Ok, happened again. Trackerd is now at 100% CPU:

Two hours ago, after a change in a file made by my local dovecot server,
decided to go into pause mode but using 100% CPU. The last messages on the log

...and I had to kill trackerd at the end. Nice.
Will try to apply the workaround above. It's a pity, tracker is such a
nice tool when it works and not DOS you system...

...and then I killed trackerd via killall trackerd, and I cannot find
a way to have it back. Logging out-in say me that there is trackerd and
tracker-indexer running, but I have no applet, and running manually
tracker-applet (there is no such a thing in the applet list) does
nothing.
Sigh. There
I have a similar problem. When it happens, the tracker applet shows a

nothing happens. Then I deselect the pause and the usage goes to almost
zero, at least during a while (hours). Then it goes to 100% again.

I had similar trouble but tweaked its config file to workaround this.
[1] open ~/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg in your favorite editor.
[2] Change Verbosity to 0. Something like the following--
# Log Verbosity (0=errors, 1=minimal, 2=detailed, 3=debug)
Verbosity=0

Not ok. trackerd keeps running up to use all CPU after it finishes a

I can confirm this bug too, after getting around bug 511015. After
getting tracker to complete indexing, it seemed fine. However, after
reboot I have the infinite loop, high CPU, and growing .xsession-errors
symptoms. Also, the tooltip for tracker-applet says that tracker is
optimizing the
Thanks, Anita. I followed your advice and, trackerd has been behaving
for the past day or so. I still have .xsession-errors in my exclude

Fix that worked for me:
Delete the following and restart tracker:
~/.config/tracker
~/.cache/tracker
~/.local/share/tracker
Tracker will remake them. It must be a problem with a config file from
the older version.

Same problem here after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10. Deleting .xsession-

Hard to tell for #239391, since it looks that there are multiple bugs
symptoms in there, and the reports span from version 0.6.6 to 0.6.95.
The Fedora post is spot on though.

[karmic] Trackerd goes into infinite loop indexing
Well, this is bad news. Even with the manual ignore on .xsession-errors,
tracker decided some time last night to start tracking it anyways. I
woke up this morning to a home drive that had gone from 156GB free to
10MB (!) free. I've completely disabled tracker at this point.

I can confirm the same behavior on an upgrade from jaunty to karmic.
Manually adding .xsession-errors to the ignore patterns in the search
preferences stops the behavior.
