#baloo — Public Fediverse posts

J’ai eu un petit soucis avec _baloo file extractor_ qui tournait sans fin dans le vide et j’ai trouvé une solution simple ici : https://discuss.kde.org/t/baloo-file-extractor-running-and-eating-up-cpu-and-memory/6043/3

Il y a juste une coquille, il faut aller dans `~/.local/share/baloo` pour supprimer les deux index.

Früher so:
#Baloo Was erlaube !
Heute so:
#Timeshift Was erlaube ! Flasche voll !
Das Dreckstimeshift benutzt ¼ Speicher der NVME
Platte ist zu 95% voll.
Warum 5 riesige Snaphots? Und das jeden Tag Grrrr ? 😡

sudo timeshift --delete-all

"I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)" is a song from #WaltDisney's 1967 film #TheJungleBook. The song was written by songwriters #RobertAndRichardSherman, and was performed by singer and musician #LouisPrima as #KingLouie, with #PhilHarris providing additional vocals as #Baloo the bear.

Bueno pues hemos desactivado el indexado de archivos y carpetas ocultas y activado el indexado del contenido de archivos. 6 GiB menos de caché de archivos.

No es suficiente teniendo en cuenta que si ejecutas el drop de la caché ésta se queda en 20 GiB menos (14 GiB si descontamos los 6 GiB mencionados). Linux mantiene esa memoria ocupada por las risas.

Nach Jahren meinen "speziellen Freund" Baloo wieder getroffen Grrrr.
5GB Was erlaube #Baloo !
rm -r ~/.local/share/baloo

So #KDE filemanager #dolphin doesn't search through symbolic links and I had already spent about a year or so cursing #baloo whereas it worked fine on my laptop.
I had to get #fstab bind mounts to mount specific directories from another drive onto my home directory. Everything worked!

Now using #zfs meant I had to force the correct order of mounting else I have empty directories.

fstab's #systemd option - x-systemd.after=datapool.mount came to rescue and everything works again.

#homelab

Creo que lo del aumento del tamaño de la caché de disco es por haber activado #Baloo. En cualquier caso pésimo trabajo por parte de Linux al liberar memoria para que la usen procesos que la necesiten. #Kswapd tarda mucho. Es más rápido y efectivo indicarle a Linux que escriba todo a disco y libere dicha memoria: sudo bash -c "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".

No quiero swap con un SSD. Gracias. El trasiego («thrashing» en inglés) gratuito no me entusiasma.

Con la cantidad de RAM disponible hoy día el uso de swap sólo retrasa lo inevitable: matar procesos o aumentar la RAM.

A #desktopenvironment has to work properly out of the box.

If it includes cpu and storage killers like #baloo, as the desktop environment #KDE does, then it is a k.o. criteria. Then you shouldn't use it.

Dear people from KDE: please remove baloo from KDE for the time being. It's not an essential feature, and it only causes problems atm.

You can fix it, but you shouldn't include it in this broken state in "normal" releases.

Ich glaube ich muss #KDE wieder löschen/deinstallieren von meinem Laptop. Das ist ja furchtbar, wie viel CPU-Leistung und Speicherplatz #baloo braucht?!?!

Mehrere Gigabyte Speicherplatz und 100% CPU-Auslastung für >15 Minuten, der Lüfter lief auf Hochtouren.

Und das nur zum Dateien indexieren und durchsuchbar machen.

Und baloo alleine entfernen geht irgendwie nicht, weil das zur KDE desktop environment offenbar dazugehört?!

Dann doch lieber #Gnome.

I've been using KDE Plasma for a few weeks now (because for some reason my framerate in Gnome Shell keeps getting worse with each new version. Yes, so bad it's noticeable)

And seriously: what the hell is baloo_file_extractor doing? It's just always there, wasting on average 20% of CPU. Extracting/indexing what? I have no idea.

The File Search settings tab claims the file index is "96% complete", but that it's also "Not Running", while `balooctl6 status` confirms it *is* running.

I also have no idea if this thing has sane defaults, or if I should add paths like ~/.cache, ~/.thunderbird, ~/.gradle, ... to the excluded folders. I have no idea, all I know is that I did do that and it made no difference :blobcatshrug:

#rant #kde #baloo

@T_X In my case the cold storage are HDDs with archived data that are offline and only fetched when needed.
I am thinking about ways to be able to search contents of these drives without needing to connect them.

I am wondering if maybe Baloo could do this - I've defined unique mountpoints for each archival drive so I guess if I index them, I should be able to use something like KFind to search the index and show me files that are on the offfline drives?

#KDE #Baloo #Kfind

@hoergen not exposed as button on the desktop, but the work on #systemd user session units for all #KDEPlasma components and apps lays the groundwork for this kind of prioritization, where certain tasks will only get resources if they aren't needed by any other etc.,
This allows for foreground tasks like #kwin to be always snappy while background tasks like #Baloo only get what's left over etc.

Commission réalisée pour Gushki ! J'ai eu plus de mal avec le fond qu'avec le personnage.

Commission done for Gushki! I had more trouble with the background than the character.

The new #Slimbook laptop set-up adventure continues!

This time the main goal was to set up system roll-back using Btrfs for when (inevitably) I mess up the install.

https://matija.suklje.name/system-snapshots-wayland-vulkan

TL;DR:
• update your firmware
• #Btrfs + #Baloo = problem (& workaround)
• Btrfs snapshots – for system roll-back (& backups)
• tried #Vulkan & #Wayland
• some small cool tools I use

I am trying desperately to use a workflow that uses baloo indexing text search. But any widget I find can't return more than 5 items in the list which is entirely useless. I really wonder if anybody ever used this thing before me. #kde #baloo

Vorhin einen Bugreport für #KDE #Plasma hinterlassen, der mich schon lange hart nervt: #Baloo-Indexer rödelt täglich über Stunden rum.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470665

Systemauslastung dabei 🤡 : https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=159477

and of course the #KDE #baloo search language is not documented at all. And what is documented does not work in #dolphin

TIL that #KDE #Dolphin has very solid git integration.

If searching and indexing (#baloo) would not cause insane CPU load, random hangups wouldn't happen every second boot, the save file dialog would auto-select the file name dialog instead of the search dialog... it would actually be a good file manager.
