SUMMARY After boot, Baloo crashes every so often. I've got an idea of what may cause this, specifically files with invalid names. The reason for this is that some tools like Gradle output jars which, if certain unicode characters are used, split some of these characters in two. This results in filenames such as "sɹÇ_Æ_É_llá´_Î_-1.0.jar" and similar, possibly containing hidden or invalid characters. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Unknown, but here's my suggestion: 1. Create a blank file and rename it to sɹÇ_Æ_É_llá´_Î_-1.0.jar 2. Reboot, as this issue did not happen to me until I rebooted.
