According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1391494 there are two ways of disabling baloo:
1) Add your home folder to the list of not indexed folders in the Desktop Search KCM (System Settings -> Desktop Search) 2) $ cp /usr/share/autostart/baloo_file.desktop ~/.kde/share/autostart/ $ echo "Hidden=True" >> ~/.kde/share/autostart/baloo_file.desktop I did not like the first option because the addition of paths is somewhat broken. The second seems to work better - after restart I do not see baloo among running processes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-baseapps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1295323 Title: Can't stop/remove baloo To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-baseapps/+bug/1295323/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
