Hello everyone!

I daily drive a Nobara install with my main drive being an LUKS encrypted M.2 drive. Every time I boot my computer I get presented with the password prompt to unlock the drive and afterwards get prompted with my login manager to login.

Is there any way to combine these steps into a single prompt? It is starting to get a bit annoying having two steps every time I boot.

    Be aware that kwallet will require you to enter your password if you auto-login. Kwallet usually saves your passwords for wifi etc. That’s why auto-login with KDE doesn’t make much of a difference in most use cases

      Can you configure KWallet with no password? Often you can do something like set an empty password and it will auto-decrypt with no prompt.

      This may be undesirable as apps running in your user can access what is in KWallet but honestly this is probably the case anyways. If you are running unsandboxed untrusted applications you have already lost.

      This is fine for my use case. I don run wifi on my gaming rig but I guess I’ll see if any other things prompt me for password after logging in next time.

      Edit: Nope, I have no clue what is even possibly stored in Kwallet, if anything, but it still pops up and requests password. Ironically i went from typing my password 2 times to 3 times by enabling auto-login. I know have to unlock the keyring once I login, and then unlock Kwallet once I try to launch Discord. We love it.
