Public bug reported: My computer hanged yesterday. After analysis, `/` is full, and all this is due to `/var/log/syslog` and `/var/log/kern.log` being full of messages from `tracker-extract`, until these logs get very large (3Go each !), eventually preventing my computer to respond: I was even unable to log in a TTY, and had to kill the computer using the power button (ugh).
So, the message stack is the following, and is repeated every few seconds, again and again and again: ``` $ journalctl -f _COMM=tracker-extract août 26 13:25:15 joel-T470s tracker-extract[11657]: If the error above is recurrent for the same item/ID, consider running "tracker-extract" in the terminal with the TRACKER_VERBOSITY=3 environment variable, and filing a bug with the additional information août 26 13:25:27 joel-T470s tracker-extract[11680]: Set scheduler policy to SCHED_IDLE août 26 13:25:27 joel-T470s tracker-extract[11680]: Setting priority nice level to 19 août 26 13:25:27 joel-T470s tracker-extract[11680]: Could not insert metadata for item "file:///home/joel/Images/2010/2010-02-00%20-%20Tignes/CRW_5845.CRW": Parser error at byte 1991: Expected ObjectList août 26 13:25:27 joel-T470s tracker-extract[11680]: If the error above is recurrent for the same item/ID, consider running "tracker-extract" in the terminal with the TRACKER_VERBOSITY=3 environment variable, and filing a bug with the additional information août 26 13:25:39 joel-T470s tracker-extract[11699]: Set scheduler policy to SCHED_IDLE août 26 13:25:39 joel-T470s tracker-extract[11699]: Setting priority nice level to 19 août 26 13:25:39 joel-T470s tracker-extract[11699]: Could not insert metadata for item "file:///home/joel/Images/2010/2010-02-00%20-%20Tignes/CRW_5845.CRW": Parser error at byte 1991: Expected ObjectList août 26 13:25:39 joel-T470s tracker-extract[11699]: If the error above is recurrent for the same item/ID, consider running "tracker-extract" in the terminal with the TRACKER_VERBOSITY=3 environment variable, and filing a bug with the additional information (...) ``` So, following the guideline, I launched the command on the said file, but nothing really interesting arose: ``` $ cd /home/joel/Images/2010/2010-02-00\ Tignes $ export TRACKER_VERBOSITY=3 $ tracker extract CRW_5845.CRW Tracker-Message: 08:48:27.050: Set scheduler policy to SCHED_IDLE Tracker-Message: 08:48:27.050: Setting priority nice level to 19 Tracker-Message: 08:48:27.057: Starting tracker-extract 2.3.3 Tracker-Message: 08:48:27.057: General options: Tracker-Message: 08:48:27.057: Verbosity ............................ 0 Tracker-Message: 08:48:27.057: Sched Idle ........................... 1 Tracker-Message: 08:48:27.058: Max bytes (per file) ................. 1048576 Tracker-Message: 08:48:27.058: Set scheduler policy to SCHED_IDLE Tracker-Message: 08:48:27.058: Setting priority nice level to 19 (tracker-extract:8940): dconf-DEBUG: 08:48:27.058: watch_established: "/org/freedesktop/tracker/extract/" (establishing: 1) (tracker-extract:8940): GLib-GIO-DEBUG: 08:48:27.063: _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation gvfs (GDaemonVfs) for ‘gio-vfs’ Tracker-Message: 08:48:27.063: Loading extractor rules...

The root cause seems to be that `tracker-extract` crashes on a file, and do not remember that it did fail the last time it tried to parse this file, so it retries each time it starts. So: what should I do now, to prevent this behavior? ** Affects: tracker-miners (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "image that causes tracker-extract to fail" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893042/+attachment/5404735/+files/CRW_5845.CRW -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893042 Title: tracker-extract crashes when trying to parse CRW file, and retries ad nauseam To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker-miners/+bug/1893042/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
