Vorta cannot get password from KWallet anymore - regression between 0.10.3 and 0.11.1 #2327
Description
Description
After upgrading Vorta from 0.10.3 to 0.11.1 from Flatpak yesterday, I can no longer run backups.
Vorta says:
Your repo passphrase was stored in a password manager which is no longer available. Try unlinking and re-adding your repo.
I use KUbuntu 24.04 and KWallet is working fine (passwords are there). The problem lies in vorta/keyring/kwallet.py, which cannot be initialized any more. Vorta log says:
2025-12-17 20:56:56,809 - vorta.keyring.abc - DEBUG - No module named 'objc'

On the second line you can see an empty error message printed by https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/blob/master/src/vorta/keyring/abc.py#L28, while trying to initialize the KWallet implementation.
If I replace /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.borgbase.Vorta/x86_64/stable/active/files/lib/python3.12/site-packages/vorta/keyring/kwallet.py with the version from 0.10.3, downloaded from GitHub, I can make my backups work again.
