KDE Search Bug Ghost File in every search

Someone have a solution for this problem?

Hi @RayonRa I solved the issue all I did was disabling the baloo, purge all the the indexed data and the enable it again.
balooctl disable
balooctl purge
and for safety I removed also the index-lock file in .local/share/baloo
balooctl enable
The files now are indexed and the ghost document is gone

Hi @sergiupopescu, when i execute balooclt enable, i have this error:

“Error (2448): No current point in closepath”
“Error (2571): No current point in closepath”
“Error (2671): No current point in closepath”
“Error (2731): No current point in closepath”
“Error (2802): No current point in closepath”

And the ghost file is always here.

@RayonRa I talked to a KDE contributor, the 5.77 version of baloo in broken, the 5.78 will be fixed

@sergiupopescu Thank you so much. I will wait for the new version. Thanks again.

I am still having this issue too, even with version 5.78 of baloo and following the above steps.

EDIT: I found on the Arch wiki that one needs to logout and login again after disabling baloo. Maybe that is the trick to be rid of this ghost document? I will try to remember to report back once I’m convinced this procedure worked.

Yes, I am still having this issue too.
I’ll wait for your test. :slight_smile:

I can say that I am cautiously optimistic that it worked. Logging out after disabling baloo I think was the missing step to fix this issue. So log back in and enable, and hopefully that ghost file will be gone for good for both of us. :grin: :crossed_fingers:
