The baloo_file_extractor
process in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS takes up a lot of memory. top
reports 84.3% of my 15.6 GB, - and some 20% (more or less) of the CPU.
I do not even run KDE, - I am in a Gnome session.
I note that there has previously (in 2014) been a problem with baloo_file_extractor
, see How to keep Baloo running but with lower ressource consumption? But I suppose that is fixed. I do not have any external media mounted.
sudo aptitude remove baloo-kf5
, logout and login, i.e., removing KDE parts.
