How can i disable nepomuk system globally?
in [Slackware]

From: Henrik Carlqvist on 16 Jul 2010 15:36 During the process of evaluating Slackware 13.1 I found that my home partition on the NFS server had been filled up. It turned out that it was my home directory that had grown in size, nepomuk had created about 650 MB in my home directory. Today when 2 TB disks are being sold 650 MB might not sound much to you, but in my environment I can't afford another 650 MB on every users account. When those 650 MB gets multiplied by the number of users it sums up to far too much data that shall get backed up every night. In the KDE control panel I was able to disable nepomuk and after that I removed the files it had created. However, I can't ask every user to manually disable nepomuk in the control panel, I would need some way to disable nepomuk globally before Slackware 13.1 is deployed to the users and they are logging in for the first time. Is there any global setting file which can be altered to disable nepomuk by default? Also, I would like to globally disable akonadi for the same reason. Only starting kmail without even configuring any email account cased akonadi to create files of more than 150 MB in my home directory! This was even though I had already disabled nepomuk. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

Take a look at http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/applications/418846-how-do-i-get-rid-nepomuk-virus.html I can't vouch for the solution, but it looks plausable. > Also, I would like to globally disable akonadi for the same reason.

It appears that Akonadi is harder to disable than Nepomuk Take a look at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/PIM/Akonadi#How_do_I_completely_disable_Akonadi_startup.3F HTH -- Lew Pitcher Master Codewright & JOAT-in-training | Registered Linux User #112576 Me: http://pitcher.digitalfreehold.ca/ | Just Linux: http://justlinux.ca/ ---------- Slackware - Because I know what I'm doing. ------

Normally I don't join in on the KDE4 bashing (because otherwise I like it), but the shocking amount of waste in the home directories is a real issue on a multi-user machine. NB, other applications like Amarok also started this craze of keeping their stuff in SQL databases which use up megabytes in the home directory even when empty. With regards to Kmail you are out of luck since KDE 4.4.3. Other KDE applications will follow. They will not run any more without Akonadi. You can read about the whole horrible strategy here: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/PIM/Akonadi If you want to disable Akonadi and Nepomuk I suggest you do it via the menu. If you need the actual settings, all I can suggest is to copy a home directory, make the changes, and diff the old vs. the new directory. You should also create a file ~/.kde/share/config/kres-migratorrc containing the lines: [Migration] Enabled=false This will stop automatic migration whenever the user logs on. After disabling Akonadi and Nepomuk you can delete the contents of ~/.config/akonadi/ and ~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/ to re-claim the megabytes. I hope this helps, and I hope that KDE developers come to their senses. Martin

And even firefox 3.x (and especially 3.5.x and 3.6.x) now does so, making a "clean" .mozilla tree already something like 60 MB.... -- ****************************************************************** ** Eef Hartman, Delft University of Technology, dept.

The mind boggles. This isn't the *ix way, surely? I've never used KDE; GNOME is my DE in my main distro. For Slackware (which I am just starting with) I'm using Xfce. Looking at those threads, it seems I'll be steering clear of KDE for a while, at least.
