Hello! I use an Arch Linux distro with KDE on an ASUS X570 board that has built-in wifi. The issue is that I can't for the life of me get the wifi to work without asking me for the wifi password what feels like every hour. The hardware is active, the software is active, Network Manager is active, the wifi profile is fine, the SSID is fine, the security type is set properly, the password is saved and set to use for all users. I've tried restarting Network Manager, installing Network Manager with iwd backend, updating my system, restarting my system, and using nmtui to force home wifi.

Kwallet shouldn't ask for password on each start of the system unless you set a different password for it than for your user account. If those are the same and the kwallet is named kwallet (or something like that, it's the default name) then it automatically unlocks on user login

The password for kwallet is different bc I thought I might have ended up using it to manage money. I did not.

change it to be the same and it shouldn't prompt you to open it anymore. The wifi password issue should go too

Do you know how I would do that when I cannot access kwallet from the settings?

[-] moreeni@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

KWallet Manager is the app to do all things KWallet. It should come preinstalled with KDE Plasma

Apparently I had uninstalled the kwallet manager. I'll change the password and see if my problem still occurs.

The issue still occurs, but not nearly as often as it did before.

Unfortunately, the wifi password issue still occurs, but at least it is even less frequent than before (>1 day between password requests).

I restarted my system. All of my configurations should be equivalent to those in the wiki. I'll reply again if the issue still occurs in a few days.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
