Hello Again,
I just had to reboot, and when I logged back in, Nepomuk just started on
it's own, and scanned successfully for a few minutes. I even checked one
of the files that it claimed to have scanned, and I could view the metada
in the right column of Dolphin. So, let's see if things are continuing
with that level of success...
A few minutes later it stopped :( The metadata that I had seen a few
minutes ago was still there. So, that's good at least. I'll leave my
system inactive for a little while and see if Nepomuk starts scanning
again. But, I have seen Nepomuk scan while the system is under load, so
that SHOULDN'T make a difference... We'll see.
Again, I am really interested in making this work, any help you can give me
is greatly appreciated.
