For now, you can set [QMYSQL]StartServer=false in ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc to prevent Akonadi from being started by anything on demand, and [Basic Settings]Start Nepomuk=false in ~/.kde4/share/config/nepomukserverrc . As a result you'll lose Activities in Plasma, as well as KDE PIM and deep search in Dolphin that you already mentioned.
The sentence above beginning with "As a result..." seems to be ambiguous, because the punctuation is probably incorrect. Would you mind explaining exactly what part(s) of KDE PIM would be lost as the price of relieving the system of Akonadi (which is a very attractive idea)?
No problem, that sentence was written assuming both were disabled. To clarify and expand:
As a result of disabling Akonadi you will lose (as of kdepim 4.6, which will be in openSUSE 12.1) kmail, kaddressbook, korganizer, knotes, kjots and kalarm. Other apps in kdepim might continue to work until they are ported to Akonadi.
As a result of disabling Nepomuk, while keeping Akonadi, you will lose address completion and search in KMail, Activities in Plasma, deep search in Dolphin and the new KDE Telepathy-based instant messaging client.
We hope that by 12.1 Akonadi is recognised as a net win over the KDE 2/3-era monolithic, ad hoc design of kdepim 4.4 and earlier.
Thank you. My concern was about the absence of any alternate address book, since kaddressbook is integrated with Akonadi, which I want to avoid. So that makes final my decision to junk kmail (which I like otherwise), and switch to Thunderbird (which I like less, but one needs a mailer). Unfortunate that no more conventional address book is supplied for kamil, for the benefit of people who only want an address book rather than a magic genie. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
