[Bug 1335135] Re: PAM KWallet integration not working

[Donatas Glodenis]

It also affects Kubuntu Vivid. However, there is a twist to it, which
might be true of other affected systems as well.

I do have to enter kdewallet password after I log in through SDDM - pam-
kwallet does not work in that case. But if, before I log in through
SDDM, I login through one of the virtual consoles into the text mode
(hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 and enter my credentials), and login through SDDM
afterwards, I do not have to enter kdewallet password - pam-kwallet
works in that case.

Now, I noticed about the original reporter, that he uses encrypted home
directory (EcryptfsInUse: Yes). I do use it as well. I created a user
without encrypted home directory, and for that user pam-kwallet works as
expected.

So my guess is that the bug is related somehow to the fact that the home
directory is encrypted. May it be that pam-kwallet tries to communicate
the password to kwallet _before_ the home directory is mounted, and
therefore - fails?

I see there are people on other distributions testing the same
hypothesis: https://www.redhat.com/archives/pam-
list/2014-October/msg00000.html

By the way, even if I have the pam-kwallet working on the unencrypted
home dir, I still have the "zombie" kwalletd process.
