Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux Hi all. After booting my computer I get the following notification: "Nepomuk Indexing Agents Have Been Disabled The Nepomuk service is not available or fully operational and attempts to rectify this have failed. Therefore indexing of all data stored in the Akonadi PIM service has been disabled, which will severely limit the … The following problems were detected: Calling the Nepomuk storage service failed: 'The name org.kde.NepomukStorage was not provided by any .service files'. Additional help can be found here: userbase.kde.org/Akonadi" There's no real additional help at the link provided. It's really annoying, for I always get three or more of the same notifications at once. It makes me feel like something is wrong with my system, but it's a fresh installation of Oneiric 11.10, and I haven't tinkered with Nepomuk or anything at all, for that matter. Actually, this problem seems related to the following bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258171. As far as I understand it, though, people in the bug report are complaining because they actually have turned Nepomuk off, so they don't want to be bothered with notifications about what they already know. In fact, more than a proper bug, it's reported as a whishlist, and currently marked as invalid. But I haven't turned anything off, I just want things to work properly because I haven't tinkered with their settings. The above-mentioned bug report is about people who have disabled Nepomuk. I didn't do it, and want it fully operational. I still would like to solve this issue. There has got to be something I can do, hopefully. I would appreciate any help to solve this issue. Many thanks in advance. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: . Expected Results: .

It's obvious and good common sense that I checked that before reporting my bug, and Nepomuk is evidently running - which I do want it to be. I think this bug should be reopened as it's not obviously a duplicate of Bug 283212. Many thanks.
Fine, then please paste the output of: qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver isNepomukEnabled qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver isFileIndexerEnabled
Sure thing, here it goes: lelamal@EGO:~$ qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver isNepomukEnabled true lelamal@EGO:~$ qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver isFileIndexerEnabled Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod No such method 'isFileIndexerEnabled' in any interface at object path '/nepomukserver' (signature '')
I'm getting this weird problem as well. It usually starts at startup. I disabled nepomuk because of it, but still get it the messages, even with it off. Back to nepomuk being on, I deleted all akonadi and nepomuk settings and user files, but the error comes back eventually regardless. Sometimes it's 3 notification popups, but not necessarily. $ qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver isNepomukEnabled true $ qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver isFileIndexerEnabled Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod No such method 'isFileIndexerEnabled' in any interface at object path '/nepomukserver' (signature '') The notification errors I am getting are: 3 notifications of these.

I am having the same issue after upgrading to Kubuntu 11.10. The same notifications and behavior. Fixed it just by deleting the folder ~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk and closing my session. Hope that helps.

Note: the "3 notifications of these." warnings were removed in 4.8 (there's only one feeder instead of 3 anyway)
This error message (and more importantly, the code path triggering it) doesn't exist anymore in KDE PIM 4.8.
