Public bug reported: Binary package hint: tracker
Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 tracker: Installed: 0.6.93-0ubuntu1 gnumeric: Installed: 1.8.4-3ubuntu2 Tracker uses ssindex (from the gnumeric package) to index spreadsheet files (.csv, .xls etc...) When a spreadsheet file is large (>50 mb), the ssindex process uses at least 5 times that amount of memory to index the file. This results in a slow, un-responsive system, requiring the ssindex process to be killed. I have had to prevent tracker from starting up, as excluding spreadsheet files in the index preferences doesn't seem to work either. ** Affects: tracker (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: gnumeric tracker -- excessive memory usage by ssindex when indexing large spreadsheets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
