Bug ID: 481101
Summary: Enable File Search can't be permanently disabled
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 5.114.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Baloo File Daemon
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: instruf...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
`baloo_file`/`Enable File Search` can't be permanently disabled.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go into `File Search` in KDE settings
2. Tick to disable `Enable File Search` and click Apply
3. Reboot
4. Notice that `baloo_file` is chewing through CPU and I/O resources.
5. Go back into `File Search` in KDE settings
6. Notice that `Enable File Search` has been re-enabled.
OBSERVED RESULT
`baloo_file` continues to run, consuming CPU and I/O.
EXPECTED RESULT
`baloo_file` should be permanently disabled and the `Enable File Search` should
not be automagically re-enabled.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux/KDE Plasma
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.114.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. `systemctl --user disable kde-baloo.service` doesn't help. It still starts
up again at reboot.
2. Deleting the index after disabling `Enable File Search` makes no difference.
2. I need to disable `baloo_file` as my system is using `BTRFS` COW with
scheduled snapshots enabled. This causes `baloo_file` to re-index every time a
new snapshot is created, consuming large amounts of CPU and doing a lot of fs
reads (slowing other opartions down) and performing writes that negatively
impact SSD wear.
