You shouldn't need to use Akonadi at all. There was a problem where Plasma called the Akonadi calendar, but this was a bug and I think it has been fixed for 4.7. Now there should be now reason you need to have Akonadi at all. You can just uninstall it if you don't want it, or simply don't use it, it shouldn't start unless a PIM application tries to use.
zypper se akonai tells me I have * akonadi-googledata * akonadi-runtime * libakonadi4 * libakonadiprotocolinternals1 I try removing those ... * akonadi-googledata Removes OK :-) GOOD * akonadi-runtime Removing that removes plasma-addons as well OUCH! This seems to be a packaging problem. Surely that can be split so that the applets and wallpaper PLUGINS (HA! Dynamically loadable Plugins!) that need akonadi can be in a separate package? * libakonadi4 Removing that removes a LOT! backintime-kde compiz-kde4 kde4-effects-BeClock kdeartwork4 kdeartwork4-screensaver kdebase4-openSUSE kdebase4-session kdebase4-workspace kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE kdebase4-workspace-google-gadgets kdebase4-workspace-liboxygenstyle kdepim4-runtime kdepimlibs4 kdm kget kgpg kipi-plugins kipi-plugins-lang koffice2 koffice2-kplato koffice2-kpresenter koffice2-kspread koffice2-kword kwin libakonadi4 libkdepimlibs4 libsmoke2 perl-kde4 plasma-addons plasmoid-flexible-tasks plasmoid-quickaccess python-kde4 python-kdebase4 qtcurve-kde4 synaptiks This is really annoying. Why do those have dependencies on akonadi? Is stuff compiled in or is it just an artefact of packaging? * libakonadiprotocolinternals1 OUCH Same as above with more So no, I CANNOT uninstall it, and it seems to start up even though I've been though systemsettings to turn it off. What DO do is run ps -ef | egrep "nepomuk|akonadi" | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs kill after startup for values of -9, -11 and -15 After that there is no problem :-) So long as its is compiled in or so long as packagers include it by bundling and making it a dependency, we are stuck with it. -- We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough. -- Niels Bohr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
