Opensuse kde crash

Hello
I installed opensuse 42.2 kde plasma on my pc. When the system comes up , after few minutes, system hard drive start works a lot and it didn’t stop and then I can’t do anything.
The format of my hard drive that I installed opensuse on it is ext4.
please tell me what to do.

Thank you

“After a few minutes”, is that all before you login?

I mean after login :frowning:

Try to disable file indexing in “Configure Desktop” (systemsettings5)->Search->Desktop Search.

Which would probably make it a desktop problem. As wolfi323 assumes.

When I delete files in Trash or when I want to see hard drive partitions in Yast->partitioner the system hard drive works a lot and it takes 10 minutes to open partitioner.

I installed many os like kali, ubuntu, mint but I have this problem only with opensuse Kde not opensuse gnome and I don’t know why.

Wolfi gave you a suggestion. You did not report back

  • if you tried that suggestion;
  • when yes, what the results were;
  • when no, why you didn’t.

So we are stuck at that point in the debugging process. The ball is on your side to continue with the next step.

when I open “system settings” and go to “search” , there are two options, Plasma search and file search .
in plasma search exist many items and I don’t know which one select or not, but in file search only var path exist.

for example in plasma search exist “Document”, “Folder”, “Image” that explain for all of them : “Searches through files, emails and contacts”

disable these three options or not ?

I discover that when my system in crash mode the “baloo_file_extractor” daemon consume cpu a lot and I chose it from ksysguard and chose “end process” and my system goes well.

Hello

I found a solution for baloo_file_extractor and here is it:

Attention: I test this method in opensuse leap 42.2 & 42.3 without any problem.

1: go to “/home/YourName/.config/” path and open file “baloofilerc”.

2: in this file add “Indexing-Enabled=false” after “[General]”.

3: open file manager – super user mode and go to “/etc/xdg/autostart/” and open “baloo_file.desktop” file with a text editor.

4: in this file find this line “X-KDE-autostart-condition=baloofilerc:Basic Settings:Indexing-Enabled:true” and change the TRUE to FALSE, like below.

X-KDE-autostart-condition=baloofilerc:Basic Settings:Indexing-Enabled:false

5: reboot your system.

That’s all :wink:

Good luck

This by itself should prevent it from starting.
You can also disable it in KDE’s systemsettings5 (“Configure Desktop”) though, as I wrote earlier.

3: open file manager – super user mode and go to “/etc/xdg/autostart/” and open “baloo_file.desktop” file with a text editor.

4: in this file find this line “X-KDE-autostart-condition=baloofilerc:Basic Settings:Indexing-Enabled:true” and change the TRUE to FALSE, like below.

X-KDE-autostart-condition=baloofilerc:Basic Settings:Indexing-Enabled:false

That’s nonsense, you shouldn’t make this change at all.
Actually you just enabled it to autostart on login again by this change, but it will immediately quit because you disabled indexing in its settings earlier.

The original line only autostarts it if indexing is enabled in baloorc, and that’s how it should be.
