For 2 or 3 days I have a problem with files with strange names in my /home/user direcory

Today I've found a file with name:
''$'\320''D'$'\a''m'$'\n''V'

When I cat the file there is:

Code: Select all

[KCrash]
exe=<C2>#Z^L^OV
appname=<B2>#Z^L^OV
apppath=^N#Z^L^OV
signal=11
pid=9143
<D0>D^Gm^JV (END)

I've checked coredumpctl and there is:

Code: Select all

coredumpctl -S 2023-02-17 | grep 9143
Fri 2023-02-17 21:15:16 CET  9143 1000 1000 SIGSEGV present  /usr/lib/baloo_file_extractor  3.9M

So it seems that it is a baloo related problem. Not sure what is going on.

I have the same issue and I also get some warnings when I run balooctl status:

Code: Select all

% balooctl status
kf.i18n: KLocalizedString: Using an empty domain, fix the code. msgid: "Unknown" msgid_plural: "" msgctxt: ""
kf.i18n: KLocalizedString: Using an empty domain, fix the code. msgid: "Idle (Powersave)" msgid_plural: "" msgctxt: ""

Fichiers impossibles à indexer : 0

Not sure if it is related to the main issue, but I guess it has something to do with the system's locale, since I changed mine to fr_CA.UTF-8.

I have the same errors.
I wrote a topic about this on Arch linux forum.
I was redirected here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466161

So it seems that it is something with plasma 5.27 update.

I had to disable baloo because last time it didn't create only 1 file. Last time I had to remove over 600 similar s...t
