I would be very thankful if someone explains what this is and how to make it do its work only when the system is idle enough (say, when the screensaver has been active for half an hour, or something like that), and not in the middle of my regular work.
I think it's the database used by Strigi, which is used by Nepomuk to index files and meta data for the desktop search. So if you'd disable Nepomuk/Semantic Desktop in the system settings, it should stop running. There should be an icon in the system tray as well I think.
Right, thanks! :-)
I disabled Nepomuk, with the hope that it will fix this issue. I am not exactly sure what is Nepomuk even supposed to do, and what "semantic desktop search" means at all, so I hope I won't need its services. ;-) It appears it is configured to index only the ~/Desktop directory, which is empty (bar two icons), so in this sense it is quite useless for me.
Best, :-) Marko
