[SOLVED] KDE 4.10: Nepomuk file indexing does not work

The new-and-improved Nepomuk file indexer does not seem to do anything in KDE 4.10. And if I turn it off again, I get this error message:

The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukfileindexer was not provided by any .service files

So it looks like something is broken there.

Thanks, Yoda, this looks like the same problem. Apparently the indexer does not descend into subdirectories, so if it is set to index $HOME, it will only add files in the home directory to its index.

Oh well, maybe KDE 4.10.1 will fix this issue.

P.S. Today's nepomuk-core update seems to have fixed the indexing issue.

Yes they added the upstream fix.

Very pleased to confirm this now works for me too.

What did you do to get the indexer going after installing the latest update? Because my Nepomuk still says:

File indexer is idle.
Indexed files: 66 files in index

:-(

What did you do

In my specific case I suspended indexing, modified the folders to be indexed (you could create a dummy folder to toggle indexing for that purpose perhaps), applied the setting then set indexing to resume.
