CAN'T SEARCH files, getting "Invalid Protocol" latest Whonix v12

invalidprotocol · March 27, 2016, 12:07pm

Hi!

I just switched to the latest Whonix v12.0.0.3.2. For some reason I can’t search files anymore (CTRL + F). I just receive an error saying “Invalid protocol”.

Same error being discussed:
https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?65461-Dolphin-find-tool-does-not-work-anymore-always-quot-invalid-protocol-quot

If you take a look at the screenshot It’s basically the same for me. I do not have “Desktop search” available at my system settings.

Please help.

Just discovered I can search in my Root folder for example but not inside User.

Upstream bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766426

Summary, how to fix this:

sudo apt-get install baloo

And then wait a few moments. Search in dolphin will work then.

Will be fixed in Whonix 14 and above.
