Bug ID: 399885 Summary: NTFS mount point appears in excludeFolders list and cannot be removed Product: frameworks-baloo Version: 5.51.0 Platform: Neon Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: balooctl Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: s_chriscoll...@hotmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY I have two NTFS partitions mounted in my home folder via the following lines in /etc/fstab: UUID=10156E860DB794A2 /home/chris/Personal ntfs-3g defaults,auto,noatime,big_writes,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,windows_names,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 UUID=0F14CDF22D70C77E /home/chris/Storage ntfs-3g defaults,auto,noatime,big_writes,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,windows_names,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 Both of these locations appear in "System Settings" -> "Search" -> "File Search" -> "Do not search in these locations". If I remove the folders from the list then close and restart System Settings, they are back in the list. ~/.config/baloofilerc contains no reference to either folder (there is no "exclude folders[$e]=" line) and ~/.config/baloorc doesn't exist. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. I assume that meeting conditions similar to the above description will cause the issue for others as well, but I don't have a similar setup on any other PC to test this with. OBSERVED RESULT NTFS mount points appear in excludeFolders and can't be removed. EXPECTED RESULT NTFS folders are indexed. SOFTWARE VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.51.0 Qt Version: 5.11.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If I try to remove one of the folders using "balooctl config remove excludeFolders '/home/chris/Personal'", two things happen: 1. "baloorc" is created containing "exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/Storage" under "[General]" 2. "baloofilerc" is updated adding "exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/Storage" under "[General]" Running "balooctl config list excludeFolders" now shows: /home/chris/Personal /home/chris/Storage /home/chris/Storage If I run "balooctl config remove excludeFolders '/home/chris/Personal'" a second time, both "baloorc" and "baloofilerc" now show "exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/Storage,$HOME/Storage" Running "balooctl config list excludeFolders" now shows: /home/chris/Personal /home/chris/Storage /home/chris/Storage /home/chris/Storage If I now run "balooctl config remove excludeFolders '/home/chris/Storage'", both "baloorc" and "baloofilerc" now show "exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/Personal" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
