[opensuse] how to turn off Tracker in a config file?
Some package I installed made my KDE start using Gnome Tracker in addition to Nepomuk. tracker-miner-fs is using a tonne of memory and there are many tracker related processes. I know I can try disable it through the Applications/System/Search and Indexing tool, but I would like to turn it off automatically for all my 12.2 machines. Is there a config file setting that turns off Tracker? -- Carlos F Lange -- Recursive: Adj.

Hi Carlos, I found it was just easier to completely delete all the tracker in Yast. Enter "tracker" (w/o the quotes) in the search box and select "delete all" and accept. It usually comes up with some problems and I just select the first item in each problem. This has worked since at least OS 12.1 and hopefully will work on future releases until they either get rid of it or get it fixed.

OK, your idea is better. But since my goal is to automatize the process to include it in the installation script for my university lab (http://www.mece.ualberta.ca/~clange/Linux/openSUSE/12.2/instructions/openSUS...) , I found all the dependencies to avoid the need for interaction. Here is what I will use: zypper rm tracker tracker-miner-thunderbird tracker-miner-firefox tracker-miner-files tracker-gui nautilus-extension-tracker-tags grilo-plugin-tracker libtracker-extract libtracker-miner Thanks Tom! -- Carlos F Lange -- Recursive: Adj.

Why not prevent them from installing in the first place?

No, I don't want to prevent my students from installing additional packages. The goal is to provide a sane and uniform initial installation. But thanks for the suggestion. -- Carlos F Lange -- Recursive: Adj.

It wouldn't if you ended your process with: zypper rl tracker tracker-miner-thunderbird tracker-miner-firefox tracker-miner-files tracker-gui nautilus-extension-tracker-tags grilo-plugin-tracker libtracker-extract libtracker-miner Locking out before you start then unlocking after has to be much quicker than allowing the installs to take place and then uninstalling.
