Is there a way to disable nepomukindexer completely?

Box0 · 2013-06-08 20:20:21

I have some large pdfs which trigger some nepomukindexer processes every time I open their containing folder with dolphin.

I have already disabled everything related to nepomuk in systemsettings but these nepomukindexer processes continue to show up.

Often I have to switch to tty1 and kill processes from there to be able to move the mouse again, it's very annoying.

This behaviour has been already reported in the bug tracker: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316075 but unfortunately there is no solution as yet.

Does anyone know if there is a way to completely get rid of the nepomukindexer processes? And by the way, why are they indexing at all since nepomuk is disabled?

try remove /usr/bin/nepomukindexer

Create this file /usr/share/config/nepomukserverrc with the follwing content:

[Basic Settings]
Start Nepomuk=false

[Service-nepomukstrigiservice]
autostart=false

[main Settings]
Maximum memory=50
Storage Dir[$e]=$HOME/.kde4/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/
Used Soprano Backend=virtuosobackend

This disables nepomuk for all users; obviously you can do the same for one user using systemsettings.

This doesn't work here. When I open the relevant directory I can still see the evil process starting.

What is very strange is that even after creating the file for all users, removing the nepomukserverrc file from my user home and restarting the machine systemsettings still shows "Desktop search services are active" with the checkbox unticked!

My wild guess is that something in the kmail config enables the nepomukindexer, do you have kmail installed/use it?

this works but I have no idea what other consequences it may cause and I'm not sure it's a sane approach. Anyway I'll test it until I'll find a better solution.

On my system, akonadi seems to be responsible for a lot of it. However, it doesn't seem to actually index anything. My user version of the config file essentially matches the one posted above (but that's just from system settings configuration).

[Service-nepomukfileindexer]
autostart=false

Try also adding the above section to ~/.kde4/share/config/nepomukserverrc

cfr · 2013-06-09 15:11:19

That already is included:

$ cat ~/.kde4/share/config/nepomukserverrc 
[$Version]
update_info=nepomukstrigiservice-migrate.upd:nepomukstrigiservice-migrate

[Basic Settings]
Start Nepomuk=false

[Service-nepomukfileindexer]
autostart=false

[main Settings]
Maximum memory=50
Storage Dir[$e]=$HOME/.kde4/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/
Used Soprano Backend=virtuosobackend
