(f32, preparing to upgrade to f33; Gnome)
I notice in the process table of ksysguard these 4 processes:
- evolution-source-registry
- evolution-alarm-notify
- evolution-addressbook-factory
- evolution-calendar-factory
They are all owned by me (the non-admin user), not me (root). I did
not knowingly start them. I don't recall installing them, so I'm
guessing they come standard with either fedora or Gnome, or one of the
other desktop environments. dnf tells me what software dependencies
there are, but what about data dependencies? If I "dnf remove
evolution", will I mess up anything else because of dependencies that
dnf does not know about?
Based on replies so far, I'm now thinking I'm incorrectly remembering
and/or misunderstanding something said in some previous thread that I
started. I thought someone noticed that I had a bunch of useless
processes running on my system, and some of those had the string
"evolution" in them. So I pursued removing evolution. With Tom's help,
that's done. Ed told me how to prevent the "evolution-" processes from
being started, but I don't know if that's the real problem, or if that's
a good thing to do. Samuel told me that evolution depends on these
"evolution-" services, but I don't know what else uses them. I tried
googling, but only found out what I've long suspected: google ain't God
(google is a long way from knowing everything). Before pursuing these
questions further, allow me to go into the fedora HYPERKITTY to try to
find that old thread and who really said what. This may take a while,
but I don't want to waste list members' time on the wrong questions.
Did you miss my other email? If you try to remove the
evolution-data-server package, which is where these processes come from,
you will find out what depends on it. Most of Gnome will be removed due
to dependencies. I suppose if you don't use any of Gnome's integrations
for calendar or contacts, etc., then you might be able to disable the
services.
