Public bug reported: Similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1837964 when starting the comptuer baloo uses high CPU usage (according to top) and then within 3 minutes deadlocks the system. The only way out of it taht I've seen is to use the ASPCI shutdown (reboot button held)
Unlike the linked post, this is on 20.04LTS and doesn't destroy the desktop. Using balooctl disable removes the problem, but disables the search and forces a re-build, which is somewhat inconvenient. I can provide more information upon request :) System specs (inxi -Fx): sarah@LesserArk:~$ inxi -Fx System: Host: LesserArk Kernel: 5.4.0-31-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.3.0 Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.18.5 Distro: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) Machine: Type: Laptop System: Hewlett-Packard product: HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC v: 097E110000405E00000620100 serial: <superuser/root required> Mobo: Hewlett-Packard model: 1968 v: KBC Version 93.52 serial: <superuser/root required> UEFI: Insyde v: F.70 date: 10/20/2017 Battery: ID-1: BAT0 charge: 41.2 Wh condition: 41.2/41.2 Wh (100%) model: Hewlett-Packard Primary status: Full CPU: Topology: Quad Core model: Intel Core i7-4702MQ bits: 64 type: MT MCP arch: Haswell rev: 3 L2 cache: 6144 KiB flags: avx avx2 lm nx pae sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3 vmx bogomips: 35118 Speed: 1561 MHz min/max: 800/3200 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 1561 2: 1713 3: 1627 4: 1622 5: 1677 6: 1858 7: 1557 8: 1490 Graphics: Device-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 Device-2: NVIDIA GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: nvidia v: 390.132 bus ID: 01:00.0 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.8 driver: modesetting,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,nouveau,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz, 1920x1080~75Hz OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GT 750M/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.132 direct render: Yes Audio: Device-1: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus ID: 00:03.0 Device-2: Intel 8 Series/C220 Series High Definition Audio vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus ID: 00:1b.0 Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.4.0-31-generic Network: Device-1: Intel Wireless 7260 driver: iwlwifi v: kernel port: 5000 bus ID: 07:00.0 IF: wlp7s0 state: up mac: e4:70:b8:f8:99:b8 Device-2: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: r8169 v: kernel port: 3000 bus ID: 0f:00.0 IF: eno1 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: a0:1d:48:fa:67:c0 IF-ID-1: tun0 state: unknown speed: 10 Mbps duplex: full mac: N/A Drives: Local Storage: total: 3.21 TiB used: 1.15 TiB (35.8%) ID-1: /dev/sda vendor: Toshiba model: MQ01ABD100 size: 931.51 GiB ID-2: /dev/sdb vendor: LITE-ON IT model: LMS-24L6M-HP size: 22.37 GiB ID-3: /dev/sdc vendor: Seagate model: ST2000LM015-2E8174 size: 1.82 TiB ID-4: /dev/sdd vendor: Samsung model: SSD 860 EVO 500GB size: 465.76 GiB ID-5: /dev/sde type: USB vendor: SanDisk model: Gaming Xbox 360 size: 7.48 GiB ID-6: /dev/sdf type: USB vendor: SanDisk model: U3 Cruzer Micro size: 1.91 GiB RAID: Hardware-1: Intel 82801 Mobile SATA Controller [RAID mode] driver: ahci v: 3.0 bus ID: 00:1f.2 Partition: ID-1: / size: 398.61 GiB used: 188.77 GiB (47.4%) fs: btrfs dev: /dev/sdd2 ID-2: /home size: 398.61 GiB used: 188.77 GiB (47.4%) fs: btrfs dev: /dev/sdd2 ID-3: swap-1 size: 14.90 GiB used: 0 KiB (0.0%) fs: swap dev: /dev/sdd3 Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 55.0 C mobo: 54.0 C gpu: nvidia temp: 50 C Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A Info: Processes: 399 Uptime: 17m Memory: 15.57 GiB used: 5.04 GiB (32.4%) Init: systemd runlevel: 5 Compilers: gcc: 9.3.0 Shell: bash v: 5.0.16 inxi: 3.0.38 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: baloo-kf5 5.68.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-31.35-generic 5.4.34 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-31-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Sun May 24 14:46:14 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-05-22 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) SourcePackage: baloo-kf5 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: baloo-kf5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to baloo-kf5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880428 Title: Baloo Deadlocks System on Startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/baloo-kf5/+bug/1880428/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
