It seems that this kwallet keeps coming up if i try to connect to wifi, or try to run chrome and now shutting down virt-manager. I don’t know why this component is installed. There is nothing in system settings for kwallet. I don’t know how to deal with it or set it up or get gpg key for it. How can i uninstall it without ripping everything else it’s tied to apart.

I don’t understand how this works. Where am i supposed to put a password?
Edit: I managed to stop it from coming up on the Wifi by putting an unecrytped password in my WiFi settings. It’s not coming up for chrome but now when i close virt-manger the box comes up.
Not the same and i have no wallet set up. This is what’s frustrating me. It just opens another box wanting to encrypt it. This box is new from kwalletmanager. It’s not the box that comes up.
You’re making it more complicated than it needs to be. Do not turn off KWallet, just create a wallet, make sure it has the same password as your user and forget about it.
Use a blowfish encrypted file, not GPG. That’s simpler.
This is another clean install. I’ve installed it again so many times trying to figure out how to get rid of this problem. I never ever had this problem with kwallet.
Edit: Seems to have gone away now. So i had to add another password?
To get rid of this FOR ME! unnecessary stuff without problems was the ulterior motive to install with the new ISO. It turns out that this idea was brilliant
Edit: Maybe this is because I did not use kio during the installation.
I just want to point out the disabling the wallet will mean that many applications will start storing passwords and other secrets in plain text. Generally speaking, it isn’t a great idea.
