If you’re a Kubuntu user (or, like me, an Ubuntu user with multiple desktop environments installed, including KDE), you may have noticed that every time you start Chromium (or Google Chrome) web browser, KDE Wallet pops up and asks for authentication. While you can just exit that without having to enter your password, one can be forgiven for finding it irritating to have to do so every time the browser is opened. But it’s actually quite easy to disable, and all you have to do is enter the following into a terminal:
gedit ~/.kde/share/config/kwalletrc
Once the file opens, hit Ctrl+End to go to the bottom of the file, hit Enter a couple of times (so there will be a blank paragraph between the last entry and the test you’ll be pasting), and add the following:
[Auto Deny]
kdewallet=Chromium
(substitute “Google Chrome” instead of “Chromium” if using the former)
Save and exit the file. Log out and back in again for the changes to take effect, or simply enter the following into the terminal:
killall -9 kwalletd
That’s it – the next time you open Chromium/Google Chrome, kwallet will no longer appear to annoy you.
