Bug ID: 358548
Summary: baloo_file_extractor high CPU and memory usage
Product: Baloo
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Baloo File Daemon
Assignee: m...@vhanda.in
Reporter: rgno...@gmail.com
CC: pinak.ah...@gmail.com
Yesterday, I used Krunner in order to search for a pdf file I downloaded, but
it wasn't found. I thought maybe baloo wasn't running, so I typed 'baloo' and
an entry named 'File Indexer Monitor' was displayed. I clicked on it, but
nothing happened. Shortly afterwards, I noticed the laptop fan was spinning a
lot, so I opened KSysGuard and found that baloo_file_extractor was using over
50% CPU, and sometimes it reached 100% CPU usage. Things didn't go better over
the minutes, and today I'm experiencing a very similar behaviour. Additionally
I found that, when I search for some files stored in my laptop using KRunner,
not all of them are being found (it only displays a file if I recently opened
it).
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Antergos from https://antergos.com/try-it/ , using the 2015.12.29
i686 iso image.
2. Insltall the system (on virtualbox, for example).
3. Put some files .(pdf, .ods, .odt, .mp3) inside your /home subfolders (for
example, /Documents, /Music), and download some other from the web, but do not
open any of them.
4. Try to find any of these files by typing their names or file extension in
KRunner.
5. Type 'baloo' in KRunner.
6. Click the 'File Indexer Monitor'.
7. Check for baloo_file_extractor CPU usage.
Actual Results:
Step 4: no results for your files will be displayed.
Step 6: the Indexer Monitor window will not appear.
Step 7: baloo_file_extractor uses over 50% of your CPU. Sometimes it could
reach 100%
Expected Results:
Step 4: your files should be displayed.
Step 6: a window showing the file indexer's current status/activity should be
displayed.
Step 7: this CPU usage should decrease/stop after a while.
1. I ran baloosearch over the not found files, with no results (only
information about elapsed time).
2. I ran balooshow over the not found files, with no results (only a message
telling me that no information about the index was found).
3. I ran ps aux | grep baloo_file_extractor, and then ran balooshow over the
numbers this command returned. Got an error message (the <<fileID>> is not
identical to the Baloo's real <<fileID>>. This is a bug).
4. I typed the name of some of the files I have in my laptop, in KRunner (with
and without file extension). I get some results: under an 'Audio' or a 'File'
tag (depending on if I typed an .ods, .odt or an .mp3 file name), an icon or a
list of icons is displayed, without any additional information alongside. These
icons are all the same: small windows with a '?' inside. If I clic on any of
them I get this message: wrong URL format.
5. I checked if baloo_file process was running, and it was.
Here are the outputs I got from terminal:

Leaving it marked as 'Major', because Plasma's searching capabilities are a
very useful feature of this desktop environment.
