Hello!

I was wondering if there is a way to completely uninstall KDE PIM suite, including akonadi and nepomuk, without ruining Plasma.
I have been looking around, reading the forums and official documentation but I found nothing related to a clean uninstall.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks!

It is possible in KDE-5 and not possible on KDE-4. Also, in some cases, it may depend on your distribution as well.

I am on Fedora-24 KDE spin. I've completely removed KDE-PIM and Akonadi. Subsequently, my average RAM usage at idle has come down to around 400 MB.

On Fedora, the following will work out ...

Code: Select all

sudo dnf remove korganizer kmail akregator knode krdc krfb konqueror ktnef kaddressbook konversation kf5-akonadi-server mariadb-common

I've not tried to remove 'baloo' ('nepomuk' is no longer available in KDE-5 I guess) because I use it some times. But to answer this post, I've just checked. You can't remove 'baloo' completely as it also tries to remove dolphin file manager.

I'm on Debian 8.5:

Linux XXX 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2+deb8u3 (2016-07-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Running KDE Plasma 5.84

"I'm on Debian 8.5"

Then I am almost sure that what you want is not possible, at least there is no straight way. I've tried it many times under KDE-4 (under Arch Linux) and failed miserably. You need KDE Frameworks-5, not just Plasma.

Ok, so if there is no way to achieve this, how can I disable every related service?
