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. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
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
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
Those are not included in the kde spin, so the easiest explanation is that you installed them at some point.
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)

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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
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.

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.
