Directories like /root/.cache/tracker, /root/.local/share/tracker and /root/.config/tracker are no longer created when launching gdmsetup, unlike version 0.6.6-1ubuntu5.

I don't necessarily think that it is a good idea to autostart an indexer. I am just pointing out that some apps rely on it.

why do you think that applications starting tracker over dbus is a good idea? users don't expect to get their system to start doing lot of io for the day just because they used deskbar-applet or nautilus search, especially when they disabled the tracker autostart to avoid that. autostarting tracker when using deskbar-applet is also a bad user experience because it'll always return an empty list which will lead the user to think the tool is just buggy, you really need to let time to index things before using it so autostarting it when you need datas is not something useful -- [hardy] gdmsetup cause intensive disk activity and take a very long time to open https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204770 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 204770] Re: [hardy] gdmsetup cause intensive disk activity and take a very long time to open
This feels as the wrong solution to me. Many apps may assume that Tracker will start by dbus activation. The 'right' fix is to make the Tracker backend of the filechooser not launch Tracker, merely see if it is installed (check if it is dbus activatable)[1]. Then if the user enters a query then Tracker will be launched by dbus activation as it should. [1]: Like the deskbar Tracker module does.

[Bug 204770] Re: [hardy] gdmsetup cause intensive disk activity and take a very long time to open
I see. So either use dbus directly without libtracker, add a peek_tracker_running() method to libtracker, or disable dbus activation. The simple solution is of course understandable for Hardy, but may break other apps (the deskbar handler relies on the activation file for instance). For intrepid a proper fix should be possible.

Also confirm this with a clean install of Hardy final release. It takes a long time to load gdmsetup and the intensive ticking of the hard drive while loading. -- [hardy] gdmsetup cause intensive disk activity and take a very long time to open https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204770 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Confirmed for a clean installation of Hardy final.

[Bug 204770] Re: [hardy] gdmsetup cause intensive disk activity and take a very long time to open
This bug is a consequence of a longstanding upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164786 (gdm frontend runs entirely as root) Notice that this upstream bug was opened in 2005, currently shows an assigned status, a priority=high and a severity=major. This bug has been the source of annoyances for ubuntu users for a long time as can be seen by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/27156 The reason it manifests itself in a more direct fashion now is due to tracker. The delay you are seeing is related with the indexing tracker does the first time it is run for a user. ps aux | grep root shows gvfs and trackerd processes running as root, that started just after running gksu gdmsetup in my normal account. ls -al /root/.config/tracker ls -al /root/.local/share/tracker ls -al /root/.gvfs also confirms this. -- [hardy] gdmsetup cause intensive disk activity and take a very long time to open https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204770 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
