Flag| |SHIP_STOPPER?
1. I login using KDE4
2. I hear the disk working hard, and it doesn't stop
3. I try to start Firefox, but it doesn't come up
I checked top and ps and see that nepomukservicestub is causing this. It seems
it's indexing my whole home dir (5 GB), and eating all I/O, making the machine
unusable.
Actual results:
1. User-noticeable effects:
- Noise
- Applications don't start
- Computer unusable
2. There is no visual indication of what's going on.
3. I can't uninstall nepomuk, because it's part of kdebase4-runtime.
Expected results:
1. No indexing or caching of my data unless I explicitly asked for it or at
least permitted it.
In other words, default *off*, enabled only when I start the search app and
confirmed the indexing.
Personally, I don't want NTFS indexing, Apple Spotlight, GNOME Beagle, Nepomuk
or whatever the tech of the day is.
2. Visual indication: There needs to be a KDE applet, with animation when the
indexing happens, and from there an obvious way to stop and permanently disable
the indexing, without knowing before-hand that it's nepomuk doing that.
3. nepomuk is a separate rpm, not in in a mandatory base lib.
Importance:
- Makes really terrible, unusable first impression of SuSE.
- Makes a copy of my data that I didn't allow to be made.
