Unable to configure Kgpg kwalletmanager

Just installed Ubuntu 19.04 minimal with

apt install plasma-desktop sddm kwin --no-install-recommends

All good. Installed Brave Browser as described here.

Now opening brave, it opened "KDE wallet Service" dialog box, with default selection "Use GPG encryption...". Searching internet I used

sudo apt install kgpg kwalletmanager kwalletcli

Then I Opened kgpg and created key along with a wallet "firstKWallet" in kwalletmanager.

Now opening brave, it shows "kwalletd GPG backend - KDE Wallet Service" dialog box with message:

Error when attempting to decrypt the wallet firstKWallet using GPG. If you're using a SmartCard, please ensure it's inserted then try again. Error: Inappropriate ioctl for device.

Following this guide edited ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf and created ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf. Then system restart.

Now opening brave, it shows "kwalletd GPG backend - KDE Wallet Service" dialog box with message:

Error when attempting to decrypt the wallet firstKWallet using GPG. If you're using a SmartCard, please ensure it's inserted then try again. GPG error was No data.

What I am missing? How to make it work? Honestly, I've no idea what I'm doing (though, I know what GPG is).

In "kGpg-Key Management" Right clicking the key and selecting refresh key from keyserver gives

[GNUPG:] FAILURE refresh-keys

In KDE wallet manager, "The wallet is currently closed" is showing with a "Open..." button. upon clicking it goes back to "... GPG error was No data" dialog box

I used kleopatra instead of kgpg to solve issue.
