11.10 virtuoso-t problem

[theuteck at gmail.com]

I removed the virtoso and nepomuk stuff since it was doing that to me as well.
I don't want or need the service it offers and by slowing my system down it 
just annoyed me, otherwise I would not have bothered with the hassle of 
removing it.  

Now I get some errors when I start up or resume about nepomuk indexing, but I 
can ignore the them.  My systems runs just fine without it.
