`nice` won't change a thing.Īs of KDE 4.13.0 (Kubuntu Trusty) it is no longer possible to disable Semantic Desktop in the GUI. But the other is that it should be quite obvious that something like this should run under `ionice`, because that's the real bottleneck here.
The last thing I want to to drain my battery on a feature I don't want enabled.Īlso there's `baloo_file_cleaner` which is constantly writing to disk at 300 K/s speed although I've set `Indexing-Enabled` to false and added my home folder to ignore list. Vangelis that doesn't matter to someone running it on a laptop. This means that baloo is using a core at 100% for as long as this core is idle. However, it should be noted that baloo is running with nice set to 19 (lowest priority). Just upgraded and I see one core running at 100% because baloo is indexing. by the way, it also eats an entire CPU core on my system. I completely understand the decision to have indexing enabled by default - many users want such a feature - but _no option to turn it off_ ? Uh. Eating 100% cpu and not giving the user a way to turn it off is just bad design.Ĭompletely agree with CountMurphy here. The fact that there is no way to disable the bastard without random hackery is a huge fricken bug. Could you please file a bug? We'll be happy to try and fix your problem. Developing a file indexer can be tricky as everyone has different files. But this should still be the users' Has it been using all your CPU? We tested it quite extensively, but stuff still gets missed.
Make it stop using up 100% of my CPU and bringing my computer to a grinding halt and I might think about using it. We would like to promote the use of searching and feel that Baloo should never get in the users way". "There is no explicit “Enable/Disable” button any more.
