Anyone who has problems getting Nepomuk/Strigi to work properly, try the 
commands at 
http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi#Nepomuk_Indexing_Agents_have_been_Disabled

This removes the old database and restarts nepomuk.  Unfortunately you then 
have to rebuild the database, but everything does work after that.  Apparently 
it should only affect users who had already had virtuoso installed, so it was 
thought that most people would be fine.

Last night I decided to file a bug/wish for the ability to schedule indexing, 
so that those of us with less than optimal hardware could index while the 
system is idle.  Unfortunately bugs.kde.org was having problems.  I'll do that 
today and post the number here, so that anyone interested can vote for it.

I did have to use the nepomuk tray icon to suspend indexing at one point 
yesterday, though most of the time it didn't give me any problems.
