Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the sign-in loss on Fedora Kinoite by signing in, quitting or restarting Unity Hub, and reviewing the reported KWallet and D-Bus output; the issue is done when the session remains authenticated after reopening Hub without manually granting session-bus permissions.

What Happened

When restarting Unity Hub, I have to sign in again. I should stay logged in.
The command line output shows errors connecting to kwallet, so I assumes its just dbus permissions missing. See comment.

How to Reproduce
  1. Open Unity Hub
  2. Sign in
  3. Restart pc or quit hub from the system tray
  4. Open Unity Hub again
  5. I am not signed in
Operating System

Fedora Kinoite 43

Anything else?

I manually gave permission to communicate with the following sessison busses:

  • org.freedesktop.DBus
  • org.kde.kwalletd6

This successfully solved the issue.
