[Solved] Google chrome keeps nagging me...

Dear

I recently rm'ed my home dir from another partition Stupid me...

I'm rebuilding stuff, but I have lost one crucial setting for Google Chrome:
- I have disabled kwalletmanager in the Q4OS KDE system settings
- I have emptied / deleted ~/.local/share/kwalletd/
- I have added "--password-store=basic" to the EXEC statement in /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

I also remember having installed a certain package that was recommended to solve such a situation, but cannot recall the name.

With all that, I still get the kwallet popup when starting chrome, and only need to hit ESC to get in. But I'm missing the final quirk to stop that popup from showing up at all.

Can you please help?

Thank you so much,

T.

This should work:
$ kwriteconfig5 --file "$HOME/.config/kwalletrc" --group "Wallet" --key "Enabled" "false"
$ chmod a+r $HOME/.config/kwalletrc
Reboot.

Re: [Solved] Google chrome keeps nagging me...

Thanks a lot. I tried that, but I was still getting "The keyring was not automatically unlocked when you logged in to this computer" when starting google chrome.

Doing some more googling, I found this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/31786/c … on-startup

Therein, user xinthose says "rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/*"

After that, the nag was finally gone.

Thanks to all for your help.
