Re: Some feedback on KDE6 install

Check if its enabled in Systemsettings / Desktop / Search. If not, enable 
it and relog into the session.


balooctl6 status should show Baloo as running and probably doing some 
work.


If you want to reindex everything, you can try:

balooctl6 suspend; balooctl6 purge; balooctl resume

(or relog)

I aliased balooctl to balooctl6 in my shell configuration file.

The output could look like this:

% LANG=C.UTF-8 balooctl status
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Idle
Total files indexed: […]
Files waiting for content indexing: 0
Files failed to index: 0
Current size of index is […] GiB



On my side I have

LANG=C.UTF-8 balooctl6 status
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Idle
Total files indexed: 60,390
Files waiting for content indexing: 0
Files failed to index: 0
Current size of index is 35.46 MiB


BUT in dolphin I do have only partial correct information for recent 
elements:


Recent File is empty although I created one today
Recent location is also empty
Modified Today is correct (I modified the file I copied).
Modified Yesterday is also correct.


So the two "recent item" are still empty. (NB I translated menu items 
from french I hope translation is correct or at least you can guess the 
item menu).

Looks good.

Some baloo processes running/waiting in the background?

I can confirm. "Recent File" and "Recent Location" do not even open here. 
Dolphin continues to display whatever it has shown before.

The other two work, but I do get

kf.kio.core: couldn't create worker: "Unknown protocol 'thumbnail'."

messages when I run Dolphin from console. But maybe that error message is 
related to above non working locations. In further testing it seems that 
Dolphin standard output is one message late… i.e. I test sftp and then 
fish, but get another sftp error message and only when I test fish again the 
fish one (see below).

It appears to me those are not even working at all.

But search via KRunner works just fine also in contents of files.

I have an suspicion, maybe some kio stuff is missing for that?

Cause fish:// and sftp:// protocols also do not work:

kf.kio.core: couldn't create worker: "Unknown protocol 'sftp'."
kf.kio.core: couldn't create worker: "Unknown protocol 'fish'."

FTP protocol however works okay, like with:

ftp://ftp.de.debian.org

Hmm, I have an idea:

kio-extras is still 4:23.08.4-2 and only contains Qt 5/KF 5 protocols. In 
there are all the protocols that Dolphin said were missing above and then 
some.

I think once someone has updated KIO related packages things will work 
again.

Best,
