Removing Akonadi (aka, leaving a clean KDE desktop)

I don't use KMail, KOrganizer, file/folder puntuation/comments nor anything that would require Akonadi, or any kind of storage system, so I'm just wasting X mb of my RAM in something that I'm just not using, and that I don't want running on my system.
Is there any way to remove Akonadi?
I tried -R akonadi, but it depends on kdepimlibs, and those depend on kdebase-workspace, so basically I can't remove a simple thing like Akonadi without removing my entire KDE desktop.
Regards

Something like this http://trojita.flaska.net/ perhaps? It was mentioned on planet KDE a while back.
Yes, thanks, I've already tried it, and though it seems very promising, it's far too unstable for a productive usage atm. It looks very much like Sylpheed, which I'm currently using, so I would really like to see this develop further to reach a stability minimum (don't get me wrong, I'm a [testing] user, so a few bugs here and there is not an issue, but this one is just a little bit over the edge).

  • How to remove KDE desktop?

    After using XFCE for a while, I decide that it will be my main DE, so I'd like to uninstall KDE desktop.
    But of course I'd still like to use KDE apps like Kile or Kdevelop.
    Is there any easy way to do that? I guess "pacman -R kde" is not the answer, because it will remove the entire KDE.
    Or maybe I have to remove the packages manually, like "pacman -R kdegames", or "pacman -R kdeedu" ?
    Back when I was using Ubuntu, I could to this using "apt-get remove kde-desktop"

    Check the dependencies of your required packages (you'd use pacman -Qi instead). That way you know exactly what to keep and what to chuck.

  • How do I fix my left shift key? Any open windows leave and make the desktop visible.

    How do I fix my left shift key? Any open windows leave and make the desktop visible. I have tired to go into system preferences and reset all of the keyboard settings to default but the issue hasn't gone away.

    You are not running as administrator, I think, which may be required and the only way to properly work and register. Also check for compatibility mode settings, UAC and DEP, all of which may require to be adjusted for a legacy app like PS CS2 to run properly. Also turn off Aero and switch to a conventional visual theme. The brush issue may be related to that or is a more generic problem with your graphics card and mouse config, but since you didn't provide any info on that, it will be hard for anyone to advise.

  • [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

    Hello,
    I just did an update, (I didn't think it was a major one, I don't recall seeing graphics update, though I'm not sure how to confirm - is there a way to see recently updated packages in yaourt?) and after a brief issue with powertop that was solved by a restart (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179789 - it may be unrelated though) I found that when I restarted, KWin Crashed, and since then, my desktop effects are not working.
    I have gone to the KDE Desktop Effects Settings Menu, and under the advanced menu, set the compositing type back to OpenGL 3.1, clicked apply, and confirmed that I wanted to try it even though it had evidently crashed Kwin. I then received a message stating "21 desktop effects could not be loaded". When I clicked details, a popup window said:
    "For technical reasons it is not possible to determine all possible error causes.
    Desktop effect system is not running."
    For the record, I am on a Thinkpad X201 with intel graphics.
    Any ideas?

    Some Extra information:
    I just tried a restart, that didn't work.
    I then went back into effect settings, and saw that "enable effects at startup" was not checked. I also saw that under the advanced settings, Qt Graphics system was set to raster. Since I'm not sure which it was supposed to be on originally, but the current configuration wasn't working, I also set that to Native, and then clicked apply. KWin then crashed, here is the output:
    Application: KWin (kwin), signal: Aborted

  • XBMC/mplayer and KDE Desktop effects

    Hi,
    i have setup a arch based HTPC with XBMC on top of KDE, but there is one thing i were not able to resolve: The XBMC GUI and playing a video on it gets laggy as soon as i DISABLE the kde desktop effects. My system is i3/sandy bridge based with integrated intel graphics, vaapi installed.
    1. tried different playback settings within XBMC, same results
    2. as soon as i disable the kde desktop effects, xbmc becomes slow and laggy, even if i dont restart it, if i enable desktop effects its smooth again
    3. mplayer reacts the same way when used with -vo gl or -vo gl2, so it could be somehow opengl related. With -vo xv it runs smooth in both configurations.
    4. Cpu load is constantly <20%
    5. tried as root user, same results
    6. glxinfo reports direct rendering is enabled
    so any ideas how to resolve that problem? or how to find out whats going on?
    you may ask why i want to disable desktop effects, well with desktop effects on, videos run almost perfect, but sometimes there are smaller lags that, i guess, can be related to the desktop effects eating resources, so i want to try without them.
    here is the custom part of my xorg config, tearfree was needet to get a vsync-enabled video playback:
    #20-intel.conf
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Graphics"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
    Option "TearFree" "true"
    #Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
    #Option "AccelMethod" "xaa"
    EndSection
    Section "dri"
    Mode 0666
    EndSection

  • How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?

    How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?  I have the icon but the program starts up and I have to delete it manually  from the desktop to clear my screen for other work...

    Are you using a Windows or a Mac? What you're seeing (the backwards L shaped menu) is probably the Canon Quick Menu. If you have a Mac you can go into your applications, select Canon Utilities, then drag Canon Quick menu to the trash and empty trash can. On Windows you'd go to the control panel, select Programs and Features (or Uninstall Program/Add or Remove Program) and uninstall the Canon Quick Menu. Not required for all the normal functions of the printer. You can do the same thing for My Image Garden. Also not required.

  • KDE desktop does not come up after log out

    I have updated KDE to the lastest version using the Arch packages.  It worked wonderfully the first time, all of my widgits were intact and my desktop was just as I had left it, custom background and everything. Then, however, I logged out to make sure Fluxbox worked.  Now, even after rebooting, the KDE desktop doesn't come up.  It will bring up Pidgin which was running before but the taskbar and all of the widgets are gone and it has this grey background that is the same as the one in the KDM.
    No errors are produced, although it does now ask for the password for a Wallet that "Plasma Desktop" wants to access.  I recognise the name of the wallet (kdewallet) and input the password correctly after this, two notifications pop up with informational thing.  One is about some indexing service being "rebuilt" for new features and the other is saying that it's falling back on a different sound output.  None of this seems to have an impact on the limited usability I have.
    Has anyone else expereinced this?  Are there any log files where errors would be outputted to?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have found the relevent messages.  They are at a pastebin. http://pastebin.ca/1522805
    I'm not entirely sure what is going on here.
    After the top line of that post, there are a LOT of errors related to "No block with decorrelation terms" in fact the vast majority of that file are those things.  All other "errors" are warnings related to my Fluxbox session which is working fine.
    Lines 1, 11 and 12 seem to be the most severe errors:
    [0xa2412b0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
    "/usr/bin/dolphin(4560)" Error in thread 3049428752 : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files"
    "/usr/bin/dolphin(4560)" Error in thread 3049428752 : "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name"
    I have no idea where to even begin fixing them. However it is Nepomuk that comes up with the rebuilding message i mentioned in my previous post.

    If you erase the hard disk and you install a new Mac OS X copy, Time Machine will start a new backup and will stop using all backups you made in the past.
    One option you have is to reinstall Mac OS X and restore a Time Machine backup, but restoring only some files: for example, instead of restoring everything, restore only your user files, and not your applications, so you will have more free space. Also, doing this, Time Machine will continue backing up to your old backup, because Time Machine will detect that you have "the same computer with the same files and the same Mac OS X version", but it's not.
    If you have more questions about Time Machine, see this site > http://pondini.org

  • I want some KDE apps, but not the KDE desktop environment....

    I'm on a laptop running Arch (yay!) and I am wanting to install Amarok and KTorrent. However, I don't want the KDE desktop environment, KWin (I use fluxbox), or things like KDM (I use SLiM). Is there a package, like kde-base in Debian, that allows just essential Qt/KDE libraries for applications like Amarok and KTorrent?

  • KDE Desktop Refresh

    Hi,
    I am running KDE version 4.6.5 with Compiz as my windows manager. I am having a reoccurring problem with my KDE desktop.  Fairly frequently half of my desktop stops refreshing and the last window image on that side remains even when the window is moved.  It looks like the entire desktop has been shifted to the right by half a screen so the previous left side of my desktop is now on the right side and behaves normally, and the left side just captures and retains any windows brought onto it.
    I'm new to Arch and have found the documentation in the forums and on ArchWiki to be remarkable but I can seem to figure this one out. If anyone out there has any ideas, please let me know. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Depending on what you're trying to do with Compiz you really don't need it with KDE anymore. KWin is included by default and offers a lot of the same effects. You can find the KWin settings by going into System Settings and the Desktop Effects section. I'm not positive that disabling Compiz and using KWin will fix your issues. But it's definitely worth a try.
