I made already an bug-report on bugs.gentoo.org, so i just copy/paste from my original bug-report: After turning on the nepomuk file indexer in system settings -> desktop search i get following text: did not receive a reply. possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. When i try to force file indexing i'll also get this message: ~ $ qdbus -v org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukfileindexer /nepomukfileindexer Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. This happens also with completely new users. Deleting anything in ~ doesn't help at all. I could reproduce it on two system: 32bit/64bit - both unstable Stable kde doesn't seems to be affected. Just tried it there and it runs (kde-base/nepomuk-4.8.3) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to system settings -> desktop search 2. turn on nepomuk file indexer Actual Results: did not receive a reply. possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. System-settings also hangs/freezes when trying to disable nepomuk again. It always takes a few minutes. Expected Results: nepomuk file indexer should start to index $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.11.9 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.6.3, glibc-2.15-r2, 3.5.0-gentoo x86_64)

I'm not sure what 'kde-base/nepomuk-4.9.0' is. There is a nepomuk-core repository. I can only assume you meant that. In that case, I don't understand why gentoo would want to call it by such a different name. Anyway, could you please gdb into the fileindexer and provide me with a backtrace? > $ gdb > attach <pid> > thread apply all backtrace > detach <pid> This should do the trick. Also if possible could you switch of nepomuk (qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver quit) and restart it by running 'nepomukserver'. I'd like to see the entire debug log, if possible. Please make sure nepomuk is enabled in kdebugdialog. Thanks.

Created attachment 73118 [details] pid's of nepomuk via htop
For the name thing i simply don't know. there is a package called nepomuk-core which contains, regarding their description, the core libraries of nepomuk, while the nepomuk package just contains the kde4 client. Anyway, i really don't know about that :) I made what you said, i hope it's correct. I made a screenshot from htop, where you see the pid's of nepomuk. with gdb i made a backtrace once from nepomuk itself and once from the pid of "nepomukservicestub nepomukfileindexer". I checked kdebugdialog and enabled everything which contains nepomuk. I turned off nepomuk and started it again from konsole. You'll see the output in nepomuk-debug.
(In reply to comment #4) > Created attachment 73117 [details] > nepomuk gdb fileindexer output Please could you install the debugging symbols for nepomuk and then try again? I need the symbols in order to be able to debug this. Hint: You shouldn't be getting stuff like this - #7 0xb53d1aaa in ?? () from /usr/lib/kde4/nepomukfileindexer.so #8 0xb53d1c61 in ?? () from /usr/lib/kde4/nepomukfileindexer.so #9 0xb53dd482 in ?? () from /usr/lib/kde4/nepomukfileindexer.so #10 0xb53ddc95 in ?? () from /usr/lib/kde4/nepomukfileindexer.so #11 0xb53ddf69 in ?? () from /usr/lib/kde4/nepomukfileindexer.so #12 0xb53cea81 in ?? () from /usr/lib/kde4/nepomukfileindexer.so The '??' should have proper names. Thanks
Created attachment 73329 [details] nepomuk gdb fileindexer output with debug enabled
Created attachment 73330 [details] nepomuk gdb output with debug enabled
I've created another two gdb output's. This time with debug enabled. There are still a few "??" from QT libs, if you need them i can rebuild qt with debug too. :)
Thanks for the backtraces. I've posted a review request, the fix should be there in 4.9.1 https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106230/
