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.

KWallet and startx on Tumbleweed (lemmy.world)

I start KDE with startx on tumbleweed, everything works except that kwallet asks for my password when I launch discord or other apps. I installed pam_kwallet and made sure that my user password is identical to my kwallet password. Anyone knows how I could fix this?

My xinitrc seems to be sourced from /usr/libexec/xinit/xinitrc by default

You could go passwordless. If you go into System Settings > KDE Wallet > Access Control (tab) you can tell Plasma to show a prompt for access attempts. Then click on "Launch Wallet Manager", there open the wallet and select "Change Password". Leave it blank and confirm. Your wallet is now prompting you when an app wants to access it (for the very first time, not after you granted access once). No password is required ever.
