Re: KDE5: How do i completely disable/remove kdewallet

I couldn't find any way to get kwallet off my system. There are some dependency issues and pacman won't let you remove the package.
However I managed to avoid the irritating pop ups.

• First you need to remove any existing wallet. Delete the files under ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/.

• Next time you do anything that interests Kwallet, it will pop up again. But this time it will ask you for an encryption method, blowfish or gpg. Select blowfish and when asked for a password, provide an empty password.

• It won't ask for password anymore.

This method worked for me on kwallet 5.13. Hopefully it will work for you too.

Live long and prosper.

Systemsettings --> Useraccount Details --> KDE Passwordstorage --> Disable KDE Wallet (transcribed since LC_ALL=C doesn't really seem to work here) doesn't work?

» "pacman Sy kwalletmanager"
» Start the kwalletmanager
» Go to settings > configure wallet.
» Uncheck the box "Enable the KDE wallet subsystem".

Please mark it as solved

Please don't necrobump.

Closing.

Edit: and if you followed that advice, make sure you complete the upgrade (pacman -Su): https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … nsupported
