- nepomukservicestub filewatch [only if you use indexing]
- nepomuksetvicestub queryservice [or something like this: I'm not using 4.10 at the moment and I'm going from memory]

ps axu shows these processes:

/usr/bin/nepomukcontroller -session 10112153dbe2000136639756700000023900010_1367699067_882884

/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub nepomukfileindexer
/usr/bin/akonadi_nepomuk_feeder --identifier akonadi_nepomuk_feeder

The last one catches my eye, is related to the akonadi component that is failing but is different than the rest of them. I'll keep investigating.

I've been trying to get to the bottom of this Kmail Search (by pressing the Key "S") for a long time, as I was getting the same error dialog as you and others. Anyway, after as I was about to give up the Ghost on KMail,, I decided to try your readings above,
/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub nepomukstorage
/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub nepomukfilewatch
/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub nepomukfileindexer
running each one of the 3 individually in KRunner (Alt-F2), and lo and behold, the Search feature NOW, for the first day, WORKS!

Now, the question is, how do I get that command (3 times) with each parameter to start up when the computer starts up and I log in ... I realize I can do each of the 3 individually, if need to be, but now I'm searching for a way to have those 3 commands automatically be executed each time I log in.

Okay, I see there is a file in the "/etc/kde4/share/config" directory called "nepomukserverrc":

Code: Select all

[Basic Settings]
Configured repositories=main
Start Nepomuk=true

[Service-nepomukstrigiservice]
autostart=true

[Service-nepomukfileindexer]
autostart=true

[main Settings]
Used Soprano Backend=virtuosobackend
rebuilt index for type indexing=true

I changed the "autostart" items in the "Service-nepomukstrigservice" (whatever that is) and "Service-nepomukfileindexer" sections from false to true, so I'll see if the proper services start up next time I log in (which is rare, and usually takes a power failure ) enable KMail's Search Feature to work without any errors.

You also should be able to enable/disable those in "Configure Desktop" (aka systemsettings)->"Desktop Search".

Thanks for mentioning that; I had remembered later I forgot to reference that; it doesn't seem to change the autostart settings in the nepomukserverrc file on my end.

Well, it does here. Except for the Mail indexer of course which has its "Enabled" setting in akonadi_nepomuk_feederrc.

Btw, you can remove that section for Service-nepomukstrigservice, strigi is not used anymore. That's most likely a left-over from earlier versions.
Up to 4.9.5 nepumuk used strigi as file indexer, starting with 4.10 nepomuk has its own.

Thanks for the tip; I'll remove the section. Unfortunately, while what I done has done with the error dialog in KMail when press the "S" key, and the Search Dialog does indeed come up to set the search criteria(s), that does not seem to 'really' work; I don't understand, I did set nepomuk to index the
~/.local/share/.local-mail.directory
and
~/.local/share/akonadi
directories.
But that did not help either -- I've about the give up to ghost on KMail again.

This doesn't help. The mail must be indexed by the akonadi_nepomuk_feeder, not the file indexer.

Check in KMail's folder properties if indexing is enabled for all your mail folders (right-click on a folder, select "Folder Properties" and switch to the "Maintenance" tab; you can also force them to be reindexed there).
And maybe check in "akonadiconsole" if the akonadi_nepomuk_feeder is indeed "online".

I checked the Maintenance Tab on the Folder Properties in KMail for some folders, and it varies, some say it was indexed today, indexed yesterday, or "still not indexed".
On the issue to the akonadi_nepomuk_feeder in "akonadiconsole", it says (as usual), Status: Offline, (it then said "Broken" when I started this post, but now it says "Running (0%)" -- I did click on the "Force Reindexing" on some KMail Folders just now); ... the "Status Message" says "Indexing collection 'Forums'" (which is a folder in KMail), so apparently we've got further in getting this situation resolved.
Thanks.

How do I get the Akonadi Nepomuk Feeder's Status from "Offline, Running (0%)" to "Online, ..." ?

EDIT: Okay, I got it going.

Run "akonadiconsole", right click on "Akonadi Nepomuk Feeder Agent" and select "Toggle offline / online".
