Kwallet when opening Marble

Keep in mind it is a minimal install, without the dependencies.

I installed gnome-keyring and launch it on startup, hoping it would remember the login/password of some program (didn't work).
I installed Seahorse to manage keys.
And now, trying to open Marble for the first time, it asks me to configure kwallet (which seems to be the equivalent of Seahorse).

It seems I'm supposed to create a key.

There's a bunch of key types I can create, but for one I need an email
(since it's supposed to be used with it), the other not, it seems I can remember passwords (but it doesn't work).
Btw that's on my Debian machine (I suppose I should ask on the Debian forum), but on Trisquel there was no kwallet prompt.

Frankly, I don't understand a thing.
Anyone has some experience with that?

KWallet is used for securely storing things like passwords. There was a bug in Marble that caused it to ask for KWallet at startup (used for an experimental feature) and it was fixed: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346477. I don't know which Debian version you're using, but I don't have this issue in stretch.

It happens to me too hack and hack. Are you using Debian Jessie? I am. I will follow the link provided by Legimet. Thank you!

@Legimet & Aprendiz_de_linux:
Bingo, I'm using Stable.
so it's just a prompt, specially since KWallet isn't installed on the machine.
Thank you.
