I have spent some days fiddling with that stuff based on my own experience and feedback i got from users at sidux. The best way i found to have a usable index is: - stop nepomuk and strigi in systemsettings - move away or delete everything in: ~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/data/virtuosobackend (there might be incompatible database from virtuoso 5.x in there) - out and back in to your account - start nepomuk andv strigi - let it do the indexing - test (in dolphin, krunner is unreliable atm) your index - see if e.g. files under kmail got indexed
for me to have a complete index i had to do 5 runs of strigi. in the first 3 runs it would not even touch any dot files under .kde in the end it works fine now but popular searches use a lot of ram. regards Ferdinand -- Ferdi Thommes Vorstand sidux e.V.
