I have a similiar problem with Tracker in the last pre-release of Ubuntu Hardy.
Three days ago I did upgrade Ubuntu on my laptop (firstly from Feisty to Gutsy and next from Gutsy to Hardy), because I wanted to try Hardy before his release. When the upgrade process was successfully finished I restarted my laptop and log in into my account. After a few minutes my system has been unresponsible and I had to shut down the laptop. When I reboot my laptop then I found, using `top` command, that it was trackerd process. It took a half of all available RAM memory (I have 512 MB on my laptop). After a few minutes my Ubuntu has been unusable again. This time I didn't shut down my laptop, but I was waiting about 2 hours. Unfortunately it seems that it was too much for Tracker, because it still was indexing my home directory. It's a strange for me, because I haven't got a big home directory. It's only about 16 GB. The `top` process wasn't display any fresh information about my system processes. It simply hangs. I shut down my laptop next time. Now I can use Hardy, because I've disabled Tracker from Gnome Sessions. I haven't remove it from my laptop, because I would like to help you to resolve that problem. If you want any more details, feel free to ask me. But you have to tell me exactly what I should try to do or what files I need to check. I haven't any experiences with such tools like Tracker, because I have never need to use them. The `find` and `rgrep` utilities are good enough for me for many years. -- trackerd uses up all available memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
