STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a lot of unindexed files 2. Unplug your laptop fromAC OBSERVED RESULT baloo_file_extractor still consumes an entire core at idle anddischarges the battery EXPECTED RESULT No idle tasks run SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2
(In reply to Bruno Pitrus from comment #0) > OBSERVED RESULT > baloo_file_extractor still consumes an entire core at idle and discharges the > battery Do you know that the system has Power Management installed... I reference https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488439#c8 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446071#c22 which talk about Nixos and Debian. Maybe you need an equivalent install on Tumbleweed to provide the "is this machine on mains or battery" service
> Maybe you need an equivalent install on Tumbleweed to provide the "is this > machine on mains or battery" service Plasma clearly knows whether the system is on battery, since the tray icon displays the battery status correctly. Is this the service you're talking about?

Alas this is outside my area of expertise (and only have VMs to test on) but I'd say it would make sense if the the tray icon and Baloo refer to the same info... It might be worth adding the baloo debug options described in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446071#c23 That should show whether Baloo thinks it is "onBattery". In parallel... It would be worth running "balooctl monitor" to see what Baloo is indexing, whether you see a stream of filenames. How big is your ~/.local/share/baloo/index file? And see what "systemctl --user status kde-baloo" shows you. You are looking to see whether Baloo is hitting the memory limits set in the unit file (by default it is allowed 512 MB, which can be really small and Baloo will slow down considerably when it hits the limit)
