[SOLVED] After latest d-u dolphin fails to search (kdenext)

[Crust]

1. I am using kdenext
2. I successfully d-u 2 days ago and had a fully working system but the graphics were sluggish (have intel HD 4000  graphics) so I decided to d-u again today
3. baloo search is working

Code Select Expand

$ balooctl status
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Idle
Indexed 40724 / 40724 files
Current size of index is 540.11 MiB

4. using baloosearch from the commandline works
5. searching for anything in dolphin results in  no files found.

[devil]

You could try to delete the old index'.  They are stored under ~/.local/share/baloo/. Then restart the service. There will also be a new version coming in that will discard your index anyway.

Oh, Kdenext altready has it. Well, I would expect the index being rebuilt automaticaly. So, if it's not working, do it manualy.

I have just pushed a new baloo version with a couple of upstream fixes:

In any case seraching in dolphin worked out of the box for me with the older 5.15 and 5.14 versions.


Also note that dolphin was ported to frameworks recently, so in addition to what devil said you can also try if it  old dolphin based on kdelibs 4; it's possible to install it with "apt-get install dolphin4" and you can execute it just typing dolphin4 in the console or the plasma launcher. It's co-installable with the new frameworks based dolphin.

[Crust]

It does indeed work with dolphin4.

It must be a framework thing, but I am confused.

1. The index is correctly built and does exist in  ~/.local/share/baloo/ and works perfectly with dolphin4
2. It does not work with the new dolphin.  Is the index stored somewhere else?  How does baloo work with baloo-kf5?
3. I've installed konqueror and it's still based on framework 4.  It's missing the icons in the startup page.  Which package includes those icons?

How do I correctly enable baloo-kf5 and the new dolphin  to work together properly?

Thanks.

Thank you very much for your help.

One note:

I noticed in my ~/.kde/share/config/baloorc file that I have agentIndexingVersion=4.  Do I need to change this to 5?

Code Select Expand


$ cat baloorc     
[Akonadi]
agentIndexingVersion=4
initialIndexingDone=true


[devil]

I don't have a baloorc anymore. Instead I have baloofileinformationrc, and yes, it says: Version=5

[Crust]

devil,

Thanks.  I also have that file and it shows version 5.

I have 3 baloo configuration files.

Code Select Expand

~/.kde/share/config$ ls baloo*
baloofileinformationrc  baloofilerc  baloorc


Should I remove any of them?

[Crust]

I've solved this by removing all config files, deleting the index, then having baloo re-index.
