[opensuse] How can I deactivate Polari and pidgin?
Hi, One day I tried Polari, did not like it, and exited. But the system tries to start it it continuously: <3.6> 2019-06-11 00:29:30 Telcontar dbus-daemon 4312 - - [session uid=1000 pid=4312] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Polari' requested by ':1.84' (uid=1000 pid=5224 comm="/usr/lib/mission-control-5 ") <3.6> 2019-06-11 00:29:30 Telcontar dbus-daemon 4312 - - [session uid=1000 pid=4312] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Polari' failed: Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Polari: No such file or directory I had to do: mv /usr/bin/polari /usr/bin/polari.no to stop it running, but as you see something tries to start it again for days and days. Not finding it, the system tried to run /usr/bin/pidgin, which I also had to rename as /usr/bin/pidgin.no. Or the other way round, I do not remember which order I tried them, and now they refuse to cease starting. Unless I rename them to *.no, they start and impede empathy from connecting, because they register my nick first. I use XFCE on Leap 15.0.

I don't see why it should have a systemd service file, it is a user application. But:

I never heard of dbus services. How do I disable it, preferably for one user?
Why not uninstall it if you don't like it? If not, there's someinfo at https://askubuntu.com/questions/843076/how-to-blacklist-a-d-bus-service There's also some useful background at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50955 which points out that "D-Bus services are only launched if something communicates with them: services that aren't requested don't get launched." So you may need to look elsewhere to understand your problem.

Why should I, if another user in the machine wants to use it? Ie, there must be a proper way to stop it. Removing the package is a similar hack to the one I use of renaming it. And anyway, if I uninstall polari, this things switches to wanting to start pidgin. And one of the two shares libraries with empathy, which is the one I use.

And how do I find what the heck is requesting it? I tried it once, and it refuses to exit. If I remove it, something starts another client. WTF?
