Public bug reported:
This still works for Ubuntu 16.04 tracker 1.6.2-0ubuntu1.1
On Ubuntu 16.10 tracker mining of the file system stops mid-way, most folders
are not re-cursed into.
- for a test system with 1 or 2 folders, it looks to be working
REPRO
Log in and start a terminal window
1. Configure
gsettings get org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files index-recursive-directories
['&DOCUMENTS']
- ensure that 300 or more folders are to be indexed
- to make changes launch the app Search and Indexing, tab Locations
2. Run
tracker reset --hard <<<y && tracker daemon --start && tracker daemon
--list-processes && tracker daemon --follow
# possible problem: does not launch a 'tracker' process
wait for: File System Idle
3. Examine Indexed Results
tracker status --stat | grep Folder
nfo:Folder = 3
find Documents -type d | wc --lines
559
BUG: those values should be same
4. List the directories that tracker failed to index
find Documents -type d -exec bash -c "if [ \$(tracker info \"{}\" | wc --lines)
-le 4 ]; then echo \"{}\"; fi" \;
BUG: Lots of directories
Downgrading to 1.6.2-0ubuntu1 still does not work on Ubuntu 16.10, although
that version works oj 16.04
- ie. tracker won't run at all under 16.10
GETAROUND
using kvm, create a virtual machine with 16.04, map your home folder there and
run Desktop Search in your vm
The command for mounting a mapped folder in the guest: sudo mount -t 9p -o
trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L /home/user /home/ubuntu/user
