Search works just fine here with Baloo activated! I did not try during
indexing however.
During the package builds there has been a time where Baloo and Kinit
was still at 5.74 while other stuff was at 5.77. At this time I installed
Baloo KF packages from experimental, yet it did not start. I had some
hint in ~/.xsession-errors that a library could not be found but it
referred to kinit. After everything was at 5.77 from unstable, Baloo
worked fine.
I did a "balooctl purge" do re-index everything cause I read in various
updates by Nate Graham or on KDE web page that there have been
significant changes in how it stores things into the Xapian database that
make is more efficient.
Norbert, Baloo is KDE's take on desktop search. These days it mostly
works for me. I think there is still and issue with BTRFS RAID 1 that it
can think at some time that the filesystem has changed and thus is would
index files as new it already knows. But in case you don't use that it
should just be fine. I use BTRFS RAID 1 for /home and / and will observe
whether that still happens.
Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it, a quiet and peaceful time
to everyone anyway,
Best,
