Description luisfe 2015-09-23 08:25:52 UTC 
I use baloo 5.14 compiled for debian sid.

Since I was not able to search by content in the command line I tried baloo_file_extractor, but the program just freezes and does nothing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. luisfe@mychabol:~$ baloo_file_extractor some_file.txt
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The program just sits there, no cpu use, no IO, no error, never finish

The machine is idle, no other program is doing anything heavy.

Expected Results:  
To finish and extract the information from the file.

baloo_file_extractor is an implementation detail and is not meant to be called by the user. If you want to manually index a file for debugging I suggest using balooctl.

$ balooctl index <filePath>

Also, I'm worried that Baloo is not functioning for your. Perhaps we should diagnose that as well? What does `balooctl status` say?

Ok

I have realised that without recommends debian installs several filemetadata libs, but not a package called libkf5filemetadata-bin. After installing this package and forcing reindexing (balooctl disable/enable) no I can search by content.

Sorry for the noise and thanks for your help. Closing the bug.
