[SOLVED] disable remove krunner baloo

[gnomek]

Is it possible to disable or remove krunner?
I want to save memory.

I want to also remove, disable baloo.

In Kubuntu 16.04 cannot be disabled. Unmarking them doesn't work.

How much memory do you have?

[gnomek]

3,9GB but that is not important. I don't want unwanted processes. Most memory is consumed by web browser anyway.

When I disable krunner and baloo Dolphin still will have search function. Correct?
I just don't want indexing all the time.

seems there is a console command that can. I'll see if I can find that.

Try this in a Konsole session. --> balooctl disable

User1@MyPC:~$ balooctl disable
Disabling the File Indexer
User1@MyPC:~$

EDIT: Also to note, once done, even on reboot it should stay off. At least it does here. Never had to rerun that. Yes, I actually turn that off too.

[gnomek]

balooctl disable

It works. Thanks.

[MoonRise]

No problem.

Also, you can do "balooctl status".

It'll let you know if it is or isn't running.

I disabled krunner by removing it’s executable bit.

sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/krunner

Then restart or kill the running process.
