Comment 1 Nate Graham 2023-11-26 16:35:44 UTC
The positioning of 'Idle" is currently intentional, because normally that string is actually showing the filename that's being indexed, and we want to preserve maximum space for it so it's less likely to get elided or wrapped.

The fact that it says "Not running" and "0% complete", in conjunction with the "Idle" string, seems like there's some internal inconsistency in the indexing status or something. If it's 0% complete, then it should start to do things, not be idle! Have you manually paused it or something?
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2023-11-30 12:07:11 UTC
I have not paused the indexing. I think baloo is not working, balooctl command is not found.

$ balooctl monitor
bash: balooctl: command not found

$ balooctl status
bash: balooctl: command not found

How about `balooctl6`?

balooctl6 works, thanks. Now the original bug has disappeared.
As seen in the screenshot attached to this comment, the paragraph on top of the KCM has unnecessary line breaks though.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-12-01 17:52:43 UTC
The line breaks are in fact intentional to avoid the text being much wider than the rest of the layout. A Real Designer™ recommended it so we decided to go with it. :)
