Description Christoph Feck 2021-04-10 15:18:58 UTC
SUMMARY

I use Dolphin (and the rest of the system) built without baloo dependencies.

Since a recent frameworks change, I get this error message on every new Dolphin window:

    Unable to create io-slave. klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'tags'.

I didn't update Dolphin, so I suspect the issue is in the frameworks code.
Comment 1 Stefan BrĂ¼ns 2021-04-12 15:56:27 UTC
*Not* a baloo bug.

Dolphin should check if an implementation for the protocol is defined, e.g. /usr/share/kservices5/tags.protocol
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-04-12 20:36:34 UTC
OK, that makes sense.
Comment 3 Andreas Sturmlechner 2021-05-08 14:12:42 UTC
I just got this with KIO-5.82.0 and dolphin-20.12.3, so the question is what has changed...
Comment 4 Andreas Sturmlechner 2021-05-08 14:34:42 UTC
Yup, no error when just downgrading to KIO-5.81.0.
Comment 5 Andreas Sturmlechner 2021-05-08 15:19:11 UTC
Sorry, what's actually happening is the error is still visible in the terminal, but not manifesting as an error dialog box.
Comment 6 Ahmad Samir 2021-05-08 18:39:45 UTC
It looks like KCoreDirLister is created on tags:/ even if baloo isn't found at build time:
void DolphinFacetsWidget::updateTagsMenu()
{
    updateTagsMenuItems({}, {});
    m_tagsLister.openUrl(QUrl(QStringLiteral("tags:/")), KCoreDirLister::OpenUrlFlag::Reload);
}

dolphin startup error is gone after ifdef'ing the KCoreDirLister line behind HAVE_BALOO, but I can still trigger it by right clicking into the dolphinview, effectively cancelling context menu.

Nevermind - that was just baloo-widgets still being installed.
