Bug ID: 390730
Summary: When removed for the "blacklist", devices not indexed
unless indexation disabled / re-enabled
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.12.1
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_baloo
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ma...@free.fr
Target Milestone: ---
Hi ! This is an issue that has been occurring for several Plasma versions. I
double checked recently with both the latest KDE Neon iso + updated and the
Manjaro KDE iso.
Short form : When removed for the "blacklist", devices are not indexed unless
indexation is disabled then re-enabled
Long form : When one installs a KDE distribution on a machine that has a
separate data partition, this partition is usually automatically put in the
Baloo indexer blacklist and is thus not indexed. Removing it (from the KDE
"search" configuration panel) from the blacklist doesn't get it indexed.
To get this un-blacklisted partition indexed, one has to disable then re-enable
the indexer. Just rebooting doesn't work.
Steps to reproduce :
1) install KDE Neon (or Manjaro KDE). In the installation wizard, choose a
distinct ext4 data partition that is mounted under /data.
2) reboot, update the system
3) open the KDE control panel -> desktop search -> remove /data from the
blacklist
4) wait a little, and notice 1) baloo is idle 2) files from /data are not
indexed
5) reboot
6) repeat 4
7) open the control panel again. Disable indexing completely. Re-enable it.
8) notice that the baloo process is not idle anymore and that files from /data
are indeed being indexed
Reproducibility : always
Plasma 5.12.1
KDE Neon or Manjaro KDE
