Can I stop amarok opening kwallet?

[jlittle]

Some time after amarok starts, usually at login, I get the open kwallet prompt, and it's annoying.

I use and like* kwallet, and keep important stuff in it, so I don't want to disable it in system settings.

What does amarok use it for, anyway? The amarok folders in the wallet are empty. Amarok runs fine when I cancel its attempt to open the wallet.

*Restored kdewallet.kwl from a backup once, really helped.

Yes, since you use Kwallet anyway, just tick the "use always" choice, and it will only ask to open up if it is not already open.

It is used for Internet services such as Last.fm, paid Magnatunes, etc. where you need to enter a username and password. If you use none, tell Kwallet to store passwords in plain text, and it will not open for you in Amarok any more.

You can also edit ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc (might be .kde4): under [Service_LastFm] ignoreWallet=yes, username and password set, and scrobble=true (or false, if you don't use it).
