            Bug ID: 364042
           Summary: balooctl status always reports "Baloo Index could not
                    be opened"
           Product: frameworks-baloo
           Version: 5.22.0
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: balooctl
          Assignee: m...@vhanda.in
          Reporter: skierp...@gmail.com
                CC: pinak.ah...@gmail.com

I was running Kubuntu 16.04, then set up the Kubuntu Backports PPA to run newer
KDE.

In both, `balooctl status` always reports "Baloo Index could not be opened".

In ~/.local/share/baloo I have a 293 MB index and 8192 index-lock, both
modified recently.

I ran `strace balooctl status` and found that shortly before printing this
error, balooctl attempts
  mmap(NULL, 5368709120, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 12, 0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot
allocate memory)
where fd 12 is ~/.local/share/baloo/index. I don't have 5,368,709,120 bytes of
RAM :-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. balooctl status

Actual Results:  
Baloo Index could not be opened

Expected Results:  
Why can't it open ~/.local/share/baloo/index ?

 "Could not open Baloo Index at <path>" would be a better error message.

Baloo is working somewhat; in Dolphin I can find some files in my home
directory by content.
