HI How do I shut off the Freedesktop trackers?

maybe not the best solution, but it works for me gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files crawling-interval -2 gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files enable-monitors false - the above fetched from this list some time ago. question was the same: How to shut up tracker ? - sudo sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=.*/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false/' /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-*.desktop; the last command needs to be done every time tracker gets updated ! The first both only once. And the last command does NOT prevent that tracker gets started during login, but it stops after some time. see after some seconds: ps aux|grep -i tracker I'm currently NOT sure what tracker stops. I didn't dig in it that deep, but Tom Horsley did... extra: as user ! rm -rf ~/.cache/tracker && ln -s /tmp/ ~/.cache/tracker rm -rf ~/.local/share/tracker && ln -s /tmp/ ~/.local/share/tracker why ? /tmp is tmpfs and lives in my RAM, so no extra writing on my ssd ! btw: there are some more entries in ~/.cache I link to /tmp (on my single user box) ~/.cache/thunderbird ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
