Subject: [Bug 1053783] Re: Ubuntu 12.04 - Stalled shutdown after<br>
having had KAlarm opened; with package info.<br>

<br>
I also have this bug.<br>
I use KAlarm and my computer with Ubuntu 12.04 (Gnome desktop) took<br>
several minutes to shutdown.<br>
<br>
Link <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1764048" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1764048</a> gave me the hint<br>
how to solve this problem. This link contains methods to prevent te<br>
starting up of nepomuk and akonadi in 3 steps.<br>
If you don't want to use KAlarm, it might be safe to apply all three<br>
steps. However, doing so, KAlarm could not be used. It asked to<br>
start-up akonadi first. So I tried what would happen if I only used<br>
the two steps preventing the (complete) start-up of nepomuk, and that<br>
worked great. KAlarm works and Ubuntu 12.04 shuts down within a few<br>
seconds. The steps to apply are:<br>
<br>
1. Add the following lines to ~/.kde/share/config/nepomukserverrc (and<br>
their sections if they don't exist) (change the value from "true" to<br>
"false" if they do exist and are set on "true";<br>
<br>
[Basic Settings]<br>
Start Nepomuk=false<br>
<br>
[Service-nepomukmigration1]<br>
autostart=false<br>
<br>
[Service-nepomukstrigiservice]<br>
autostart=false<br>
<br>
2. Remove the file /usr/share/autostart/nepomukcontroller.desktop, if it<br>
exists.<br>

In Ubuntu 12.04, the shutdown is stalling - for about 2 minutes -<br>
but only on occasions when I have opened - and then quit - KAlarm.<br>
