if i use sddm to login to kde instead of gdm i don't have to manually unlock kwallet and write my password twice this is revolutionary

@chjara the world if there were standards

@trwnh that's too windowsbrained

@chjara i mean like if the display manager and keyring could talk to each other somehow

@trwnh are there actually no freedesktop standards or whatever for this?

@chjara @trwnh PAM is supposed to handle that so whatever your distro is probably fucked up with the pam configs

@chjara well i guess there's systemd-logind https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-logind.service.html#

and that talks with PAM https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/pam_systemd.html#

and that can be used to unlock GNOME Keyring https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects(2f)GnomeKeyring(2f)Pam.html

but kwallet might require kwallet-pam or some extra config https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet#Configure_PAM

@charlotte @trwnh apparently yeah kwallet needs a special PAM module which sddm does by default but not gdm

@chjara @trwnh it works fine on other distros i have used™ this is probably [x distro probably arch] misconfiguring shit

@charlotte @trwnh i'm on fedora
looking at /etc/pam.d/gdm-password it has a line for the GNOME keyring but not kwallet

@chjara @trwnh ah i misunderstood you then

i thought the problem was that kwallet unlocked on gdm but not on sddm

@chjara @trwnh then it might be a gnome moment
