Hello,
After an update ( i believe the one before the jump to Plasma 5.9 - i’m on Tumbleweed ) i stop being able to search on remote folders from Dolphin.
It keeps on “Searching” without ever giving back any result…
Does anyone have a clue about this?
Thanks
I’m not using Plasma 5.9 so can only offer general advice. Any particular remote filesystem protocol? (sftp, ssh, smb,…)
If it is really a problem with Dolphin, then the following approach may help to debug (dolphin-debuginfo may be required before using gdb)
From a terminal launch dolphin with
~> gdb dolphin
(gdb) set follow-fork-mode child
(gdb) run
Try searching/browsing the remote filesystem in question.
Hi
Thank you for your reply 
I get this as a result:

Trying to convert empty KLocalizedString to QString.
It stays like this endlessly…
I already tried whit samba-client-debuginfo-4.5.3-2.1.x86_64 installed but got the same info plus a request to install dozens of more debuginfo packages.
Also, i found that Dolphin running from Root works fine…
Try a different user could be your plasma configs are broken or no longer compatible
Is there a way i can reset dolphin’s configs?
First try a different regular user
~/.config/dolphinrc I believe holds it’s settings
With new user it worked fine. So, I went into ~/.config/dolphinrc, made a backup of the file and then deleted it. Restarted Dolphin and everything started working again
(had to remake a few configurations, but a couple of minutes later it was perfect again)!!!
Thank you so much
