I’m running Manjaro with Plasma 6.3.5 and I’ve hit an issue where Dolphin hangs for a long time when trying to open an SFTP bookmark. I also noticed KWalletManager hangs or fails to open.
Digging into it, I found this error:
An error occurred when connecting to the KWallet service:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
I checked the process:
ps -ef | grep kwalletd
It shows kwalletd6 is running, but when I run it manually with debugging:
KWALLET_DAEMON_DEBUG=1 kwalletd6
…I get repeating messages like:
libsecret-CRITICAL **: secret_service_load_collections_sync: assertion 'paths != NULL' failed kf.wallet.kwalletd: "Could not connect to Secret Service"
From what I gather, kwalletd6 now expects a working Secret Service backend (like ksecrets or gnome-keyring), but I can’t find any ksecrets package in the Manjaro or Arch repos.
So my questions are:
Is this a known Plasma 6 issue in Manjaro right now?
Should I be installing gnome-keyring as a workaround to provide the missing Secret Service?
Is there an ETA or plan to package ksecrets properly for Plasma 6 users?
Thanks in advance — just trying to confirm the “right” fix before I start patching things with GNOME components.
It was, and had you paid attention to the (previous) Stable Updates thread and/or looked around on the forum, then you would have known that it was solved by downgrading kwallet.
But that’s all academic now, because there was another Stable Update today, and everything should now work as desired.

I already had the update for today (this morning), that was when i first noticed it after that.
Well, that is the correct version. As I gather, the introduction of the secrets daemon — I think it’s called ksecretsd — should have been in this update of KDE Frameworks, but I don’t have it on my system either, and over here, I am not having any problems. But then again, I also don’t have any sftp bookmarks.
I do however use kmail, and chromium also depends on kwallet, and both of those work normally.
hmm, well its not just the sftp, i can’t access my wallet (the wallet manger) at all. Its odd though as I’d have thought my wifi would “complain” (but it don’t) as would other things that have passwords in there but its just the dolphin sftp credentials that are hanging but the sftp does actually connect after a long long while so it is getting the login data at some point.
I’ve put a link to this thread on the Stable Updates thread, given that this may have been an oversight in the package selection. I don’t really know what else I can do.
