Unknown exact condition that results in KWallet auto unlock not being set up
on some systems
2. Try to fix KDE Wallet auto unlock
OBSERVED RESULT
There seems to be no working and obvious way to get it fixed.
EXPECTED RESULT
There is a working and obvious way to get it fixed.
