[OpenSuse 12.1] Nipomuk Indexing Disabled error popup

English Applications
1

I am using OpenSuse 12.1 (32 bit).
Everytime I start the system, an error message pops up “Nipomuk Indexing Disabled” and disappears shortly after.
I don’t understand what is this and how to fix this annoying error message not to appear again.

Thanks.

I changed by following your step #1, it doesn’t work:

  1. just disable it & be done with it this is best done as such:
    a. KIckoff>Configure Desktop>Desktop Search
    b. Uncheck the Enable Nepomuk Desktop Search box click Apply
    c.Open up ~/.kde4/share/config/
    d. find the kdedrc file add this line if it’s not there or change the line to read that file like so

[Module-nepomuksearchmodule]
autoload=false

I tried all that, plus good old google but I still get this popping up. I do not want it and according to system monitor it is using 16M of shared memory.

Also, I keep getting a C:
ppd32Log\debuglog.txt file in my documents folder WHY?

I am using SuSE 12.1 64 bit, kde 4.8.3 and I have just done a CLEAN install

It doesn’t look like this original question was every actually answered. I find this whole Nepomuk hairball really annoying, and the developers’ attitude toward people who don’t like the spam messages obnoxious (basically, “don’t like the error message? turn Nepomuk back on.”).

But you can disable the messages. Just go to Configure Desktop/Application and System Notifications/Applications/Semantic Desktop and unclick the “Failed to start Nepomuk” item.

Argh! No, I thought this worked but it does not.

I know I was able to kill this spam on one system by changes to some of the KDE configuration files. I’ll try to recreate that and share it as a public service.

Disable the notification for it in the kde settings

I don’t like Nepomuk either. Anyhow I keep it enabled for the message not to pop up and it seems to not get in my way or maybe it’s actually doing something usefull. No idea :slight_smile:

Well, since KDE 4.8 it’s doesn’t seem so intrusive anymore, so I keep it on and limit indexing (strigi, I think) only on a few useful folders.
