SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** My system is set up to dual boot Debian 12 & Windows 11, with most of the disk dedicated to a shared drive used by both for file storage. When using the music indexing feature, using "Use fast native indexer", no files were found. Switching to the alternative, "Scan the filesystem directly", all music was found immediately and correctly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Mount an NTFS drive 2. Scan a folder on the NFTS drive containing a subfolder which contains music. OBSERVED RESULT No files were found with "Use fast native indexer", files immediately found with "Scan the filesystem directly" EXPECTED RESULT All files to be found with the fast native indexer. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 11 also installed on machine, but error occurred using the program in Debian. Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.27.5 Qt Version: Not sure, got errors running qmake-qt5 --version and qmake --version ADDITIONAL INFORMATION My first time using Elisa! I tried using Juk at first and eventually found that Elisa is supposed to be the music player of choice on KDE after having issues with Juk.
Update, found the information screen: KDE Frameworks Version 5.103.0 Qt Version 5.15.8 (built against 5.15.8) Also having familiarised myself with the interface a little more I don't think I'll stick with Elisa. I don't see any functionality to make playlists based on rules like Juk or my (currently Windows exclusive, sadly) preferred media player Dopamine, which is essential functionality for me in a music player.
Probably worth asking a couple of questions here... Do you know whether you are mounting the NTFS filesystem with the "new" Paragon NTFS driver? That's the one in the kernel since 5.15 and not the, I think, FUSE one. When you are mounting the disc in /etc/fstab, the driver is "ntfs3" and not "ntfs-3g" Have you told Baloo explicitly to index the mounted drive - and are not expecting it to notice a symlink to it and index the files because of that?
Good tests are to see whether the command line tools can find the files, try: $ baloosearch -i one-of-your-files.txt and $ balooshow -x path-to/one-of-your-files.txt
