For more information on Nepomuk, see Nepomuk in WikiPedia. Strigi is a desktop search daemon. In the KDE implementation, it works with Nepomuk to allow locating files and data embedded in files. Baloo is another KDE desktop search and indexing daemon. Baloo appears to be a replacement for Strigi in Fedora 20, and performs the same function of locating files and data embedded in files. Baloo is not available prior to Fedora Disabling these services is fairly easy and much of the work can be accomplished using the System Settings.
On my system KDE 4. I read that there's an automatic migration tool or switch and I don't see Nepomuk running in htop. Is it safe to uninstall Nepomuk? Or are you waiting for one of us brave souls to remove it and post back?
BTW, I'm uninstalling it now and will reboot and run dolphin and kontact. The nepomuk migration tool is in nepomuk-core 4.
So you can safely remove nepomuk, but your tags and ratings will not be migrated. We users are waiting it since KDE 4. Well, after reboots and about 12hrs later, I don't see any adverse effects from removing Nepomuk. Only time will tell me if I made a mistake, but as of right now, I really do think it's safe to remove Looks like akonadi 1. Sign up using Email and Password.

Has anyone thought of asking the KDE team if there is a donation amount we pay them not to develop it , where they would make the sematic desktop, social desktop, the whole Akonadi PIM Alternative: Thunderbird , Baloo semantic desktop optional or maybe we go to the Linux Distros and ask for a compiled version of KDE4 without Akonadi and Baloo architecture.
There are PIM alternatives so Akonadi is not necessary. The weight of those two items is so very heavy and their features are for very specific groups of people and does not conform to the wonderful historical flexibility that KDE offered. A Kickstarter fund perhaps? The KDE team heavily relies on distributions for testing, fixing bugs and such. I kinda blame distributions too for having the same approach as KDE and let such low quality pieces of software go through and reach final users.
The core of KDE is in a lot better shape imho , and that would give a quite good desktop environment once cleaned. Shame on kde team for releasing such a lame excuse for a software as baloo. And I tried uninstalling tracker but that took out other apps I wanted to keep, assumedly because of dependencies. I wish these programmers would get a clue and realize I do not want these running and want a relatively easy way to permanently and dependably disable them.
I fled Windows and found Linux for my PC instead. Oh well. Some programmers never learn. Seems to have solved the problem. May have to repeat if these programs ever get updated. I was trying to uninstall the package but it appears that there a millions of cross-references between the libraries, so I gave up I got almost used to the crashes.
So I got rid of Baloo this way. Balo, Nepomuk, … Brilliant solutions in search of a problem. No indexer required. If you want to go down the awful — truly awful — Apple route of hiding the standard Unix filesystem and imposing a directory structure on the users, then maybe an indexer is required. Stop trying to make Linux Poettering please note like Windows. You misread previous comments. Everybody is aware that we are supposed to be able to disable it.
This is the reason for this article. Came to this as baloo what a braindead-name!
