The walls are crakled from the paste and chip off. I would like something that doesn't include too much elbow grease.

Sorry, you scrape it off and then patch your walls.

Your best bet is to sand off as much paint as possible. Then soak the walls with water using a sponge. Let is soak in for a few minutes before re washing the walls with the sponge, make sure you keep rinsing the sponge as it gets sticky from the paste. It may take some time, but this should work. Be prepared for a long day of scrubbing the walls if it is big room and their is a lot of paste. Oh, the hotter the water, the better.

Rent a steamer from your local tools and accessories store. This will soak the paste and with a plastic trowel you can scrape of the residue. When dry take a mouse sander(palm held) and sand lightly.

I always use a sanding sponge. Do a light overall sanding, then wipe down with warm water and vinegar. (sanding first reduces the amount of goopy glue you have to deal with).

If it's too hard, the only option may be sanding.

Sorry, scraping / sanding is your best (only) option.
