Is it possible to run KDE desktop without Akonadi?
I will turn off indexing and compositing. I use another mail client, never used any of the other KDE office apps ever. LibreOffice…hello But I do like Knotes (just for the yellow sticky notes), KAlarm (just for the daily popups), and Kate. But apps like okular and dolphin should be okay…
Anyone customize KDE in this fashion? When I install 13.2, should I uncheck anything from the packages to prevent it from being installed in the first place?
Yes.
Actually Akonadi is only started if some application wants to use it.
So it shouldn’t be running by default anyway.
Check that you do not have “Show events” enabled in the panel’s digital clock’s settings, as this does require Akonadi (it shows all events stored in your Akonadi calendars).
I will turn off indexing and compositing.
That’s totally unrelated to Akonadi.
I use another mail client, never used any of the other KDE office apps ever. LibreOffice…hello
KDE’s “office” apps (calligra-*) should not use Akonadi though.
Akonadi is KDE’s PIM storage framework.
But I do like Knotes (just for the yellow sticky notes), KAlarm (just for the daily popups), and Kate.
Well, Knotes and KAlarm do require Akonadi.
Kate doesn’t though.
It appears you don’t have to use Akonadi if you do not use any of KDE’s office apps. I can replace Knotes and Kalarm, and I don’t see that Kate uses it. Darn, the digital clock uses it. Akonadi - KDE UserBase Wiki
See above. The digital clock’s option to use it is disabled by default on openSUSE though.
Anyone customize KDE in this fashion?
I haven’t, as I use nearly all of the KDEPIM apps: KMail, KOrganizer, KAddressbook, Knotes, and the digital clock’s “Show events”.
But again, Akonadi should not be started automatically on a default openSUSE installation.
When I install 13.2, should I uncheck anything from the packages to prevent it from being installed in the first place?
If you want to get rid of akonadi, you can uninstall akonadi-runtime, or deselect it during installation. This will of course remove/prevent from installing all other packages that require it.
You probably should even lock/taboo it, otherwise it might get reinstalled with updates.
I didn’t do anything to turn it off. It just doesn’t run.
As far as I know, it is started by some processes, such as “kmail”, and I am not using any of those processes. (Using “claws-mail” for email when I need a GUI client).
I’ll probably stick with LibreOffice, although it is good to know calligra* does not use it.
When I run MATE I taboo’ed KDE runtime, so I would not inadvertently install a KDE app and prerequisites. I thought KDE office was KOffice… hhmmm, I read more about the fork, “KDE’s Calligra KOffice fork](http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?70319-KDE-s-Calligra-KOffice-Fork-Sees-Its-First-Release/page2)”. It seems like KDE is going away from naming apps Kwhatever (??). It was always easy to find apps. That is one thing I notice with MATE, I’m always asking myself… now what did they call it again
Without kdebase4-runtime (if that’s what you mean), you won’t be able to install/run any KDE4 application I suppose…
It seems like KDE is going away from naming apps Kwhatever (??).
Yes, this is a trend that started years ago already (in KDE that is).
But regarding KOffice, it has been forked by most of the old developers. They had to rename it because KOffice already existed of course (you cannot fork something and call it the same, think of OpenOffice and LibreOffice). And some (only one I think) developers insisted on continuing KOffice “their way” (that’s why the others had to fork it in the first place), although it seems to have stalled completely meanwhile of course.
Your link does mention some of the struggles back then on a quick glance…
Sorry, I should have made it clear that these were machines with only the MATE desktop. KDE needed to be totally out of the picture.
But now, with KDE, without KDE PIMS, I taboo’ed akonadi-runtime.
Just testing, I tried to be more aggressive and taboo’ed kdepimlibs4, libakonadi4, libdepimlibs4, libakonadiprotocolinternals, but Kate and Calligra (going to compare it to LibreOffice) complained about dependencies, so I left them alone. When I search for “kate” in YaST software management and looked at the dependencies I do not see these, but I suppose something else in that list requires them. It seems the general rule is, taboo apps and runtimes but not libraries.
This should definitely prevent akonadi from starting, as akonadiserver is contained in that package.
It seems the general rule is, taboo apps and runtimes but not libraries.
Yes.
And the same is true for other things, not only akonadi.
You cannot get rid of libpulse or libibus either, e.g.
But that’s the reason why the packages are split up as they are…
On the other hand, was hoping to run the calendar and PIM apps from KDE on my Toshiba notebook (Intel i5 Core), but they won’t run because of a problem with Akonadi:

The same disk loaded on the Toshiba NB was used to install 13.2 on an AMD desktop. There akonadi starts on boot and the calendar app runs.
On the notebook, Yast2 Services Manager shows mysql is Enabled/Active; akonodi does not appear on the list.
Suggestions?
Akonadi is not a system-wide service started via systemd, that’s why it doesn’t appear in the list.
It is started automatically when an application needs it, or you can do so manually via “akonadictl start” (“akonadictl stop” will stop it, “akonadictl status” will show whether it is running).
Regarding mysql, what does “systemctl status mysql” say?
According to the Akonadi log, it is not running, at least Akonadi cannot connect.
Try to use Akonadi’s internal mysql server instead, does it work then?
Maybe Akonadi tries to connect to a different server? Check that you specified “localhost” as host.
Maybe the socket path is set wrong in the “Options” field. Clear that.
Try to remove both ~/.config/akonadi/ and ~/.local/share/akonadi/ to wipe out the akonadi configuration completely

Good.
But you are using the internal mysql server now. Is that on purpose, i.e. have you changed/removed the akonadi config now?
Or did you have it configured to use the internal server before?
In this case, you do not need to have mysql running, the system-wide server is not used at all. Akonadi starts its own private instance when it starts.
If you want to use the system-wide server (to avoid having it running twice e.g.), you have to configure that in Akonadi’s settings.
It was in fact me who suggested to delete the config files…
When you do that, the config reverts to the defaults (that’s the whole point of doing it), which means that Akonadi starts its own internal MySQL/MariaDB instance and does not use the system’s mysql.service.
Is the above CODE a command line entry or an item in the config file? Don’t want to try something whose effects I don’t know
The above is a shell command to start Akonadi’s cofiguration module.
If you want to use the system’s mysql.service you have to set it up there.
But I do like Knotes (just for the yellow sticky notes), KAlarm (just for the daily popups), and Kate. But apps like okular and dolphin should be okay…
