Nepomuk not updating the index

[rawthey]

kde-4.9.5
nepomuk-core-4.9.5
virtuoso-6.1.6_1

The nepomuk file indexer doesn't appear to run automatically on my system and new files aren't appearing in search results. I've checked system settings and "Enable Nepomuk File indexer" is ticked.

I can force the indexer to run by adding or removing a folder from the list of folders to be indexed but how do I get the index updated automatically?

Same goes for me as well. After upgrading to KDE 4.9.5 Nepomuk does not index automatically anymore.

[CMD=""]rm $HOME/.kde4/share/config/nepomuk*rc[/CMD] and reboot KDE desktop, if nepomuk works, you may re-configure it parameters in system setting

thanks, that fixed it for me I already tried removing the database, but I did not try removing the configs..aii

That appeared to fix it yesterday. I deleted the files and my home directory was re-indexed after I rebooted and logged in.

But it only appears to be a one off fix. I shut down my PC last night then rebooted and logged into KDE this morning. It's now about 5 hours since I logged in and there's been no attempt to re-index.

In the meantime I've implemented a manual workaround using the script from Trueg's Blog which provides entries in dolphin's context menu for recursively re-indexing a directory. But it would be much better if I could manage to resolve the problem properly and keep the index automatically up to date.
