plocate does not do/find anything
Description:
Ever since we have switched to plocate I could not get it to work for me. I am confused about all of this because from what I've heard from other people it just works out of the box for them.
excerpt from #archlinux-testing
2024-09-11 00:17:00•gromit• Foxboron: What am I doing wrong if plocate finds nothing even after doing a manual updatedb aswell as a "sudo systemctl start plocate-updatedb.service"
2024-09-11 00:21:29•gromit• I just tested it and i.e. "sudo pacdiff -l" yields no results while "sudo pacdiff" gives me my diffs as usual .. But this is only the motivating example "locate PKGBUILD" also gives back no result
2024-09-11 09:15:46•Antiz• gromit: Works fine on my side FWIW
2024-09-11 09:15:57•Foxboron• gromit: do you have any weird partition schema thing?
2024-09-11 11:30:19•gromit• Foxboron: no not really, standard btrfs on LUKS setup (I think) https://gist.github.com/christian-heusel/035f87cc62d66378a84b4275d991181c
