After updating my system yesterday, I noticed that tracker-extract is crashing a lot and so my journal is flooded by many coredumps.. I wasn't able to disable it completely, so I need to terminate it every time I log in with: tracker daemon -t
Is anyone having the same issue?
Versions: - tracker: 2.1.8 - tracker-miners: 2.1.6 - Fedora 29 Workstation
I reported a bug here (via Abrt): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1697484
cit: "I wasn't able to disable it completely..."
sudo sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=.*/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false/' /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-store.desktop
be aware: setting gets overwritten by next tracker install and/or sudo rpmconf -a !
AND it want help to catch tracker bugs...

Thank you, I forgot that tracker is started by those unit files. So I'm going to copy system wide units to my ~/.config/autostart and modify the parameter you pointed out...
I will remove them when this bug is fixed.

So after a week more or less, tracker-extract (tracker-miners) is still crashing as hell, many times since the session login, till I stop it with: tracker daemon -t.
After few minutes, if not terminated, the logs has grown up so fast up to 50+ MB.... Unacceptable.
I can't believe I'm the only one user on this list having this issue! I also tried to reinstall Fedora but the issue is still there. I also tried to revert tracker settings to defaults, but doesn't solve.
And, the bug I filed [1] hasn't been answerd by his mantainers (but i'm seeing that there are several bug reports of tracker* still unanswered).
I wonder why a big and famous distro like Fedora have similiar kind of support/QA to end users, and if I/we can do something to improve this situation or we can just "wait" keeping tracker disabled (that doesn't make me feel very happy at all).
At least, I'd like to point out that a new version upstream of tracker is out, but probably it isn't been delivered to F29 yet for dependencies' problems.
Ciao
