## SUMMARY
I followed [Arch wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet) method to
store ssh private key passphrase in kwallet, but when I try to use ssh, I find
it asking the password every time despite it being stored in kwallet, and it
shows me this error:
```
$ ssh u...@example.com
Warning: fallback to QtQuick software backend.
qt.svg: link #path2410 is undefined!
kf.config.core: Created a KConfigGroup on an inaccessible config location
"kwalletrc" "Wallet"

Couldn't start kwalletd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected",
"Not connected to D-Bus server")
Couldn't start kwalletd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected",

Couldn't start kwalletd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected",

"Not connected to D-Bus server")
Couldn't start kwalletd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected",
"Not connected to D-Bus server")
```
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Follow the arch wiki link above.
2. Try to use ssh.
3. See `ksshaskpass` asking you for password, for the first time there a "Save
password" checkbox.
4. Open a new terminal, use ssh and notice `ksshaskpass` asking for the private
key passphrase again, and outputting the warnings above.
OBSERVED RESULT
ksshaskpass fails to connect to kwallet and outputs this error:
```
$ ssh u...@example.com
Warning: fallback to QtQuick software backend.

```
EXPECTED RESULT
To get the ssh password from kwallet and pass it to the ssh command for me, so
I can have passwordless login flow.
