Sebastien, Sorry, haven't had time to pursue this recently... A little more searching led me to this question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/346211/tracker-store-and-tracker-miner-fs-eating-up-my-cpu-on-every-startup
What I see appears completely similar. The syslog gets huge, filled with messages such as: (tracker-miner-fs-3:7665): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 22:26:55.266: g_file_equal: assertion 'G_IS_FILE (file1)' failed Following the discussion at https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/tracker/faq/#how-can-i-disable-tracker-in-gnome I have executed systemctl mask --user --now tracker-miner-fs-3.service This seems to have solved my problem: syslog has stopped filling my hard drive, and the nautilus search in Files is back to normal functioning. I don't know what I may be missing without tracker-miner, though. Thanks again for your help - let me know if trying to get further debug information could be useful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1993557 Title: Nautilus "Files" hangs when trying to type search string To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1993557/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
