Control: Severity -1 important Hey,
you data is not lost, so critical is too much. Normally the import wizard should work without any issue, if the recommended kde-runtime is installed. Because you need the old KWallet4 daemon (/usr/bin/ kwalletd) running for the migration. If the auto migration do not work, than you can access the old data in the kde4 path and import them directly to the new kwallet5: ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/*kwl You can also stop/retrigger the automigration by delete/add the part in ~/.local/kwalletrc: [Migration] alreadyMigrated=true other than that please enable debugging via kdebugsettings and please also search for upstream bugreports on bugs.kde.org. hefee On Dienstag, 6.
