Description Mohammed Arafa 2016-03-20 14:46:00 UTC
Description of problem:

i only use kde and only kde, gnome is taboo to me so i always install the kde 
desktop version of fedora.

my laptop started to slow down at start up (firefox issues) but i still wanted to see what else was going on and discovered along with nepomuk, tracker was running.
tracker is a gnome desktop search engine just like nepomuk

note, i do not know when or how tracker was installed. either at the fresh install or as an update.

I'm fairly confident nothing in kde/plasma depends on tracker

You could probably find out yourself, try:

$ sudo dnf remove tracker


and see what else wants to get removed

Comment 2 Mohammed Arafa 2016-03-21 22:45:42 UTC
hi
yes that was the first thing i did. it removed some gnome applications. something called nautilus, grilo?
and so on
the question here is not is it safe to remove but why was it installed?

this being a kde desktop, no gnome applications should have been installed in the first place

thank you

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2016-03-21 23:34:48 UTC
Those are not included in the kde spin, so the easiest explanation is that you installed them at some point.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2016-03-21 23:40:43 UTC
Followup,

$ sudo dnf history userinstalled

will list those items installed since fedora was installed

(unfortunately, since you said you'd already removed the offending items, it probably doesn't help much at this point)

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 16:09:16 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 19:32:07 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
