how to stop KOrganizer starting with KDE?

homesp · 05-10-2005, 08:57 AM

When KDE started,KOrganizer also started with the system.
I have right click the KOrganizer's icon on the task bar,and select the second item that donnot start with the system.But it doesn't work.
How can I stop it from starting with system.

When you right click and select Quit, you should get a window that gives you the option to select whether to have organiser start up at the same time as the desktop. Check the box Do not ask me again and click on the No button.

Since you say, you have already selected Do not start with system(and that is what aes canis seems to suggest),try closing it and every other window in kde and logout.
Then login again. Most probably you have restore previous desktop on, so every time
you start kde, whatever applications you had running when you last logged out, will start running.
Hope this solves your problem.

I made my comment, because I have found, with KDE, there sometimes seems to be two solutions - one usually found in an options menu, the other just seems to 'pop-up' when you do something like shut it down manually. Sometimes one works whilst the other doesn't.

All of the methods does not work.

Try using KDE as root, then disable and quit the korganizer. Then reboot and log back in as regular user and see if that will work. Just a guess.

Do like above (shut off the service, and confirm) then POWEROFF the system, then boot backup, That'll tell KDE to save it's current state. For some reason, the reboot command doesn't cause the state to save.

I don't use this either since I run SETI I don't want it using CPU time for nothing. It took me awhile to figure out how to stop it.
I used VI and added a little script thing to /etc/rc.local

sleep 20
case $1 in
start)
kill -9 `ps -aef | grep "korgac" | gawk '{print $2}'`
;;
esac

I just restarted my computer and it was gone! I wasn't sure if I needed the sleep option or not. Just wanted to make sure it was killed way after KDE started.

Nice one dad!

I might borrow that.

Ok, it worked fine for about 10 reboots then this morning it was back. I changed the sleep time to 30. So now it showed up again then after about 5 seconds it was killed. I wonder if KDE is adapting like the Borg and this effort is futile?
