I've just seen this on a fairly fresh install of Tribe 5. My laptop had some problem coming out of suspend so I had to restart gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm restart), and when I logged in immediately afterwards I could see that trackerd was eating an entire CPU of this dual-core machine. I only let it run for a few minutes before killing it manually.
I don't know if it is normal for trackerd to run for several minutes like this, but I suspect if this was a single-CPU machine, the rest of the machine would have been completely unusable due to trackerd hogging the CPU. The "fix" of removing trackerd from the system seems to work though :-) -- trackerd eating CPU and memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130817 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
