KDE / dolphin: kioslave5 closed unexpectedly

Hi KDE-users,

since a few weeks now and after an udate of kde-plasma with all packages I get an error-message when starting dolphin: “kioslave5 closed unexpectedly”

Code:	
Application: kioslave5 (kioslave5), signal: Segmentation fault

The error itsself is always shown on starting the dolphin filemanager and doing file operations within. Nevertheless all operations are working so the error message is simply driving me crazy. Can anybody please tell me what to do to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance
Wolfgang

That’s baloo crashing in fact as it was listing tags:/, that happens often in the background :confused:

Hi meven,

thanks a lot for your quick response, but is there a solution for this issue?

When I moved to KDE plasma in september 2023 everything was fine. The crashes appeared first with upgrading to baloo 5.113.0 (as far as I can remember) around december 2023. Since then you get this message every time you start dolphin - not really nice, isn’t it?

Best regards, Wolfgang

That’s a bug, no way around it. A crash always is, except sometimes there are workarounds.
Disabling baloo for instance would help. But this crash is not very important, it does not prevent to use baloo in fact, just accessing tags://.

You can report the bug so that it can be triaged.
Log in to KDE Bugtracking System for the tags component.

Hi meven,

thanks again for your answer, but John Little found a solution to stop those messages here on Kubuntu forums.

To stop the crashes, clear out the baloo directory, .local/share/baloo

I did so, and the crash message is gone.
So this problem is not really solved (what’s been the reason for the crashes???), but at the moment I’m content with this “solution”.

Best regards, Wolfgang
