Why is there a baloo_filemetad process, even though I have disabled baloo?
bruni@bruni-Inspiron-5547:~$ balooctl status
Baloo is currently disabled. To enable, please run balooctl enable
bruni@bruni-Inspiron-5547:~$ ps -A | grep baloo
12863 ? 00:00:00 baloo_filemetad
I am not interested in this purely academically, but this process is often the culprit when something is hanging in my system (I use a lot of mounted filesystems (mainly webdav and samba). I really love KDE since 4.3, but they always seemed to have a thing for file indexing and nonetheless never managed to get it right.
I am on Kubuntu 18.10, KDE Plasma Version 5.13.5.
ps -A
command shows justbaloo_file
andbaloorunner
. But mine is a standalone system without anything else mounted; no samba. Maybe you could ask at reddit.com/r/kde and at kubuntuforums.net/forum.php as well?baloo_filemetad
. That maybe because I don't have any mounted devices? But I googled forbaloo_filemetad
and came up empty. Which I why I suggested asking elsewhere in case people with more experience can help you.
