[opensuse] tracker-miner-fs and the gnome-panel-applet-tracker
I have found that I have tracker-miner-fs running, and often at startup it hogs the cpu for a little while. I found this thread in the forums which was interesting, basically the same problem. http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/4595... The solution given at the end of the thread is, "If you have the gnome-panel-applet-tracker installed, you can disable it, just write "Tracker" in the box that you'll find when you click on the Suse button." I do have the gnome-panel-applet-tracker installed, as I found by rpm-qa | grep tracker, but how do you actually open and run this panel-applet so that you can find the Suse button and disable tracker? I also saw in my rpm qa that firefox and thundrbird use the tracker-miner. Will disabling it affect firefox and thunderbird? -- G.O.

gnome-panel-applet... ? What version(s) are you running; appletts are dead. If you want it not to fire up at login: "rm /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-store.desktop"

Those modules just send events to the tracker service; they will still use they just as well if Tracker is not running.
I also saw in my rpm qa that firefox and thundrbird use the tracker-miner. Will disabling it affect firefox and thunderbird?

I do not understand why tracker is pulled into my KDE installation in the first place when I duped 12.1 to 12.2. My guess is Firefox. I removed all tracker packages. It did not affect firefox. I guess I should file a bug about the former. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
