** Description changed: Binary package hint: tracker Hi all, I think the target entity is the trackerd or the tracker-applet. Working on removable media, a popup from the tracker showed me that the index was corrupt, what provided me 3 options: Accept, Cancel, Start Reindexing (or something like that). The main issue is that whatever I click onto, the popup always re-appeared showing exactly the same message, with the same 3 options. I saw from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker/+bug/305739 that this is a new feature, but the popup should disappear after the user commits one option. I used the top command and I saw that both trackerd and tracker-applet used either the 50% of the CPU (so the full CPU in usage from them), from the very beginning of the popup, and nothing about re-indexing was committed yet. When I accepted to re-index the content, the same popup reappeared, in addition to a new one advinsing that the re-indexing process could take a long time. In order to have a useful computer, I had to kill (15) the tracker- applet, and now I have the trackerd using the 50% of the CPU, even that I have nothing enabled to be indexed (at least conciously). Best, Jordi + + ***TEST-CASE FOR SRU*** + + * With the current version of tracker (0.6.93-0ubuntu1), for those experiencing corruption you will see an error notification dialog with "Reindex", "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons. + 1) Clicking Ok or Cancel will dismiss the dialog briefly and it will always re-appear straight away. + 2) Clicking "Reindex" in the error dialog may cause the dialog to disappear, but it may reappear again a short-while later if the reindex wasn't successful in clearing the corruption. + 3) Choose "Reindex" from the applet whilst monitoring the contents of ~/.cache/tracker. Note that file-index.db and email-index.db are not deleted on reindex. + + * With the newer version of tracker (0.6.93-0ubuntu2), if corruption is detected you should see a brief notification warning you that an index error was detected. This should disappear and re-indexing should commence with no user interaction required. The notification should not reappear again afterwards. Also: + 1) Make sure that you still see a confirmation dialog when manually requesting a reindex (right-click on applet, select Reindex. A "Reindex your system?" confirmation dialog should appear). + 2) Select a manual reindex from the applet. When doing this, monitor the contents of ~/.cache/tracker. After initiating the reindex, all .db files should be deleted briefly and then recreated again. + + It may be difficult to test due to you having to wait for Tracker to + corrupt the index, which might never happen. For those brave enough, you + can try manually corrupting your ~/.cache/tracker/file-index.db
