Disable "KDE Wallet Service" dialog which keeps popping up?

Hi,

I just upgraded from KDE 4 to plasma 5.

Now whenever I start or exit chrome, a dialog pops up with "KDE Wallet Service" "The application 'Google Chrome' has requested to create a new wallet name 'kdewallet'", etc ....

Basically, I don't want nor need it, but am unable to get permanently rid of the dialog, and it comes back every time.

I already tried disabling the "kwallet sub system", but the dialog still appears.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I don't use KDE, but I tried a web search for "disable kde wallet chrome" and got this page: http://superuser.com/questions/994551/d … rom-chrome

Try this:

You can completely disable the KWallet backend by adding the following command-line flag to Chrome: --password-store=basic
If you're using ArchLinux's Chromium build, edit ~/.config/chromium-flags.conf and add:

--password-store=basic

If that doesn't work, try that web search yourself and see if you find something better.

I found this result too, but I think KDE is at fault, not chrome, since kde is what changed. Changing a chrome flag won't fix KDE.

This problem didn't exist with KDE4. I actually don't know where chrome stored passwords then, but I never allowed it to remember important ones (if any at all) and I care more about KDE not spamming. I never used kwallet and don't want now just because it spams me all the time. If I want a password manager I'll carefully choose it myself thank you very much.

chromium tries to use kwallet, kwallet asks whether that's ok. if you'd manage to stop it from doing so, you'd just end up with a silent failure.
I cannot really say, but assume that  you simply went w/o kwallet on KDE4 (while it's presently a hard dependency of kio)

You should be able to deny chrome in kwallet (from the asking dialog or kwalletmanager) but if you want to use chromiums internal wallet instead, you got to convince it to prefer that.

I hope I'm not stating the obvious, but have you tried this?

Your KWallet password would have to be the same as your username password and you would have to use the standard blowfish encryption, though.

Maybe this works for disabling kwallet?
