Did something go wrong during my update process or doesn’t Strigi work in 11.2? (had a lot of items I had to skip, though I assumed those were fixed after running a second update/checking for dependency issues which YaST didn’t find)
Under Personal Settings > Advanced tab > Desktop Search there are 2 options.
Nepomuk and Strigi, I could enable Nepomuk but Strigi gave me the error
The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files
Now I could enable Strigi but it wouldn’nt start and since it was dinner time I decided a reboot while I had dinner would take care of that, and it did.
All in all, I now have a working Search function in Dolphin… but is this possible by default, or does everyone need to jump trough these hoops (need to open a bug report then).
Whichever, that did not work. Strigi is not running, failed to initialize, mostly due to installation problem.
I have it running on a test Kubuntu 9.10 no problem. I installed soprano-backend-sesame.
I need strigi to run, cuz it’s the only way to display additional meta information in the information panel of Dolphin and I use that a lot. Mandatory.
So how can I troubleshoot a failing to initialize strigi?
Also, the folders are different is you are 32-bits. My link was for 64-bits.
Bad package. Also bad cuz you need all that indexing to get picture dimensions (I have another post here about that and there is a huge bug on bugs.kde.org).
From what I read here, it’s again mixing packages from different repos. If something does not work, find out why first, or go here first. By now I would have to ask the versionnumber for almost every package related to nepomuk/strigi.
@Axeia: please stick to the couple of repos advised all over the forum. What you have done now, is one day or another bringing new trouble. As stated by some other posters, it does work out of the box. So, you must have changed something that came out of the box to make it ‘not working’.
