[opensuse] Disabling tracker without deinstalling gnome.
Hi, is it possible to disable tracker without deinstalling gnome? I use KDE but would like to keep the gnome installation. zypper rm gives me: barney:~ # zypper rm tracker Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following packages are going to be REMOVED: gnome-control-center gnome-control-center-branding-openSUSE gnome-panel-applet-tracker gnome-session gnome-session-default-session gnome-session-fallback-session gnome-shell gnome-shell-browser-plugin libtracker-extract-0_12-0 libtracker-miner-0_12-0 libtracker-sparql-0_12-0 nautilus nautilus-extension-tracker-tags patterns-openSUSE-devel_gnome patterns-openSUSE-gnome_basis tracker tracker-devel tracker-gui tracker-miner-files tracker-miner-firefox tracker-miner-thunderbird This means that gnome-shell depends on tracker.

Why remove it? Is it actually causing a problem? I assume you've verified it even starts when you log into KDE? You can just remove the miners, in which case tracker won't actually do anything. It looks like you can remove those without any dependency issue: rpm --test --verbose --erase tracker-miner-files\ tracker-miner-thunderbird \ tracker-miner-firefox Or use the tracker preferences UI to just set the miners not to mine anything [you can set where it will and will not index]. Or the best option - use it! It works very well and if you get used to using it saves a lot of time.

Looks like; good thing to. Who doesn't want to be able to search their data? That's just crazy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In KDE we have nepomuk (and in 4.8 beta which I just installed, it is really fast) and there is no point at all in having two indexing services, no matter how much you search your files. Having that thing start unconditionally is a bug. Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

rpm -ql tracker | grep autostart, edit those desktop files as root. and remove the KDE entry from the OnlyShowIn line. Note that GNOME apps that you use in a KDE session will not have tracker available unless you start it manually, I think the command line tool for that is tracker-control - I can't check this right now.

Thanks. Will this be part of the official packages? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, tracker-control is used to manipulate tracker from the CLI. Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I had some crash problem with thunderbird and was said that it was tracker fault. I removed tracker and the problem (partly) stopped, but like thunderbird is continuously updating I don't know if this is related. do you think possible that there could be an issue between tracker and TH? It's pretty hard to reproduce/follow, but I could try to do a bug report is usefull. Is is an openSUSE bugreport or a TH one (may I report upstream?) thanks short response is enough for me jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It is possible; there was once a Evolution<->Tracker problem. Typically integration is provided via a plugin. A plugin can usually nuke the app that hosts it. But I don't know how Tracker<->Thunderbird integration works. But it is only "possible". If the application is having issues otherwise...
Is is an openSUSE bugreport or a TH one (may I report upstream?)

Just remove tracker completely from your system. I couldn't stand it. IIRC, I just did: rpm -e libtracker-miner-0_10-0 libtracker-client-0_10-0 gnome-panel-applet-tracker tracker tracker-miner-files libtracker-extract-0_10-0 tracker-gui libtracker-sparql-0_10-0 nautilus-extension-tracker-tags tracker-miner-evolution totem-plugins and gnome still runs fine... 13:58 alchemy:~/scr/dev> rpm -qa | grep tracker 14:05 alchemy:~/scr/dev> -- David C.
