Use Gnome? \u00a0What is Tracker? \u00a0Well, here is the official description:<\/p>\n

Tracker is a search engine, search tool and metadata storage system.<\/em><\/p>\n

It allows you to find the proverbial needle in your computer’s haystack as well as providing a one stop solution to the organisation, storage and categorisation of your data.<\/em><\/p>\n

I would add that Tracker kills my system at boot. \u00a0Maybe not kill, but brings it to a crawl. \u00a0I have thought about disabling it, but sometimes I like the Gnome desktop search. \u00a0My fix for the boot issue:<\/p>\n

\/etc\/xdg\/autostart\n\nlittleturd autostart # ls -l tracker*\n-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 524 Dec 30 21:33 tracker-extract.desktop\n-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 532 Dec 30 21:43 tracker-miner-fs.desktop\n-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 597 Dec 30 21:44 tracker-store.desktop\n<\/pre>\n
Now change the following in each of the above files:<\/p>\n
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false\n<\/pre>\n
Of course, resetting things helped too.<\/p>\n
\/etc\/xdg\/autostart\ntracker-control -r \u00a0 :Kill all Tracker processes and remove all databases\ntracker-control -s   :Starts miners (which indirectly starts tracker-store too)\n<\/pre>\n
Last, don’t be dumb like me who mounts his NAS in his home directory, know what directories tracker is set to scan!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
