Description:

baloo4 has been replaced by the package "baloo-frameworks (5.6.0-1)",

and I notice a bug : it's impossible to disable baloo, at each boot baloo runs and slows down the boot process ( high I/O hardisk with the process "baloo-file" )

in KDE4 systemsettings I set baloo options to not scan my /home, but this setting is not respected by baloo

how to disable baloo-frameworks ?


Additional info:
* package version(s) baloo-frameworks (5.6.0-1)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
- install baloo-frameworks (5.6.0-1)
- you will notice that baloo_file is running at each boot and generates slow boot ( excessive I/O hardisk )
- and the baloo settings in KDE4 systemsettings are not followed by baloo-frameworks
This task depends upon

You are correct, it seems there is no UI at the moment.

You could copy $HOME/.kde4/share/config/baloofilerc to $HOME/.config/
But I don't see it as a packaging bug, maybe we should just mention this to the wiki.

I installed kde-cli-tools package,

but how to use "kcmshell5" in order to disable baloo ?

if I type kcmshell5 I get this output :

$ kcmshell5
Could not find drkonqi at /usr/lib/drkonqi
Usage: kcmshell5 [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] module

A tool to start single KDE control modules

Generic options:
--help Show help about options
--help-qt Show Qt specific options
--help-kde Show KDE specific options
--help-all Show all options

-- End of options

Options:
--list List all possible modules

Arguments:
module Configuration module to open
--lang <language> Specify a particular language
--silent Do not display main window
--args <arguments> Arguments for the module

then I type :

$ kcmshell5 --list

The following modules are available:
kf5.kservice.sycoca: Trying to open ksycoca from "/home/cesar/.cache/ksycoca5"

so it's not clear, what is the exact procedure if I want to disable baloo ?

balooctl disable

Nope, I was wrong and I modified my previous comment.

Andreas Scarpino : thanks for your answer,

so the workaround is to copy the file ~/.kde4/share/config/baloofilerc to ~/.config,

maybe you should add this information in a "texttooltip" when the user do the upgrade of baloo with pacman, for example during the pacman -Syu :

>> info : don't forget to copy the file ~/.kde4/share/config/baloofilerc to your ~/.config
