KDE 4.4 SC Files Indexing

I'm using KDE 4.4 SC. When I activate the Strigi File Indexing it starts indexing files but at some point, it stops saying that the strigi indexing is inactive. This happens every time that I disable and then enable again the Strigi File Indexing.

Is there any logs for strigi or nepomuk? I don't know whats causing this problem.

Re: KDE 4.4 SC Files Indexing

I had nepomuk / strigi misbehaving until I (a) deleted their database / configfiles and (b) shouted at them. Not sure which helped. If you want to go for (a), the files / directories are

~/.kde4/share/{config/nepomuk{server,strigi}rc,apps/nepomuk}

Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.

Re: KDE 4.4 SC Files Indexing

I think what you described is how strigi works, it doesn't index constantly. Here it indexes, then stops and then after some time starts again.
I think it has to do with the free resources. If there's free memory to spare it starts indexing and then it stops. It also indexes in intervals.

But i could be wrong.
(If you want a definite answer go to KDE forum, Semantic Desktop sub-forum: http://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=154 it was just created.)

Strigi acts as described above and that seems to be its normal behaviour, I would say. The problem in my case is I cannot find anything, as Nepomuk search constantly gives 0 answers...

Yes, thats my problem too. That's why I thought that Strigi behavior was a bug.

Being inactive from time to time is not a bug (it's a feature, because you want to work with your PC and strigi does slow your PC), but not finding anything is a bug.

Re: KDE 4.4 SC Files Indexing

Same problem here, I don't find any results, deleted the nepomuk config files, but still no result.
