Package: tracker Version: 2.3.6-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
I have 2TB of images in the 'Pictures' directory in my home directory. Since upgrading to Bullseye, I found that 'tracker' was using significant CPU, even after days, though the Pictures directory content was unchanged. I can't remove tracker since gnome-flashback-common and gnome-panel depend on it. I tried disabling tracker via systemctl disable and systemctl mask, but it was still running. I tried several suggested gsettings options, but the only one I found that worked was 'gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files index-recursive-directories "[]"'. Tracker wasn't using a huge amoutn of CPU, but on my idle system, it was using the most CPU. I feel it should be easier to disable tracker. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.2 APT prefers stable-debug APT policy: (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages tracker depends on: ii dbus-user-session [default-dbus-session-bus] 1.12.20-2 ii dbus-x11 [dbus-session-bus] 1.12.20-2 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.38.0-2 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.66.8-1 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.66.8-1 ii libicu67 67.1-7 ii libsqlite3-0 3.34.1-3 ii libstemmer0d 2.1.0-1 ii libtracker-control-2.0-0 2.3.6-2 ii libtracker-sparql-2.0-0 2.3.6-2 ii shared-mime-info 2.0-1 Versions of packages tracker recommends: ii tracker-miner-fs 2.3.5-2.1 tracker suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
