Hi Folks!
I have noticed that akonadi (even tho the indexing was off in KDE Control Center) was creating big .db files in my ~/.local/share/akonadi/ folder.
It’s annoying. I don’t use it. I don’t want to waste the HDD space so I googled.
I have found out about command that checks the akonadi server status:
akonadictl status
and I used it here.
[andrzejl@wishmasbell ~]$ akonadictl status
Akonadi Control: running
Akonadi Server: running
Akonadi Server Search Support: not available
[andrzejl@wishmasbell ~]$
Arggggggggghh… How to stop the dang server?
Open this file.
/home/username/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc
in Your favorite text editor and change value of the
StartServer=
line to false. So it looks like this.
StartServer=false
Save the file. Log out and then back in or just reboot and test the akonadictl status again
[andrzejl@wishmasbell ~]$ akonadictl status
Akonadi Control: stopped
Akonadi Server: stopped
Akonadi Server Search Support: not available
[andrzejl@wishmasbell ~]$
HECK YEAH! Now You can open this folder ~/.local/share/ and then find and remove akonadi folder inside it.
Space saved. Ram saved. CPU saved. Triple win…
Since I turned it off I don’t see any negative stuff happening here…
Regards.
Andy
