KDE su won’t remember password (lemm.ee)

Hello,

I have a fresh install of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6.3.5.

Every time I open an app which needs root privileges (such as myrlyn) I’m greeted by the KDE su window to enter my password. Even if I tick “Remember my password”, this does not have any effects, and the next time I’m asked for my password again.

Any idea on how to ensure the “Remember my password” setting in KDE su is honoured?

Thanks!

Just a guess but usually similar kde dialogs usually use kwallet.

I think I have seen something similar in the past if I didn't have a wallet setup (remember password dialogs would be ignored). I might have even explicitly deleted the default wallet when I ran into that

So maybe check that you have a default kwallet that is opened.
