Never heard of either of those.  Both fsck and vacuum run through within
seconds and don’t output anything. I don’t use Nepomuk (nepomukcleaner
window is empty). It’s another one of those things... you know... ;-)
it’s been eating CPU in the past for no apparent reason and I never got
the hang of it, so I switched it off. `locate' is more ubiquitous for
me.

Nothing changed there, and it is definitely mysql. I once migrated from
sqlite, but that was long ago and on another installation. (This
system is only 2 months old and started out with 4.10.4).

I don’t know enough about maria to invoke a switch. I only know that
nowadays Oracle is bäbä and a DB-learned pal always disses it in favour
of postgres. *g*
On a sidenote, I went from being an enthusiastic Amarok-git user to
Clementine due to general dissatisfaction (stupid animations everywhere,
plasma creep).  Hell, I use a console-based player most of the time now,
it’s blazingly fast and has a more reliable album management. I guess
I’m getting old. :D

Sorry for ranting, it just feels good for a change.
