baloo stuck in idle state

Sat Mar 24, 2018 7:14 pm
My baloo search is silently stuck in Idle state.

I suspect that is happening because of inotify limit. When I stop baloo and try to make
/usr/bin/inotifywait -q -e close_write,moved_to -r -m '/home/avi9526/'

I get
Failed to watch /home/avi9526/; upper limit on inotify watches reached!
Please increase the amount of inotify watches allowed per user via `/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches'.

after increasing limit
# echo 20000 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
baloo seems to start working.

Would be good if baloo could at least notify user that inotify limit reached instead of silent idle.
