Package: baloo-kf5
Version: 5.23.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I found out, that baloo is not working well, as it should.
There are two weired behaviours, which might be caused by the same reason.
1. Most important: baloo is stopping indexing at around 5000 indexed files. I
guess, the number is responsibl by the files within a directory. When I move
some directories away, the indexed files is changed, but stopping again. To
look into the situation, I started baloo_file with strace (strace -e trace=open
-o baloo.txt baloo_file), then tail -f baloo.txt showed me that baloo_file is
stopping at a directory. I assured, that this directory will not cause the stop
by moving it away. Then baloo_file stops at another directory. Note: these
directories were empty, no files within. Could this be the reason? Still could
not figure it out.
2. When baloo is started, IMO balooctl disable or balooctl stop should stop the
baloo process, However, it does not. After the command, baloo_file and
baloo_file_extractor are still running. Killing the baloo_file process manually
will also stop baloo_file_extractor.
I tried to delete all baloo related files below ~.local/share and ~/.config,
but no success.
Please note, this problem appears only on my 32-Bit system, the 64-Bit system
(32-bit and 64-bit are running the same release versions!) is working well.
I hope this helps a little bit. Will try the version from unstable for a test,
but at the moment I am stuck.
Any hints are welcome and thanks for help!
Best regards
Hans
