When I launch signal desktop after upgrading to plasma6, I am presented with a Database Error because the keyring backend has changed from kwallet5 to kwallet6.

Quote:

Detected change in safeStorage backend, can't decrypt DB key (previous: kwallet5, current: kwallet6)

I then instructs me to either switch to the previous desktop environment or running signal with --password-store="kwallet5". Using the password-store flag works, but I would like to find a more permanent solution. Using signal's built in "Delete data" setting manged to reset the app but didn't fix the issue.

If you're OK with losing all chat history, you can delete ~/.config/Signal and then relink with phone again.
