SUMMARY
As reported downstream in the Manjaro forums, after Manjaro Unstable updated
KDE Frameworks to 6.14 it seems like Kwallet lost my Wireguard private and
preshared keys:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/unstable-update-may-2025/177492/40?u=majormayer
Since I activate the the connection automatically, a dialog appeared after
every boot that prompts for "some" password, without any explanation which
password or rather key is actually meant (it overwrites/ sets the private key
actually).
I was able to fix the problem by setting the correct values using the
NetworkManager GUI.
The VPN applet in KDE's settings didn't allow me to apply my changes for
whatever reason (the apply button was in disabled state, no matter what I
entered, without any explanation).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Disclosure: I haven't tried to reproduce this problem, I just wanted to report
it, because the VPN connection was working for years already.
1. Set a Wireguard VPN using KDEs settings
2. Upgrade to KDE Frameworks 6.14
3. Try to connect again
OBSERVED RESULT
A dialog appears that asks for some password to establish the connection
EXPECTED RESULT
The connection should be established without any new keys or passwords
