[solved] dolphin home folder on user drive slow to access, if at all

i cant access my home directory right now. i have it mounted to a seperate hard drive.

i noticed that it has been slow lately, but for the last couple days, it takes about 10-20 minutes sometimes to load the drives contents through dolphin, constantly says searching until it finally loads. 

the access through the shell is fine. 

i am using disk-by-uuid , could this be the problem?  i have not made any changes to hardware.

anybody had this problem and know what it could be?

Re: [solved] dolphin home folder on user drive slow to access, if at all

Is this problem only occurs in dolphin? You can try pcmanfm (lightweight file manager) to confirm this.

If it's only KDE problem try

rm -rf $KDEHOME/cache-*/kpc/
kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental

How do you mount your disk? Can you show fstab?

Re: [solved] dolphin home folder on user drive slow to access, if at all

well, that program is night and day against dolphin, its working much faster, that is, until i browse to my home directory, then i get the same lag, it wont load the home directory. But i do notice as far as browsing the network, there is 0 lag on the network files, which is never the case with dolphin.   But atleast it doesnt hang up like dolphin has been when it cant load the home dir.

yes fstab, thats what i was looking for, i am mounting with uuid, and im thinking thats part of the problem. i would prefer to use uuid if i can fix the problem around it, because i sometimes swap my drives around(havent yet since i built arch though)

Re: [solved] dolphin home folder on user drive slow to access, if at all

# echo $KDEHOME

yields blank, so i looked around for the cache, and i found /var/tmp/kdecache-*/kpc and moved contents to trash, (was that directory supposed to be in my home dir instead?  eg.. /home/*/... ?  if so i i can restore the files from trash bin.

anyway, after i deleted the files, i ran the command and got this

# kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
kbuildsycoca4 running...
kbuildsycoca4(2828) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry Categories in "/usr/share/applications/zenmap-root.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon).

Re: [solved] dolphin home folder on user drive slow to access, if at all

well, i think i solved it;

i started copyign out files from the user directory to a network share, and after that it started working properly.  i think it was a bad symlink to a network share.  would this cause that kind of lagg?  like 10 minutes lagg?

can somebody explain what happened here though?

kbuildsycoca4(2828) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry text/html in "/home/wolfdogg/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon).

do i need to do any followup because of this?
