Baloo_file_extr inhibits suspend?

[Cris70]

Hi everybody,
on my openSUSE Tumbleweed laptop, sometimes suspend does not work.
Recently I had such an episode and I was able to capture what seems like a relevant part of dmesg.
Here it is:

From what I understand, it seems baloo_file_extr is inhibiting suspend.
How can I avoid this?
Should I report this as a bug in baloo?

Thank you in advance
Cris

i does appear to be a bug and should be reported with the details you have here.

in the meantime i would check my balooctl config list hidden and make sure it is set to “no” so it’s not trying to index itself or something else that’s keeping it from sleeping.

i would also review my folders and be sure to exclude anything that might be in flux on a random basis.

you can also just disable and purge the index using the balooctl command and start over if you need to.

Hi @skyfishgoo , sorry for the very late reply.
balloctl6 config list hidden on my laptop reports yes.

What is the meaning of this setting?

[skyfishgoo]

it means baloo is going to plow thru all your dot files and index a lot of meaningless code and other gibberish.

you can deactivate that setting in the GUI buy unckecking this box

but now you likely need to purge the baloo index of all the kruft and start over.

balloctl6 disable

balloctl6 purge

balloctl6 enable

balloctl6 status

if you ever need to search your dot files for a key=[value] pair or some other obscure setting, then you can use kfind, which is quite capable.
