Baloo is started manually in the following places with QProcess::startDetached - balooctl - qml monitor bindings - kcm (plasma-desktop) This is problematic as it skips all features systemctl --user kde-baloo.service provides. I strongly suspect this is how we end up with services not cleaned up properly. This all needs porting to systemd startUnit/stopUnit with QProcess as a fallback for legacy support. relevant code will be: ``` auto msg = QDBusMessage::createMethodCall(QStringLiteral("org.freedesktop.systemd1"), QStringLiteral("/org/freedesktop/systemd1"), QStringLiteral("org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager"), QStringLiteral("StartUnit")); msg << "kde-baloo.service" << QStringLiteral("fail"); auto msg = QDBusMessage::createMethodCall(QStringLiteral("org.freedesktop.systemd1"), QStringLiteral("/org/freedesktop/systemd1"), QStringLiteral("org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager"), QStringLiteral("StopUnit")); msg << QStringLiteral("kde-baloo.service") << QStringLiteral("fail"); QDBusConnection::sessionBus().call(msg); ```
This would be good...
Maybe also bundle up Bug 419708 in the change ... ... it seems strange to have to "balooctl enable" twice to get it to work.
