Package: tracker-extract Version: 2.1.6-1 Followup-For: Bug #853827 This happens to me as well, and it fills up my /var partition with endless syslog errors from repeatedly trying to index .ogg files. My /var/log/messages is full of lines like:
Aug 6 00:33:50 magus tracker-extract[27409]: Could not insert metadata for item "file:///home/mike/Music/CD%20Rips/Katamari%20Fortissimo%20Damacy/Katamari%20Fortissimo%20Damacy%20-%2006%20-%20Lonely%20Rolling%20Star.ogg": Subject `urn:uuid:9b074666-3f45-0909-ecb8-df6ace3a4f83' is not in domain `nie:DataObject' of property `nie:dataSource' Aug 6 00:33:50 magus tracker-extract[27409]: If the error above is recurrent for the same item/ID, consider running "tracker-extract" in the terminal with the TRACKER_VERBOSITY=3 environment variable, and filing a bug with the additional information ...over and over for different files. If I "tail -f" the log, I see screenfuls of these messages go by very quickly, then it pauses for a few seconds, then more screenfuls of the same messages. The periods of log activity match the "extracting metadata" activity shown by running "tracker daemon -f". Running "TRACKER_VERBOSITY=3 tracker extract" on the file identified in the message above, it shows: --- ** Message: 00:38:09.722: Starting tracker-extract 2.1.6 ** Message: 00:38:09.722: General options: ** Message: 00:38:09.722: Verbosity ............................ 0 ** Message: 00:38:09.722: Sched Idle ........................... 1 ** Message: 00:38:09.722: Max bytes (per file) ................. 1048576 Setting scheduler policy to SCHED_IDLE Setting priority nice level to 19 Loading extractor rules...

These messages fill my /var partition within a day due to growth of /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/user.log, which I think qualifies as severity: critical. Is there a way to disable this Tracker thing? It seems to automatically and silently (well, except the logspam) try to index all my files, which I neither need nor want. Disabling the "Files" toggle in the "Search" section of GNOME Settings did not stop it. Neither did disabling GNOME's search entirely. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages tracker-extract depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.30.1-2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libcue2 2.2.1-dmo1 ii libexempi8 2.5.0-2 ii libexif12 0.6.21-5.1 ii libflac8 1.3.2-3 ii libgexiv2-2 0.10.9-1 ii libgif7 5.1.4-3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-2 ii libgsf-1-114 1.14.45-1 ii libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 1.14.4-dmo2 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.14.4-1 ii libgxps2 0.3.1-1 ii libicu63 63.1-6 ii libiptcdata0 1.0.5-2.1 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.2-2+b1 ii libosinfo-1.0-0 1.2.0-1 ii libpng16-16 1.6.36-6 ii libpoppler-glib8 0.71.0-5 ii libseccomp2 2.3.3-4 ii libtagc0 1.11.1+dfsg.1-0.3 ii libtiff5 4.0.10-4 ii libtotem-plparser18 3.26.2-1 ii libtracker-miner-2.0-0 2.1.8-2 ii libtracker-sparql-2.0-0 2.1.8-2 ii libvorbisfile3 1.3.6-2 ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-7+b3 ii tracker 2.1.8-2 tracker-extract recommends no packages. tracker-extract suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
