OK then, I stand corrected. I’m definitely glad it was fixed on the new 14.1 release ISO then. 
I made sure I reinstalled all exept for libnepomuk4 libnepomukquery4a
and libnepomukutils4 , since they refuse to.
System is now real slow and baloo is hoggin ram and cpu usage. Also the Desktop Search option has disapeard from my system settings window.
Baloo needs some initial time to index your files. You can however disable desktop search. If you don’t find it in systemsettings try to search muon/synaptic for it.
Also to see if it is installed the command
kcmshell4 --list can help. (execute in terminal)
I wonder how much time. It’s been going on for a couple of days now. For some reason it starts grinding exactly 40 minutes after boot, in other words to be able to work normaly on this machine I should reboot every 40 mn.
The list shows something called
kcm_baloofileadv - Configure Desktop Search
that kind of fit the description
How could I get that Desktop Seach Icon back in the System Settings. The Workspace Appearance and Behaviour isn’t even showing anymore (since it’s empty,I guess).
Is there a specific package Synaptic should install besides systemsettings ?.
Do you have netrunner-systemsettings-settings installed? Desktop search might appear under the category other then.
I do, and there is a Desktop Seach configuration thing under Advanced/Other, but ironcaly it doesn’t let you add or remove search locations.
So what does it offer you? An exclude list? If you add your home directory then it should not scan it anymore.
Well, yes once turned off, Baloo can’t leak all over the place anymore, and the system runs totaly smoothly again .
I was wondering if the never ending grinding and the missing Behavior option might have been a sign of missconfiguration. Prior to that messy update Baloo was running unnoticed, killing it shouldn’t be the only fix.
Okay, so the error below is showing up when update attempts are made since the update fiasco last week. How do I fix? Don’t say remove the nonexisting ppa. Tell me HOW to remove it, etc. What do I put in the terminal?
You would think by now someone would post something a casual user could understand as a fix. Sorry, but seriously. This started using Muon to update, BTW, but I’ve seen that others had the same problem with the update procedure through the terminal, as well.

You need to go in the software repositories configuration of synaptic and remove it from there. We don’t ship that sources config in any package so it must be auto generated by mintsources. I recommend removing this tool.
Hi guys, after I posted this problem I was pretty confident that the problem would be sorted out and I could get back to using a distro that I enjoyed. Well, that is now not the case, as can be seen from all the previous posts above this one. I am going to miss you Netrunner, it is with sad heart, but you have been removed from my hard drive. I really enjoyed our time together but like so many linux distros you died on me. RIP Netrunner, hello new buddy Mint Cinnamon.
jeffers489, I don’t try to convince you to use Netrunner again but I just want to say that I tested Linux Mint Cinnamon and it have its own set of problem (https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc)
For exemple the desktop freeze ramdomly many times a day for a lot of people, myself included… (https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/2946)
That said I think there was (there is ?) a problem with Netrunner update. We can’t ask anything because Netrunner is free but this kind of thing shouldn’t happen because it hurt badly the opinion on Linux. How the number of Linux users can increase if there is serious bugs ?
We are working heavily on reproducing and trying to find a fix for the problem.
You might have noticed that we had a long standing bug with repos being autogenerated and added that weren’t existing before.
We think we nailed the problem with removing mintsources from 14.1. (as it somehow conflicted with other software source management tools like the one included in synaptic or muon for that matter)
Of course this does not fix older systems therefor we need to find a solution for that and can only ask for patients and manually removing sourceslist entries that were autogenerated aswell as the mintsources tool which we identified as the root of the problem.
404 warnings are btw. a nuisance but do not break anything.
I think you should communicate more and officialy when there is issues. It is reassuring. If you don’t, even if you work hard to fix the problems, for us it seems that you do nothing.
Maybe you should say something about this on the Netrunner 14.1 announcement (http://www.netrunner-os.com/release-netrunner-14-1/) ?
For me the 404 warnings is a breakage because it delete the main Netrunner repo !
Ps. I do not criticize I just want to help improve my favorite distribution

We need to analyze the problem and the cause more before we can give any tips or add anything useful to the announcement.
This problem wasn’t reported earlier.
The earlier reports were about a second “main” Netrunner repo with a wrong dist in the name which caused the 404 but the main repo line was still intact.
So thats news to me.
I say it on one of my previous post 2 days ago :

Ah ok you meant this.
Yeah the packages.netrunner-os.com source is only important for mitnsources and mintdrivers. As we removed them from 14.1 this source was removed also.
Ok. Can you post a clean and complete sources.list please to be sure of what we should have ?
The latest and newest sourcelist for frontier can be found here always: https://github.com/netrunner/netrunner-apt-config/tree/frontier-14/etc/apt/sources.list.d
The default official-package-repositories.list should look like this:
# Do not edit this file manually, use Software Sources instead.
#deb http://packages.netrunner-os.com frontier-14 main #id:netrunner_main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netrunner-os/frontier-14-packages/ubuntu trusty main

Now am testing the command line apt-get method. After this the synaptic update way.
Just for the reference during update or after or in between did you or others who experience the 404 problem run mintsources ?
Thank you.
I didn’t run mintsources at all but I noticed the 404 problem only after a reboot.
