But setting Migration flag to false did not help. Since I did set up an old ubuntu version already I have little hope that an old gentoo would help. But it seems a last hope if nothing elase works. Any other ideas to recover my passwords? Since I know my master password and I have the salt and the kwl files, is there a cli tool just to decrypt the contents and dump it? Or is there a description of the data format of the kwl file, so I could write it myself? Michael.

Re: Amarok + USB-Stick
Generally speaking use Clementine instead. Amarok has for me turned into one of those half-usable beasts. On Monday, April 2, 2018 12:55:52 PM CAT René J.V.

That may be all the more important if the (removable) device is formatted with NTFS and mounted with the ntfs-3g FUSE driver (which is a lot slower than in-kernel filesystem drivers). > Do you (dis)connect it with Amarok running? > No, every time I release the device.

That doesn't do any indexing. Amarok and other players do that to show your music in such a way that you see the piece title, composer, artist, genre (etc) and can sort them by those properties. Fetching that information takes time, though I'm amazed that that duration is a problem for a playlist of only 130 titles. > Amarok seems not usable for > dynamic use. It seems it is for static use only. I never found any interest to Amarok anyway myself, but that's not really the question here. Ever tried Audacious (with the Qt5 GUI so it fits in better with a KDE desktop)? R.

If this is fact, dev should be think about removeable devices with more then 130 GiByte storage. Do you (dis)connect it with Amarok running? No, every time I release the device. Anyway, I used 'play' with out any problems. Amarok seems not usable for dynamic use. It seems it is for static use only. Thx Bernd

Hello Michael. Initial mail might have landed in moderation queue or something like that, at least it didn´t get through yet, thus CC´ing to you as well.

You need to use the old one in ~/.kde/share/apps/ kwalletd, not the new one in ~/.config/kwalletd. > Any idea how I can retrieve my passwords? It really would be urgent. You can retry the migration: Set alreadyMigrated to false again: %> cat .config/kwalletrc [Migration] alreadyMigrated=true Restart kwalletd. One way is to log out and log in. There is another way which works during a session, but I am not sure how it worked. Maybe you can just quit kwalletd5 process and start it again.

Re: kdialog: sound file from notifyrc file was not found,
I can't check right now, but I recall seeing this kind of message when I first started installing KF5 applications before I installed the Plasma5 component that provides things required not provided by KNotifications. A bit curious if you ask me, given how KNotifications is supposed to be cross-platform and Plasma5 is jealously defended as not to be used outside of Plasma5 desktop environments. (In the end I patch KNotifications in my packaging so it calls Qt's equivalent of the sysbeep when a notification requires sound and has no existing sound file to be played.) R.
