So I just installed opensuse KDE for the first time and when I was typing password for my WiFi, instead of connecting me, some window appeared asking for creating encrypted wallet. I don’t need that so I turned it off in the system settings, but then my PC always forgets my WiFi pasword after shutdown. So I turned on and created that wallet, but now every time PC turns on I have to unlock the wallet before PC connects to WiFi.

This is first time I have come across something like this. I even used opensuse before just not KDE version.

Can I just uninstall it? I don’t have good experience with uninstalling KDE dependencies. Will PC keep forgetting passwords without it? I just want PC to automatically connect to WiFi without my input.

    This acually worked. It was basically fresh install, so I reinstalled it again without checking automatic login, just to be sure. Now WiFi works as expected without dealing with the wallet. Thank you. Now when I think about it, this was probably first time I checked automatic login for anything outside of VM, that is probably why I haven’t seen it before.

    When people want to automatically login I doubt they want to unlock the wallet every time. This seems stupid.

      It is a security thing, if you are auto logged in most people don’t want their wallet keys totally available. And yeah it is a pain I found with KDE, at least with GNOME login it auto-unlocked your wallet (which can be set not to)
