Installation suggestion/bug/fix

General system EndeavourOS installation
1

Hello everyone, first of all I want to thank you for your work and for making what is for me the best ArchLinux derivative.

Let’s get to the point, yesterday I installed EndeavourOS to my mother. since she is an elderly person I decided to use automatic logging in the installation.

the problem was that every time I started the pc the kdwallet sign popped up and no matter what I put it would not let me connect to the wireless connection and to make matters worse, inside the KDE plasma configuration there was no option to disable kdwallet because the package that enabled it was not installed (which I could not do manually either because I could not connect to the internet).
So I make this post because I do not know if it is a bug of the automatic installation with auto log in enabled and can be solved in future ISOS, if it is done that way for some reason, or maybe adding the said package in the default installation could solve it.

I think it is an easily reproducible problem if someone from the EndeavourOS team wants to look at it. I used the off line installation with the Btrfs file system, auto logging and the option to erase the disk and override the previous installation.

Once again thanks to all the community for their effort and being so nice. It’s a pleasure to be part of this purple family.

Greetings from Argentina.

Hello @AlfreX ,
I may be wrong and if the lower security is acceptable for you:
kate ~/.config/kwalletrc
and add these 2 lines:

[Wallet]
Enabled=false

Right click at Network in panel and Select Configure Network Connections…
Add wifi password and (below) select Store password for all users (not encrypted)
Apply
Reboot. Test it. It seems to work here.

Also basically nothing we can change.. not installing kwallet is not an option disable it by default? not a good option too.
In general it will not do what you said, it will open the wallet with sddm (login manager to the Desktop).

in case you can reset kwallet and start from scratch so it will stop reasking:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/kwalletd/
rm -f ~/.config/kwalletrc
rm -f ~/.config/kwalletmanager6rc

and
reboot..

After this it will open up again and you can set a new password..
