Bug ID: 433204
Summary: Baloo File Indexing always stops
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 5.79.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Baloo File Daemon
Assignee: stefan.bru...@rwth-aachen.de
Reporter: p.wibber...@btinternet.com
Target Milestone: ---
As of 17 December 2020, Dolphin is not displaying any files in timeline.
Running 'balooctl status' shows "Baloo File Indexer is not running". I can run
'balooctl enable', immediately after which 'balooctl status' shows that it is
running but, within a couple of seconds, running it again shows that it has
stopped. No additional files get indexed. (I have just over 200,000 files
indexed and the current size of index is 28.73GB.)
On a couple of occasions, running 'balooctl status' gave the message "kf.baloo:
KDE Baloo File Indexer has reached the inotify folder watch limit. File changes
will be ignored.". This message was repeated about 470 times, following which
it reported, "Baloo File Indexer is running". However, it stopped a few
seconds later. I tried running "sudo sysctl -w
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=16383", increasing the previous value of 8192, but
this has not made any difference.
I'm not sure how to obtain any more troubleshooting information. Any advice
much appreciated.
Thanks and regards
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Konsole, run "balooctl status".
2. Run "balooctl enable".
3. Run "balooctl status" two or three times more.
OBSERVED RESULT
'balooctl status' reports "Baloo File Indexer is not running"
'balooctl enable' reports "Enabling and starting the File Indexer"
'balooctl status' reports "Baloo File Indexer is running" if run immediately,
but then "Baloo File Indexer is not running" 3 or 4 seconds later.
EXPECTED RESULT
'balooctl status' should report "Baloo File Indexer is running".
