Hi all,

I am trying to set this up so that I do not have to enter the password always twice. Unfortunately plasma5 comes with no config at all for this despite emerging kwallet-pam, as seen from the fact that it installs a single file only.

Code:
>>> Merging kde-plasma/kwallet-pam-5.5.1 to /
--- /lib64/
--- /lib64/security/
>>> /lib64/security/pam_kwallet5.so
>>> Safely unmerging already-installed instance...


This way it is not functioning at all of course and there is no mentioning of pam_kwallet5.so in /etc/pam.d, so I tried to hack it myself. This is my pam.d/sddm:
Code:
#%PAM-1.0

auth            include         system-login
auth            optional        pam_kwallet5.so
account         include         system-login
password        include         system-login
session         include         system-login
session         optional        pam_kwallet5.so auto_start


And the result in the log files is

Code:
Dec 20 18:09:08 core sddm-helper: pam_kwallet5(sddm:auth): (null): pam_sm_authenticate
Dec 20 18:09:08 core sddm-helper: pam_kwallet5(sddm:setcred): pam_kwallet5: pam_sm_setcred
Dec 20 18:09:08 core sddm-helper: pam_unix(sddm:session): session opened for user schleusner by (uid=0)
Dec 20 18:09:11 core sddm-helper: pam_ck_connector(sddm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0
Dec 20 18:09:11 core sddm-helper: pam_kwallet5(sddm:session): pam_kwallet5: pam_sm_open_session
Dec 20 18:09:11 core sddm-helper: pam_kwallet5(sddm:session): pam_kwallet5: final socket path: /tmp/kwallet5_schleusner.socket


Does not look too bad for me or I at least fail to see the problem, but nevertheless, kwallet pops up at each login and asks for my password the second time.

Is there something misconfigured or is this simply of the many bugs in plasma5?

What I am using here currently is QT-(~)5.5.1 and kde-{M}(~)15.12.0, but I was also trying the git-master-9999 version 2 weeks ago, on which I gave up after it failed to compile in more than 50% of the updates. But the pam_kwallet5 thing didn't work either in that version.

Any ideas?

Looking into this myself, doing as you have done, and getting the exact same output. It seems maybe something is off with the env I tried this via command line, same thing I saw running already.

Code:
$ kwalletd5 --pam-login 9 12
Checking for pam module
Got pam-login
kwalletd: Waiting for hash on 9-
Hash or environment not received
kwalletd5 started
Migration agent starting...
Setting useNewHash to true
Wallet new enough, using new hash


I will update if I find out anything further, but this is why its not working.

Well, I also get basically an endless timeout trying this command

Quote:
kwalletd5: Checking for pam module
kwalletd5: Got pam-login param
kwalletd5: Waiting for hash on 9-


Then nothing happens. Upon system login it immediately pops up the prompt. Either way, something is not working as expected here.

I think I finally got this working. Which log in manager are you using. Have you tried sddm. Its either sddm and/or newer version of kwallet, 5 in tree, ~arch. I will see about installing sddm on my laptop with kwallet slot 4 still and see if it works or not. If not that will confirm updating kwallet fixes it or sddm. I think its kwallet update that is required but could be sddm and some issue with kdm. There is no slot 4 of kwallet-pam, so probably requires kwallet 5.

It seems at this time the kwallet-pam ebuild is bound to kde:5/plasma:5. It needs a use flag or something to allow it to build with kde:4 libraries and stuff. Thus this will never work with kde:4 on gentoo till a USE flag is added and/or kwallet/kwalletmanager is updated to slot :5 with oldwallet USE flag set on kwalletmanager. SDDM or KDM have nothing to do with it as it seems.

Coming back to this, I have here:

x11-misc/sddm
Available versions: (~)0.13.0-r1 (~)0.13.0-r3 {consolekit +pam systemd}

{debug doc gpg test}
Installed versions: 5.19.0(5)(21:56:38 03.03.2016)(gpg -debug -doc -test)

kde-plasma/kwallet-pam
Available versions: (5) (~)5.4.3-r1 (~)5.5.4 (~)5.5.5 [M](~)5.5.95^m[1] **5.6.49.9999[1] **9999[1]
{debug}
Installed versions: 5.5.5(5)(17:34:42 05.03.2016)(-debug)

As you can see these versions are all clean plasma:5 slot versions. There is no slot 4 version of either kwallet or kwalletmanager installed. This should therefore not be a slot conflict?

It is still not working with 5.5.5, so it seems to me one of the slot5 components is not doing its work...

Works fine for me, both kde-apps/kwalletd:4 with kde-apps/kwalletd-pam:4 as well as kde-frameworks/kwallet:5 with kde-plasma/kwallet-pam:5. Tested with both KDM as well as SDDM.

Did you check what kind of wallet is actually popping up at startup?

NetworkManager detects the wifi and wants to read the password from the system-default wallet, which has the passwords for the wifi, email etc. from this user.

I have the password to be the same as the user password that I use in sddm to login the user.

If you rebuild kde-plasma/kwallet-pam:5, what's in the log at the end?

Code:
emerge -1 kde-plasma/kwallet-pam:5

Could you try with a clean session? (disable session restore on login in systemsettings)

You mean Workspace->Start and Shutdown->At login->start with empty session? (I am not using english settings so this is translated)

That is what I use as the session restore does anyway not work with kde:5 applications and virtual desktops (it dumps them all on the desktop no 1 therefore I have it set on empty session). So I always start with a "clean session".

Does kwallet-pam work with wallets using GPG encryption?

It didn't work in the beginning (known limitation), at least, but I don't know if it has changed in the meantime.

That's what I suspected. Previously with KDE 4 I used seperate passwords for login and wallet and I had no issues. However with Plasma 5 I'm always prompted for the wallet password immediately after login. This is very annoying, so I attempted to workaround this by enabling wallet auto-unlocking. Is there anyway to prevent kwallet prompting for the password after login without disabling the kwallet subsystem?

Well, what application is requesting the wallet?

Chromium is the only application that stores passwords in the wallet. The request happens during the splash screen immediately after login, so I don't think it's Chromium. However based on my experience with KDE 4, I believe the actual request is being made by KWalletManager.

The actual password dialog tells you what application wants to access it.

I only get a pinentry passphrase dialog for the GPG key, and it doesn't mention which application is making the request.

I have stoped the pinentry request immediately after login by commenting out the following in /etc/pam.d/sddm:
Code:
-auth          optional        pam_kwallet5.so
-session       optional        pam_kwallet5.so auto_start

Now the pinentry request is only made when I start Chromium, which is how it worked for me in KDE 4.

Interesting, so in that case kwallet-pam worked in the exact opposite direction of what it originally intended ;)
