The correct way to fix this issue is not to comment out the lines
mentioning kwallet, but to make the modules silent by prepending a '-'
(dash) to each line. Example:
# /etc/pam.d/lightdm
-auth optional pam_kwallet.so
-auth optional pam_kwallet5.so
-session optional pam_kwallet.so auto_start
-session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start
Same in /etc/pam.d/lightdm-greeter.
This feature is mentioned in the pam.conf(5) manpage:
If the type value from the list above is prepended with a - character
the PAM library will not log to the system log if it is not possible to
load the module because it is missing in the system. This can be useful
especially for modules which are not always installed on the system and
are not required for correct authentication and authorization of the
login session.

Title:
Running without pam-kwallet installed issues a warning in auth.log
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:

Status in pam package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
After upgrading to lightdm 1.10.0-0ubuntu2 I started to see this error
in auth.log:
Apr 10 14:34:54 simon-laptop lightdm: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_kwallet.so):
/lib/security/pam_kwallet.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
Apr 10 14:34:54 simon-laptop lightdm: PAM adding faulty module: pam_kwallet.so
This seems like a regression because with lightdm 1.10.0-0ubuntu1 or
before I didn't have this error showing. FYI, I don't have the pam-
kwallet package installed.
