After a little experimentation, I have some more information to report. I am fairly certain that this is what's going on.
1) It seems that whenever trackerd is started by gnome-session, the infinite looping happens. 2) When I kill that trackerd and start my own, it nicely resettles into an Idle state. 3) When the gnome-session trackerd is allowed to go on for too a long time, even the user-started trackerd starts to loop forever (this is how I was able to get the original log). I have been unable to generate a log file of the gnome-session trackerd. I've tried editing the command used to start it up (In System->Preferences->Sessions), but it refuses to log to a file even if I type "trackerd -v 3 >> /home/pausanias/tracker.log". Oddly enough, "ps ax | grep trackerd" DOES show the redirect to tracker.log, but tracker.log doesn't grow. Is there standard logfile anywhere for trackerd? For now, my workaround will be to disable the gnome-session trackerd and start it manually myself, until you guys figure out what's going on. I'll be happy to help however I can. -- Tracker continually reindexes same files, databases grow arbitrarily large https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157523 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
