I got tired of chromium nagging on every start about a wallet - so i tried to create one and setting up PAM by following the arch wiki instructions Then on next boot, system doesn’t connect to wifi - i presume this is because the credentials have been stuffed into the wallet (which it never told me…

Do you use autologin or do you login by typing in your password on the login screen?

currently i let kde auto-login on boot - it doesn’t autologin on “resume from sleep” Sometimes it is nice to have autologin, but other times I don’t really care for it.

I just needed to know because the process is different depending on that one factor. If you don’t use autologin.

Most techniques depend on you entering your password at least once. The idea is to make it so you don…

given the pros and cons i can think of; it seems sacrificing autologin is the easiest way out. Not ideal, but acceptable.

For pam_autologin, I found this thread on the forums. Maybe it will help: [image] How to configure pam_autologin Newbie The wiki article states that you should add the autologin line to /etc/pam.d/login, not to etc/pam.d/sddm. If the login process is run by a PAM-based a…

How do i correctly set up PAM for kdewallet?
